    Are 2 speed TLD's really worth the xtra $'s?

    At almost twice the price I wonder if two speeds are worth it?
    I think I have almost answered my own question ie if you can afford it, go for it. the Treasurer says I can't afford the extra.

    So, for a single speed, do I need to go to a 25 for 15kg line (for trolling) or is it OK to put 15kg on a 20?

    Thanks

    Tony

    TLD 30 2 speeds have a slightly better drag area and weigh a lot more . For trolling with mono I would stick with a TLD 25. If float lining mono or bottom bouncing with braid the TLD 20 feels better balanced to me.

    Cheers Neil

    Thanks NeilD and banshee.

    Neil - I have a Charter Special for bottom bouncing and I am very happy with it. I am about to get a 6500 baitrunner for float lining, and have a Daiwa Emblem Pro on a spin rod. Just need to have a trolling outfit now. Sold my river boat yesterday, so money burning a hole in my pocket.

    banshee - I will check out Suffolks - but at the moment there is a large tackle store in coffs selling spooled TLD combos for $299. I would prefer to shop locally so I will give it a serious look - thanks for the tip.

    Did the club go out today? I fished the Ballina south wall this morning (no luck) There was a fairly brisk S-westerly blowing , the bar was nice and flat, but the horizon looked very joggly.
