Shimano Torsa® Reels- Imagine a saltwater reel with more speed, more power, more versatility, and better castability. Dream no longer, Shimano has designed and created the Torsa®. A small, high speed, high power lever drag reel, with excellent castability. Couple these features with the new Rapid Fire interchangeable cam system and you have the most versatile tackle innovation ever seen. The perfect choice for the Shimano Trevala Rods and Shimano Butterfly Jigs.
Speed & Power
The Torsa redefines the meaning of speed and power in a small lever drag reel. With Shimano's HEG® (High Efficiency Gearing), oversized gears placed on a rigid platform, this reel produces unbelievable speed and torque. The main gear in these reels is 22% larger than the main in a Shimano Trinidad, 67% larger than the main in a TLD 25. The ergonomic Power Grip handle with the extremely long handle shank provides comfort and reduces fatigue, while increasing torque. Longer lever = more power.
Castability
Intricate machining of the spool reduces overall weight of the spool for lower startup inertia. This means it takes less energy to get the spool spinning for less chance of backlash. The machining is more drastic at the center of the spool, which effectively distributes the mass outward, The result is similar to a bicycle wheel, where most of the mass is in the tire. This allows the spool to continue to spin longer. The spool lip on the handle side of the reel is higher than the non-handle side of the reel. This aids in castability by giving the angler a smooth, consistent surface to thumb the spool, rather than thumbing the line itself, which results in a more manageable cast. Rapid Fire® Quick Change Drag Cam System The amount of drag that is increased or decreased when the drag lever is moved can be easily described as the "drag curve". Most drag curves throughout the fishing reel industry are very similar: a gradual increase in drag pressure from the freespool position to the full position. With the new Rapid Fire Quick Change Drag Cam System found exclusively in Torsa, this versatile reel can change to cater to specific techniques. By simply putting the reel into freespool and backing off the preset knob, the angler removes the drag cam from the reel. Then, by inserting one of 8 available Rapid Fire drag cams, you completely change how the reel is set up to fish within a matter of seconds. No tools required, and no screws to fall onto the deck of the boat. Rapid Fire Drag Cams to order and more information. A-RB® (Anti Rust Bearings) Shimano's A-RB bearings are made of Stainless Steel that has been through the A-RB process and are at least 10 times more corrosion resistant than standard Stainless Steel bearings. Super Stopper® with Assist Stopper Super Stopper uses a one-way, stainless steel roller bearing that eliminates backplay. The Assist Stopper is the back up system to the Super Stopper that consists of the traditional pawl and ratchet. Forged and Machined Aluminum Components
The frame, sideplates and spool
are made from aluminum, which is first cold forged and then machined.
