Default RE: Shimano Torium 30

My love for them is bittersweet. I've owned a fewmodels since they came out with them and have had no issues with mine even on big tuna and AJ's. On the other hand I've used someone elses Torium on board and have nearly broken my hands from failed anti-reverses. I still love these and recommend them to my customers but if they are intending to use them for anything other than all around bottom fishing or light trolling I show them another reel.

I've owned five trinidads which look almost identical for the most part internally and have never experienced any of the problems I've had with toriums.
