hot rodding the single speed tld 20 and 25

[@eddiekeeler9955]

Alan, thank you for a YT tutorial. I don't own any Shimano reels, but watched just to see you in action.

[@ryanploeger203]

Such great stuff Alan! Please keep making these awesome videos.

[@sentient8146]

I’m afraid just contemplating tearing my TLD down to that level is terrifying. It’s humbling!

[@gamara99]

You all just got schooled by the master. Lay down and tremble with gratitude for the wisdom only Alan Tani can bestow.

[@bevseltzer4514]

I learn something new every time I have me reels worked on at Alan's. I'm going to have to take my TLD 25 over next time. Going to slap a bigger handle on it too if he has one. They are the bomb!

Bev Seltzer where is his shop located and what is his contact information?

[@Albertosq92]

HI Alan, greetings from Ecuador Big fan of your TLD work Would like to contact you and buy two tld 20 kits (handle, washers, drag carbon fiber) from you. Also want to ask you if you have done the same to the TLD 15

[@Fishstycz]

Really cool tutorial Alan. Thanks. One would think that Shimano, with their large and dedicated R&D department would have solved these kind of issues from the word go.

[@shafqatullah1735]

Wondetfull tutorial Alan.

[@daviddarkman5628]

Great Video Alan can the samehot rodding upgrade be achieved on the Shamano tld 20 2 speed to improve the drag?

[@shirtlessGraveler305]

Learned a lot from this video , and I have the 20, never been taken apart , works great , and yes the ridiculous factory crank is a joke ..............so it’s off and installed a Tiburon a year and a half ago, way better cranking power and just feels right. I have a question though , I need longer reel seat screws....I had my rod rebuilt and they installed a larger diameter STUART reel seat and the screws are not long enough to use the factory shimano clamp..................now what ? Where do you find longer screws ?

[@2007Oskar2007]

Having owned and serviced various Okuma, Sure Catch, Penn, and other Shimano reels, these are by far my favourite reel due to their simple and reliable design. Replacing the handle as Alan recommended is a must; it is by far the least attractive feature on the TLD series.

Hi Alan Where can I buy the larger T bar handles

[@jmerchant9]

Hey Alan , I have 2 TLD 20 and 2 TLD 25 , I would like to send them to you for cleaning and your upgrades. How do I get in contact with you?

[@zero_to_1000]

What do you mean 15 pounds of strike?

[@ChasingDreamsLivingLife]

What would you charge to update my reels to this configuration ? TLD25’s

[@raulcolindresjr2741]

Hi…can apply these same upgrades to the TLD 15?

[@dawslammernz]

thanks for your video Alan, would you know why i can not get bearing off my tld star 20/40 spool shaft? seems pressed on, thank you .

[@GoBIGclan]

Can I send it to your shop to be serviced?

[@brantduncan1]

What’s the cost to send a TLD 20 to you for this upgrade ?

[@andrewruiz918]

i have a shimano tld 25 that recently got serviced because of a busted bearing but a few weeks later while fishing it for the first time since it was serviced there is a hugeeeeee problem with the lever drag system. it wont free spool,the crank locks up, very hard to turn up into sunset mode,and even cranks backwards. with that being said are there any tips u can give me to fix these issues ?

[@sundragon8626]

Hi Alan, I tried hot rodding my TLD 25, however when I turn on it s side the spin is only marginally improved ? I have another drag washer spacer will this help ?

[@javiergomez5222]

Hello friend. I have a problem on my tld 25 and I was wondering if you can help me? The problem is wen I set it for release the line in the “free” section it doesn’t release the line I have to move the regulator drag next to the knob, do you have an idea what could be happening?

[@OneBodyFishing]

Where do you get the washers, shims, and drag upgrade?

[@nickouellette484]

I may have missed if you answered this or not, but do these upgrades work on the tld 15?

[@shannonthompson8024]

Have you ever hot rodded an shimano triton GT4?

[@oTrIbAL612o]

Looking for a place to purchase the shim. Any recommendations?

[@TyScott85]

Does all this info apply to a TLD15?

[@shafqatullah1735]

Yes

[@kishidabu]

[@deadfishcustoms6414]
