Hows it going mate
I cant speak for the shimano because i have never used them but I own 4 Tierras and love them
For my bream
i am using a 1500 Tierra on a 1-3kg Berkley dropshot spooled with 6 lb braid
I also use 2x 2500 Tierras for my snapper fishing in the bay on 2-4kg Dropshots and a 4000 on a 6-10kg dropshot for offshore fishing
