It was time to put her down...

She was very faithful. Not matter how hard she was beaten, she almost always came through. While her very existence rankled some less anglers, she took the pressure well. I'll miss you old girl... I'll miss you. :cry

Yup. No way you can catch marlin or swordfish on a TLD25. :grin

Wow. Did you really round file it, or just retire it to a shelf like a museum piece? Hard to think you wouldn't want all that experience 'on board'.

And thanks again for telling some of us willing to try that you can do it with TLD 25s.... I think my thanks to you for that went with the last forum crash.

NO NO DON'T DO IT! I will give her a good home.

You cannot put the world famous TLD25 swordfish reel out to pasture!!

Please don't do it, think about how good she has been to you. She still has a life free lining pilchards somewhere.

OK, If its that time and you have to do it, she should be buried at sea on the 50 line!

If there were archives, the number of posts which related to that TDL25 may have set some kind of record!

Pretty much. If you recall the old days, reason I started sharing all the info including numbers was to hack off the little clique that was trying to discourage people from trying it. Scoring free drinks was just a bonus. :grin
