What's the difference between Daiwa 20 Saltiga (G) and Shimano TLD?
Shimano TLD 25X
- With a gear ratio of 5.33 out of 10 (3.6:1), torque gets higher priority than speed and makes the reel great for deep sea drops or hauling heavy fish from the bottom
- Scoring 8.01 out of 10 (695g / 24,52oz), this reel is lighter than expected for a saltwater model, which helps on long sessions without extra strain
- A line retrieval (per crank) of 81 centimeter / 31.89 inch helps bringing in line quickly, making it great for repositioning or working topwater baits
- A bearing score of 7 out of 10 (4) provides decent smoothness with moderate corrosion resistance
