Bought this reel for bottom fishing out of Hatteras,NC. I have used it 6 times. Started hearing grinding noise and the reel lost it's smoothness. I sent it to Shimano and they told me the gears were shot, now i did hook up with a few good size shark, but i do not think this reel is for med to heavy applications. For striper,sheepshead, and tautogs yeh this would do it. 80% of my gear is Shimano, just going with something better.

I fish the Gulf of Mexico. 3 years ago I bought 6 Toriums, (2) 50s and (4) 30s. I have since caught more kings, lings, dorado, grouper, Ajs, snapper etc. than I could possibly count with these reels. Great reels. Keep them clean and I think they will last forever.

I fish in the gulf of Mexico 2-3 times per week, and the Torium consistently delivers excellent results catching King, Ling, AJ, Dolphin, Snapper, Grouper, bull reds, and pretty much any fish over 10 lbs. I've used most of the others, including higher end shimano models, and Torium is the best value around. Keep it clean and lubricated, as with any reel, and you'll get years of dependable use.

Details:
What is the main difference between the Tor 14 and the Tor 16? I plan on spooling with 50 lb Spectra. Which would work better for casting a 6 ounce swim/jig for Ling Cod off the California coast. What would be a good rod for either of these reels? I presently use a Tor30 spooled with 80 lb spectra for Rock Cod. Thank youAnswers

A:
In the end it's only about line capacity, if I were you I'd get the larger reel (Torium 16) Only because if you want to use it for something else it has the capacity to do this.
A:
The diferences between the Tor 14 and Tor 16 are the reel weight 15.7oz vs 22.4oz, Maximum Drag Full 13lb vs Full 22lb and braided line capacity 225 yds./65 lb vs 260 yds./80 lb. The Torium 16 would be your best choice when using the 6 oz. lure. Please consider the Offshore Angler™ Ocean Master® IM7 Light Tackle Series Casting Rod, 38-164-302-00.Details:
Also, what would be a good rod for the Tor20?Answers
A:
The Torium is right hand retrieve only. Please consider the Ocean Master Light Tackle rod 38-164-302-00 .Answers
A:
This refers to the number of inches of line recovered with each full revolution of the reel's handle.

A:
Line retrieved per crank of the handle, in terms of the complete rotation of the handle...
A:
Line recovery is the amount of line a reel retreives per handle rotation.Details:
does anyone know how this thing could handle casting heavy chunks baits ( 6 + ounces of lead and bait) from the surf?Answers
A:
It's not ideal for casting - better for bottom fishing or trolling. For the ultimate in casting heavy baits from the surf, go with either a Shimano Stella or Van Staal spinning reel. Shimano Sustain is also a great choice. A spinning reel will work best for casting heavy baits from the surf.A:
I throw baits with a pound or pound and a half of lead to hold my sturgeon baits in the heavy current. They cast very well.
