Shimano Torium 20PG A Jigging Reel

THE PERFECT BALANCE OF POWER AND DURABILITY 

The NEW Shimano Torium 20PG A Jigging Reel is Shimano's updated take on a compact & powerful saltwater reel that taps into one of New Zealand's favourite fishing techniques. Now incorporating new & improved technology the Torium reel from Shimano has taken this price segment to a whole new level. If you are in the market for an overhead jigging reel that can handle whatever you throw at it consider the Shimano Torium range; the 20 size is a perfect option for in-shore & offshore reefs. Paired with the Shimnao Backbone rod this is a set-up that will stand the test of time and provide a few long tails

The lightweight Toriums are solidly-built star-drag saltwater reels perfect for live baiting and bottom-fishing applications. Also able to handle jigging applications, the Torium is packed with features like Super Stopper, Cross Carbon Drag, SA-RB (Shielded Anti-Rust Bearings) and High-Efficiency Gearing (HEG), the Toriums have it where it counts. With a 4.6:1 gear ratio across the range, it also means casting lures and vertical jigs really rip.

Super Stopper II
Super Stopper II anti-reverse uses a one-way bearing that eliminates back play. This provides the angler with instant hook setting power. In some reels, the Super Stopper II can be turned off to allow back reeling for special techniques and situations.

Dartainium Drag
Dartainium is a special drag material that provides a wide range of drag settings and the smoothest performance on the market.

E.I. Surface Treatment
E.I. improves corrosion resistance. With E.I. a second layer of surface treatment is added after the anodising process. This treatment is forced to any micro-sized surface impurities, giving salt no place to adhere and no chance for corrosion to start.

Cross Carbon Drag
Cross Carbon Drag gives the reel smoother and more durable drag performance. The ideal material for the high drag pressure setting, with smoothness and consistent performance.

HEG
HEG consists of not only the gears, but also the frame, setplate and handle side-sideplate. First the size of the drive gear and pinion gear are increased to offer increased leverage and power.

Anti-Rust Bearings
A-RB are made of stainless steel that has been through the A-RB process. At least 10 times more corrosion resistant than standard stainless steel ball bearings. Easy maintenance no-shield design allows for easy flushing of debris and easy lubrication. Increased bearing speed-no shield design and lighter viscosity lubrication reduce friction and allow the bearing to spin faster and longer.
