What's the difference between Shimano TLD and Delphin BRONZ?

Shimano TLD 15X

  • At 5 out of 10 (10kg / 22,05lbs), the drag is on the lighter side—suitable for smaller saltwater species or finesse-style presentations
  • Scoring 8.49 out of 10 (528g / 18,62oz), this reel is lighter than expected for a saltwater model, which helps on long sessions without extra strain
  • A line retrieval (per crank) of 75 centimeter / 29.53 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
  • Built tough for the salt, ideal for seafishing.
