I can afford and will be purchasing one of the following 3 reels.....
Penn Squall
Diawa Seagate
Shimano TLD 20

All 3 are priced about the same, all seem to fit what i need ( drifting/ trolling/ bottom fishing off cape may) and are all very good.

The advice from you guys will determine which one i get....ive never been steered wrong on here...

So ...gentlemen...start your opinions!

Don't know about the penn. I have a 4/0 & 3/0 Penn Senator. Also have a TLD 20. Great reels for bottom and trolling.

Danger25 Loc: Philly/ Cape may New Jersey

Yeah....pretty much decided on the TLD 20......

Just for shits and giggles...went back to google and typed in “ best saltwater fishing reel manufacturers”....Diawa is at the very top of every single list....but probably couldnt give one away from what i read on FS.....gotta wonder why...

Why not buy all three and the two you don’t care for take them back for a refund?
