Grant 1874 Posted November 23, 2010 Share Posted November 23, 2010 Hi raiders I am looking a buying a game combo which has a Tyrnos 50 2speed with it, but i have no experience with these reels. Are they better than the TLD 50 2speeds? Any replys will be appreciated Thanks Grant Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
framedtrash Posted November 23, 2010 Share Posted November 23, 2010 yep they are alot better then the TLD's better gearing,holds more line better drag tyrnos has a max drag of 19kg and the tld has 17kgs and the tyrnos are alot more solid tho they are a little heavier Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
whiting Posted November 24, 2010 Share Posted November 24, 2010 what application are the reels for? the tyrnos has Diecast Aluminium Frame while TLD has Graphite Frame. if you are going to use a size 30 reel but pul 50lb on it. its better to use tyrnos, but if you are going to use 30lb line TLD is good. it is made of graphite frame, therefore it doesnt corrode. it is light, so it is good for rock fishing when you are battling your fish. but if you are on a boat, tyrnos will be better. it also comes down to price too. TLD is cheaper than tyrnos Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grant 1874 Posted November 24, 2010 Author Share Posted November 24, 2010 Thanks Guys im looking to get 1 for trolling for tuna & marlin. The reel will be loaded with 24kg mono Cheers Grant Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
finin Posted November 25, 2010 Share Posted November 25, 2010 M8 forget the braid for trolling for starters, stick with mono, if your that desperate to use either of those reels for marlin, well good luck. Have seen a TLD virtually fall apart on a marlin and have also seen the drag blown apart on a small stripey around 100kg. Do yourself a favour if your serious about these fish, save some money get a tiagra and a custom rod! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But i have use the TLd 50s before to catch marlin & i have seen them on the shows using them> How could the drag blow apart? isnt that sort of fishing what those reels are designed to do?

Cheers Grant I've got a Tyrnos 50 and I love it. I've caught solid Mako's on it, SBT (not barrells though). I did get a 50kg SBT on a mates tyrnos 30 and it was beautiful to use. I've used Tiagras and though I'd love a selection of them, the Tyrnos represent great value to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

finin Posted November 26, 2010 Share Posted November 26, 2010 (edited) No they arnt, to cut a long story short. IMHO if like i said you want to catch serious gamefish, invest in a Tiagra. They are designed for it, sure tyrnos catch fish and big ones at that but when it comes to the crunch, they as well as TLD's will fail unless you know how to use the reel and rod and you have an exceptional skipper no matter what size boat. A solid mako is something over 150kg, 50kg is just fish cocktails and a pup at that! Edited November 26, 2010 by finin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A solid mako is something over 150kg, 50kg is just fish cocktails and a pup at that! Note that I never said the solid Mako's were 50kg finin, especially on 24, I agree that's no sport at all. I'd present a 50kg Mako something on 4 or 6. Solid to me is also well into triple figures, and it'll never run with the power of a big YFT or Marlin anyway. On the other hand, a 50kg SBT (bluefin)on 15kg will give any reel a good workout and the Tyrnos 30 did it well. They are a good reel. If only we all had the coin to enjoy a selection of Tiagras the world would be a better place, but to make gamefishing affordable to us peasants, the Tyrnos is good value.
