A game reel is basically built up like a multiplier reel, but of much more robust construction.
They all have a spool in a strong frame, centered between two side plates.
Most modern trolling reels are designed with an variable lever drag system
with the maximum setting pre-set to suit the line being used.
This allows quick and easy changes to the drag during use
and allows the setting to be returned to the original setting after the fish is landed.
Some reels have two speed gearboxes making it easier to fight
stubborn and deep fighting fish like big Tuna and Shark.
Gear changing is instantaneous using a control on the reel handle.
Furthermore all trolling reels are designed with a very loud ratchet,
informing the angler and crew when a strike occurs.
The TLD 2-Speed is a light to medium game reel with a superb lever drag mechanism.
It has a machine cut aluminum spool, 4 stainless steel ball bearings,
an adjustable pre-set screw for drag setting, a loud strike alarm and
an easy accessible gear changing mechanism.
The 2-speed feature makes it possible to keep line tension
on charging fish as well as pulling stubborn fish from the depths.
