would this reel do ok for jigging and bottom droping

slow jigging straight down.. yes... retrieve is kinda slow for the butterfly type... you do a check and the majority of Yellowfin are caught slow jiggin... bottom drop for sure.. chunking for sure.... I just loaded 500 yds of 100# spiderwire braid on my TLD20...hehe.. its aluminum framed, so I can push the drag in the 30's.....:)

i use one for chunking and bottom fishing, one day i will upgrade to something else but with the MODS i did to mine i am pretty happy till it explodes...

everybody's happy until it explodes.
the key is to stay happy.
the only happy angler is a broke angler!

just dont overdue the drag setting.. if I remeber, I think they say not to go over 25# of drag on the stock graphite frame.

i know i am looking at an AVET right now to possibly upgrade to...

4/0 EX ??? sweet reeel for the price.... conversion will push the drag into the 30#'s range...

Conversion on the TLD or on the EX? If the EX what conversion?

Special K..

Ronnie is talking about using an after market milled aluminum frame conversion on the TLD 20 he has.

http://www.SmoothDrag.com has upgrade CarbonTex drag washers.

Gotcha I thought that was it just was not sure. Does anyone know if smoothdrag.com has drag washer that fit an Avet that will give it more/smotther drag without loosing freespool?

~~ I am talking about the extra washer Alan Tani puts in the AVET EX 4/0 that will push the drag into the 30's at strike and still maintain freespool...

is that the only avet you can make that work with?
