Is The Silstar Tf 20 Anygood?

[shefford]

Im looking at getting another "cheap" overhead reel for bottom bashing, live baiting and trolling in the summer months for mackies.

At current we have a shimano td-20 (that we've had for over 10 years) still running as good as gold and a few years ago we bought 2 penn 220's we had constant problems with the drag washers and general reel itself stuffing us around.

Over the next few weeks i'd like to have a look at buying another overhead reel that could say hold 200+ metres of 40lb + mono.

I've considered getting another Shimano td20 or

perhaps the Shimano td25(don't know what the difference is)

the silstar tf-20 seemed a cheap special, but don't know much about them.

I'm pretty impressed with the shimano brand so far, but would you guys suggest any other brands and models for me to have a look at?

Budget: $0-$200 preferably.

I know i wont get much but i want an entry level one, as i don't fish too far out and don't fish for the bigger species like YFT etc

Have a look at the Daiwa Sealine SL range, most are around $150-$200, seems like a good place to start
