In Shimano's long-running TLD range, the TLD 15 Multiplier gives boat anglers a lightweight lever-drag reel for lighter lines, at-anchor fishing and drift work. The family is known for straightforward offshore reliability, with this 15 size sitting toward the more manageable end of the line-up.
A one-piece graphite body keeps weight down while helping resist corrosion. The aluminium spool, stainless steel reel foot and stainless internal gearing are useful details on a reel that will see regular saltwater exposure.
The lever-drag layout gives a different feel from a star-drag multiplier. Instead of turning a drag star, the angler moves a lever through the drag range, making it easier to return to a known strike setting while playing fish.
For the TLD15 model, Shimano lists a 4.0:1 gear ratio, four bearings, right-hand retrieve and an 18.6oz weight. Line capacity is broad enough for typical UK boat work, including lighter mono and heavier braid options.
A loud click strike alarm gives clear feedback when line is being taken. A-RB bearings are treated for improved corrosion resistance, which is useful when the reel is rinsed and reused through a full season.
Bass, pollack, mackerel, general boat work and lighter offshore species all sit within its intended use. The 15 size makes most sense where dependable lever-drag control matters more than rapid retrieve speed or maximum winching power.
