Would you consider the TLD 15 lever drag, single speed a 30# reel?  Bill
It may not be very productive,
but it's sure going to be interesting!

yup, it would do fine.  it should hold about 300 yards of straight mono.  no real benefit in adding braid here.  i would add a carbontex drag.  and, of course, there are handle options.   ;D
send me an email at alantani@yahoo.com for questions!

Thanks Alan.  It belongs to a friend and I was going to try it out on the 8 day.  Bill

I bought one about 7 years ago. After I dunked it, I disassembled and replaced the canvas looking washer with a Smoooth drag c-Tex washer—-much better. Then I added a spool shaft spacer sleeve(AKA "bearing sleeve")to eliminate some free-spool rub when the reel was tilted sideways——much better.
Alan has a nice tutorial on these in the Shimano Conventional section.
