The A-RB bearings provide the corrosion resistance needed for saltwater use.

From an angling perspective; every individual who has owned and enjoyed using Shimano tackle has a reason to thank a Japanese visionary named Shozaburo Shimano; who in 1921 declared “I aim to make Shimano's products the best in Kansai; then the best in Japan; and finally the best in the world." For over 80 years; Shimano has concentrated on precision engineering; one step at a time. Creating the most innovative products and processes you can hold in your hand today. Review: Great Reel - This is a great reel. It’s actually a little bigger that I originally needed but I spilled this one up with 40 lb. braid. It made a nice addition to my other 2-speed reels and I know it will not disappoint. Love it. Review: Deep Deep sea. A++ - One word “BIG” seems very well made. It’s just huge lol. You get your moneys worth I assure you. Now to find a rod that would stand up to whatever this would catch I haven’t used it on the ocean yet. ## Features - Strong, one-piece graphite body that is lightweight and resists corrosion - Adjustable 2 Speed Retrieve - Aluminum Spool - Aluminum Power Handle with Oil-Ported Torpedo Knob - Stainless Steel Reel Foot - Stainless Steel Pinion Gear and Main Shaft - Stainless Steel Drive Gear - Loud Click Strike Alarm ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B001443EHW | | Bearing Material | Stainless Steel | | Bearing Number | 4 | | Best Sellers Rank | #348,690 in Sports & Outdoors ( See Top 100 in Sports & Outdoors ) #999 in Fishing Reels | | Brand | SHIMANO | | Brand Name | SHIMANO | | Color | Multi | | Customer Reviews | 4.6 4.6 out of 5 stars (111) | | Date First Available | September 30, 2004 | | Fishing Line Type | Monofilament | | Fishing Reel Line Retrieve | 38 Inches | | Fishing Reel Maximum Drag | 42 Pounds | | Fishing Technique | Trolling | | Gearbox Ratio | 4 | | Global Trade Identification Number | 00022255084598 | | Hand Orientation | Right Hand | | Handle Material | Aluminum | | Included Components | Shimano TLD50IILRSA TLD 50IILRSA 2SPD | | Item Dimensions LxWxH | 1 x 1 x 1 inches | | Item Package Dimensions L x W x H | 12.17 x 6.26 x 5.79 inches | | Item Weight | 1 Pounds | | Line Capacity | 80/440 | | Manufacturer | SHIMANO | | Material | Metal | | Model Name | TLD II | | Model Year | 2012 | | Number of Items | 1 | | Package Weight | 2.23 Kilograms | | Part Number | 0068-1339 | | Product Dimensions | 1"L x 1"W x 1"H | | Size | Gear Ratio: 3.5:1 | Size: 50 Right | | Special Feature | Rust Resistant | | Sport Type | Fishing | | Style | Tld II Speed 50 L.r.sa | | Suggested Users | unisex-adult | | UPC | 022255084598 | | Warranty Description | 1 year limited manufacturer warranty | ## Product Details - **Brand:** SHIMANO - **Color:** Multi - **Fishing Technique:** Trolling - **Gearbox Ratio:** 4 - **Hand Orientation:** Right Hand - **Handle Material:** Aluminum - **Item Weight:** 1 Pounds - **Material:** Metal - **Model Name:** TLD II - **Special Feature:** Rust Resistant ## Images ![TLD II - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61794OLopKL.jpg) ## Questions & Answers **Q: If I want 50# braid line spoole to this reel how much it will cost me?

It’s actually a little bigger that I originally needed but I spilled this one up with 40 lb. braid. It made a nice addition to my other 2-speed reels and I know it will not disappoint. Love it. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Deep Deep sea. A++ *by G***. on July 20, 2025* One word “BIG” seems very well made. It’s just huge lol. You get your moneys worth I assure you. Now to find a rod that would stand up to whatever this would catch I haven’t used it on the ocean yet. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ My new favorite reel! *by J***E on July 9, 2025* My new favorite reel! You get that same smooth, high performance, you get with the TLD series except it offers you the fishing ability to drop it into low and torque the big fish up with ease. As usual for a TLD the line capacity is more than favorable for the deep drops. I am in South Florida which means a ton of use and abuse but this reel is built tough and for durability. Like my TLD 20's and 15's, both the easiest and low maintenance reels out IMO, this reel will get to see plenty of action. ## Frequently Bought Together - Shimano TLD 2-Speed Conventional Reel - Reaction Tackle Braided Fishing Line - Pro Grade Power Performance for Saltwater or Freshwater Fish - Colored Fishing Line Braid for Extra Visibility - Fiblink 1-Piece Saltwater Offshore Trolling Rod 6-Feet Big Game Rod Conventional Boat Fishing Pole --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.co.uk/products/9206551-tld-ii](https://www.desertcart.co.uk/products/9206551-tld-ii) --- *Product available on Desertcart Great Britain* *Store origin: GB* *Last updated: 2026-05-01*
