There is a guy in Bedminster, PA with 2 TLD 25's (I think) on rods. One looks brand new. I think he wants $125 for them. I can give you his info if you want.

 I have a 20 and 25 to use for trolling stripers, blues and anything that will bite.
 
 The 20 landed a nice tuna to the dinner table too, almost got spooled, but still did the job.

Really depends what your gonna use it for. The reel is good, your use may not be.

I am a mark for Shimano, I have had their reels since they were located in Parsippanny. With that said, I love all my reels but I couldn't ask for more out of my TLD 15's. I have used them for trolling bass and blues, albies, bonito mad football bluefin, deep water heavy weighted Fluking and have boated some decent sized sharks. A little TLC and the reels will hold up over the long haul.
