What's the difference between Shimano TLD and Shimano 2020 Saragosa SW A?

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
