Title: TLD 15 (87-98)
Post by: LanceV on January 15, 2023, 05:12:59 PM
Hello all first post. I have question on the older TLD 15 bearings. I measured the two smaller bearings on the right of the spool, measured 5x11x4. I was going to purchase new but the seller I'm dealing with is adamant the correct are 6x12x4. Can someone let me know if they have run into this. Thanks all

Smoothdrag lists them as 6x12x4 too. That's odd

admittedly weird, but if they fit and that's what you've measured, then go with it.  i don't remember the sizes of the tld 10 either, but it is possible that you have an old tld 10?

5x11x4 is for a 10, maybe that's what you have?

Figured it out the TLD 1987 to 1998 use the smaller bearing
