Reel Repair by Alan Tani

TLD 30  2speed /TIBURON  mod. upgraded drags,bearings, Belvedere stack pulling 30+LBS. of drag ready for MR. COW!

Looks good but I wouldn't fish it with 30# for cows!

What kinda material is the Tiburon tld frame made out of? Do they make one for the tld 15?

These are aluminum frames one piece.  They're old stock and I'm pretty sure not available anymore.  They're called magnum frames.  

I know they made them for the 30, and I believe they also made them for the 20, I do not think they were made for the 15.  Another company made one for the 50, it's called a "will fish" frame.  I've got two of the 30's and a 50 with them.  No more risk of breaking off the reel foot on a cow.

Ive caught 300lb fish with only 17lbs of drag. 60lb main line.

The Will Fish frames for upgrading TLD30II and TDL50II (I believe currently out of stock) are available through Will Fish Tackle (under new ownership) in Auburn CA.  According to the new owner, they will convert your reel for around $180.  They can turn a TLD20II to a TLD30II and also install a 50 size drag plate for additional cost for parts.

The Tiburon Mag20T and Mag30T frames can still be found, sometimes as complete TLD20II and TLD30II reels, on various website classified ads.  Prices vary from $250-400 for a complete reel.
