Reels at Anglers Center®

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.

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.

Torsa Speed Handle-
Developed with the tournament angler in mind, shorter shank
on the handle allows for faster retrieve. Also works well for
jigging where speed is more important than torque.
