Size-Specific Uses:
The series has five size options. The smallest starts at 2000 for finesse applications and goes up to 4000, which covers a broader class of fish from light beach and offshore to heavy inshore. Below, we will detail a little extra info on the sizes.
Small Size Class
the 2000 and 2500 are the small sizes in the TD Black series. These two sizes are ideal for light fishing situations. Where they excel is fishing estuary and lake systems. Species you may encounter or target are bream, whiting, trout, bass, perch and other light fish classes.
Generally, 6 ft-7 ft graphite fishing rods are ideally suited for the 2000 or 2500 size. A rod with a line class rating of about 2-5kg will be perfect.
Medium Size Class
Starting with the 3000 model, this could classify as either a small or medium reel. Why you would choose a 3000 size over 2500 will equate to your line capacity decision. The 3000 size embraces additional lines or supports a sturdier braided or mono-fishing line classification.
It’s a size that will suit mid to heavyweight estuary fishing should you wish to up-spec your line class.
In terms of fishing rod choice for a 3000 size TD Black, we generally suggest picking a graphite rod with a rating close to 3-6kg and a length between 6-8ft.
4000 is the next level up in size and excels as an ideal heavyweight inshore fishing reel or light offshore spin reel. It is perfect for the angler who targets cod, barra, queenfish, mulloway, and other mid-class fish.
Rod-wise, a 4000 will generally suit short boat rods and shore spin or light surf rods weighing 5-10kg or thereabouts.
