penn squall 50

[DeWaLdMeYeR1]

Hi guys,
I am looking for a trolling rig for our next fishing trip to catch big wahoo, sailies, tuna of 20kg odd etc and had a look at this reel. Priced very nice and i like the lever drag function although i've never used it before. Would just like to hear your inputs? Should i rather bite the bullet and settle for a tld30 or tld50?

hoeveel wil jy spandeer

jong,
laat ek dit so stel, ek wili onodig geld ini water gooi nie, as hy dieselfde werk sal kan verrig as die tlds dan vat ek hom eerder, maar is ook n groot shimano fan. Die trippie gan n duur een wees en het nog baie tackle sakke om vol t maak. Wat stel jy voor? Het jy n penn squall 50?

Ek glo nogal as jy so iets koop moet die nleeftyd hou van my tld25. Is al 20jaar oud en ek gebruik hulle nou nog hulle kos so 1200 die shimano tyrenos 30 is nog beter en jy kan hulle kry vir 1600 weet nie wat die pen kos nie

ok thx,
ek stem saam met jou, ekt na die tld50 gekyk en hy is hakken duur. R3k omtrent. Die penn squall50 is met n combo penn stok vir trawl te koop vir R1600 odd. Sal bietji die line capacity van die 2 vergelyk en dan mar n besluit maak.

The Squall 50LD is more or less the same size and class as the TLD25

The Sql60LD is the same size and capacity as a Trini 50

The top brace can be removed and it is an excellent casting reel

Carbontex drag system with good retrieve ratio and plenty power.

Those I know who have them are happy with them and use them for trolling and surf casting.

Thanks Enigma,
So if i go for the squall60ld I get a decent trolling reel, but one I can also use as a sharky reel?? Good to know! Will have a look at the price ranges. Just wanted to know the reels reputation. Whether or not its up for the job of a decent size tuna/wahoo/sailie.

Rather get the TLD 25 IMO.

Thanks Bennie,
will be sending you an order for demon tackle in a week or so to start stockpileing for our trip!
Thanks for the honousty.

Bud, My biggest fish on a TLD 25 was a Black Marlin of 80kg. NO PROBLEMS! I know the guys catch Yellow fin in the 50kg class on them with no hassles.
