| Other than the obvious 80 and 130 class offshore stuff that costs a bundle, anyone have opinions on what reels are good enough for 80% of the catch? Looking at TLD 25 but was told to move up to the Tyrnos 30 at least. We have two 30W that work great but trying to add qualty reels that will last and catch most of hookups out there. What are mos using out there? Thanks for the info. I currently use 2 113h Penn and am forced to use the GTi330 Penn on the way back down the middle. Trying to move up to a 7 line spread when we have the anglers that can help. Otherwise, its four to five in the spread on outriggers and corners. 25 foot boat so beam is not enough to go bigger.

The tyrnos is a really nice reel. We have two of the tyrnos 30s. They are solid, smooth, and have lever drags. TLDs are good too.

TLD 25 is fine for alot of what you'll encounter. We fish 4 of them and a 50 on our boat. I would say the norm is all 50's when fun fishing though

TLD 50II LRS will handle most of what you are going to get into. We troll 4 of them plus 1 TLD 30II in the shotgun position. They are light weight and great for small boat and stand up fighting. We have caught 15lb snake wahoo's, T & R a 107" Blue, and everything in between with them. And you can get one from Sam's in Orange Beach with a good quality All Star Trolling Rod for just north of $500 bucks I believe. Not a bad price.
Never argue with an idiot, they'll drag you down to their level and beat you with experienceEverglades 260 CC

We're running two TLD 25's, two Tyrnos 30W II's and 3 TLD 50II LRSA and have caught about everything on them. Some of our best fish have been on the TLD 25's and they held up ok. The only thing about the 25's... I don't like is the small handle!!!
