Shimano Triton TDL5 Lever Drag Reels

[charliebettell]

I have had a pair of Shimano Triton TDL5 Lever Drag Multiplier Reels for many years now - for the last 15+ years they have sat in a draw doing absolutely nothing!

 

I was told that they may be worth something as the TDL5 is, as far as I'm aware, no longer made.

 

They are in very good condition - in perfect working order.

 

My question is this, is the pair of them worth £90?

 

I put them on ebay but have not had a sniff!!

Hello Charlie.

If Davy and Norrie have shown such rapid interest, those reels must be worth a fortune?

Old discontinued Shimano tlds, are now sought after for some strange reason. If they were so good, why were they discontinued?

So far I'm amazed at the interest show in them on AN.

 

I did not have a clue they were worth much more than the start price that I put them up for on ebay.

Hiya,

 

To me they aint worth any more that £50 each, but the collectors will pay much more for them.

The strange thing is you can get brand new TLD25's for just on £100.00 each now.

Hi Charlie, Good luck with your reels.I will be watching.I put an old Mitchell reel on a couple of weeks ago, started it at £2.50,thinking if I got about a tenner I would be doing well,after 4 hours it was at £60, I nearly fell off my computer chair, it finished at £180.

Just been in my draw again - is a Shakespeare President 1984 multiplier, with a fair bit of ware to the the side plates, worth putting on ebay.

 

It's in perfect working order!

Norrie, a personal question, did you get the £180?

 

I'm new to ebay and I'm a bit dubious of it at the moment.
