You fill a 50W next to a tld
You fill a 50W next to a tld 20 and you will see a difference, its like comparing a saltist to a calcutta

Im not sure if you missed
Im not sure if you missed the point or not but the 50W will hold a hell of alot more than the tld of 15kg , and when lines stripping off your reel ,no matter what reel you have, you'll wish you had a hell of alot more.

fishin out of a boat
when ya fishin out of a boat mate you can still chase the fish to gain back line.....i think if i remember right i can fit 480m of 15kg mono on me tld 20 which is heaps .....but every one has a different point of veiw

I dont see anything wrong
I dont see anything wrong with them for trolling. Ive serviced many and all of them are simple yet consists of fairly strong gears. What they do need is an initial service straight out of the box. Once that's done it'll last as long as you look after it and fish within their limits.

I have an Okuma Titus 20
I have an Okuma Titus 20 gold 2 speed and its pulled in mackys and tuna without any drama's. I prefer it to the tld but that just my opinion. Its strong, smooth and its PRETTY as well.

?
Depends on what line class your wanting to run and how much of it also lapipi?
As for Okuma reels, not bad at all but many brands on the market to look at.
