Shimano Torsa Reel
Product Description
SHIMANO® Torsa Reel - This saltwater reel has more speed, more power, more versatility and better castability than any other reel on the market today. With the release of Torsa, Shimano included the largest gear they could build. The amount of power generated by the drivetrain, oversized handle shank and Ergonomic Power Grip is unbelievable. The oversized drag washer, can generate incredible drag pressures for a reel its size. The overall weight of the spool was reduced to lower the startup inertia. At the same time, most of the mass is distributed outward resulting in the spool spinning longer. VBS uses centrifugal force to slow down the spool at the beginning of the cast, then reduces the braking force as the spool slows. This gives a much more consistent spool speed translating into a more manageable cast. The handle side of the spool is taller than the non-handle side giving the angler a very consistent surface to thumb the cast.
