This is the best real for the money! I used last weekend on the back-side of Catalina and caught some bass, nothing that big but the Shimano Torium is very easy to use and works under any condiitonns. A multifunctional reel.

Rated 5 out of 5Â by cudakilla power reel
I bought the TOR30 reel last year after comparing several others, went in to bass pro to look at it myself. I was looking for a reel that I could cast from the boat and that had extra power to reel in the monsters. the 6.3:1 gearing is exceptional. The reel did not disapoint.
It is very smooth on the cast using power pro braid, and the retr. is quick and smooth as well. From 250' depth to top water fishing the reel proforms great. Weight is not that bad if you consider the size & line cap, and if paired with the right rod can be balanced quite easilly. I paired mine with a Shimano 7' tallus casting rod.
Gears feel solid, as expected from a shimano.
If you can aford it, it is a good reel for the price. And you get what you pay for from shimano.
This is NOT a beginers reel by nomeans, more suited for seasoned anglers.

Rated 5 out of 5Â by Gators5220 Jigging Reels
I bought a couple of Torium 20's for my clients to use when I take them vertical jigging for snapper, grouper, and reef donkeys (aj's), mostly because they were cheap...I have to say I've been very impressed I've gotten three years of hard use out of them, they don't owe me anything. I had some Daiwa saltist before and they were peices of junk, the freespool levers always broke, I wouldn't use a daiwa saltist for a boat anker. This coming from a guide with almost 15 years of experience.

Rated 5 out of 5Â by NJAngler26 Great Reel!
I think the Torium is a great reel for the price. I have had my two Torium 20's for 2 years now and have had no problems. The reel is very study feeling and very smooth. It casts pretty well and works great for all my saltwater applications. Ive done everything from casting small poppers to cocktail blues, to trolling bunker spoons for 40+ pound stripers with this reel and have had great results all around.

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

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:Â
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 Anglerâ„¢ Ocean Master® IM7 Light Tackle Series Casting Rod, 38-164-302-00.Details:Â
Also, what would be a good rod for the Tor20?Answers
A:Â
The Torium is right hand retrieve only. Please consider the Ocean Master Light Tackle rod 38-164-302-00 .

This refers to the number of inches of line recovered with each full revolution of the reel's handle.

does anyone know how this thing could handle casting heavy chunks baits ( 6 + ounces of lead and bait) from the surf?Answers
A:Â
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:Â
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.
