Nipper Posted May 11, 2005 Report Share Posted May 11, 2005 i am just about to move as many of you know and today we had a sort out at home and took some rubbish down to the tip. when i was throwing the junk off the back of the truck i noticed a little black handle in all the rubbish so i stopped and jumped off the back and investigated and found a fishing reel its in excellent condition . it's a shimano TLD5 and it works perfect i couldn't believe my luck, so i swiftly threw it in the truck before anyone else sore it i was going to take it back and complain it had no line on it only joking but what a nice find . mark b Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul D Posted May 11, 2005 Report Share Posted May 11, 2005 Mark, The TLD5 is fast becoming a collectors item ( checkout the prices they go for on E-Bay ). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Afishionado Posted May 11, 2005 Report Share Posted May 11, 2005 You jammy jammy ting you! Well done they are a lovely reel. Well worth having it serviced and checked over. And certainly a 'keeper'. I i give you a quid will you buy me a lottery ticket? Luck like that needs sharing round Mad Mike Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
great white Posted May 11, 2005 Report Share Posted May 11, 2005 Mark Nice one mate well done. I have three TLD's so if you want it checked over internally just pop it over here and I will check it for you. I have the three bigger ones 15.20 and 25, but they are very simular inside I would get some line on it damn quick and see if its your lucky reel. Lovely reel for braid and deep water drifting. set the drag on the stop, then its instant to back it off with the lever to give line, and back to the set tension every time.

Swainiac Posted May 12, 2005 Report Share Posted May 12, 2005 Mark, for lighter braid fishing, I doubt you'll find a better small reel. Billy found me one, and I paid Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
