Title: New Shimano Torium
Post by: conchydong on July 11, 2018, 01:23:08 PM
Looks like Shimano will finally produce a new Torium series with 4.6/1 gear ratio for power along with a larger handle. I guess it will be released at ICAST.
Looks like it might be a nice little reel.

looks like they've finally figured out that there is an advantage to larger handle grips!

With that handle it looks like a jigging reel.

and lower gear ratios.
It should sell like hot cakes if it has gears like a TLD 20/40

nice reel, but why the 20 or 30 LH only with HG and not with PG Gear?
