Title: Daiwa SLD 20
Post by: CI_Seawolf on July 02, 2026, 04:40:14 AM
I found a nice condition SLD20 2 speed in my reel cabinet.  It was my 50 lb 2 speed back in the days of TLD 20's and 30's.  Doing some research it looks like it can only obtain 15 lbs of drag in standard configuration.  Is there a way to get more drag out of the reel?  I would like to use it as a wahoo trolling reel on long range trips if possible.   It has an aluminum frame opposed to the graphite frame on the TLD.
