Torque I think is what your looking at Good reels... light weight good drag, Torsa better but costly.

for an extra 100 bucks, you could get a Shimano Trinidad... way better IMHO.

The handle rattles and they dont seem solid. Other then that they seem ok. Go with Shimano

i would love a torsa but to much money. i have a torium but would like something with a little more azz.

Shimano Trinidad... has the star drag, just like the Torque.

i personally wouldn't want a lever drag (like a torsa) on a jigging rod... all it takes is one little tap on that drag and it's locked down and the line pops.

better drag, better gears.

i've blown up more penn reels than anything else combined!

Yeah, I'd say go with the trinidad over the penn torque, I've heard very good things from them. Besides, I'll take shimano over penn any day.

Go with the Trinidads! Have 4 of them, fish them hard and no problems. Have 1 114 HLW left and when it quits I'm done with Penn.
