Yeeros Posted February 12, 2007 Share Posted February 12, 2007 Hi Guys I was wondering if any of you guys know much about these reels and if they compare to the TLD50's and Tiagra's. Might be able to get one and wanna see what you guys think or have heard about them. Tks for the help guys Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pjbink Posted February 12, 2007 Share Posted February 12, 2007 They were Shimano's first lever drag game reel and came out in the 1980's. I dont think they supply parts anymore. I still have mine from the first shipment into Australia and its still going strong. The waterproof drag was a good feature and an advantage over the Penn Internationals and Everols available at the time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pjbink Posted February 12, 2007 Share Posted February 12, 2007 they different or same as beastmaster? The Beastmaster replaced the TTS series. I think the latter had 2 speed gearing. The TTS was one speed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yeeros Posted February 12, 2007 Author Share Posted February 12, 2007 Well if they don;t have parts anymore then it might be an idea to get a diff type of reel. What do you think? id'e be using it for LBG Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

james1990 Posted February 13, 2007 Share Posted February 13, 2007 I have 3 shimano beast masters 20/30 and 2 30/50's i use, they needed a good service to get them to run good, the drags used to squeel but now are smooth as, i look after them really well a good wash, dw40 pull them apart and clean the insides every few uses but i guess nothing would bet a tiagra or international cheers james Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You could always ring up the Shimano importer to confirm re the TTS. I heard the parts were low for the TTS some time ago. In my 20 year old TTS I have never had to replace a part so they are still a good buy in any case if the price is right. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
