DESCRIPTION

At first glance, and in comparison to many other reels, the Trinidad instantly stood out. It was an all-metal design with a fast 6.2:1 gear ratio, yet the blurb still promised that the reel would produce plenty of torque for cranking in big fish.

That the reel is still near the top of Shimano's portfolio years later is testament to what Trinidad has successfully continues to deliver. To put this to the test for Planet Sea Fishing, I am going to investigate what could arguably be the best all round size for UK angling, the Trinidad TN14. With a capacity of 200m of 16lb mono, 6 A-RB (anti-rust) ball bearings plus a one-way roller bearing, centrifugal brakes and those meaty 6.2:1 gears, a reel like is equally well suited to up-tiding afloat, drifting for bass or working lures on wreck or reef. Additionally, shore fisherman who frequent rougher ground, or deep water marks where all-out distance is not required, may well find this reel ideal.At first glance, and in comparison to many other reels, the Trinidad instantly stood out.
