penn torch reels - Page 2

i fished a torque 300 all summer and after about 2 weeks i could put it in freespool anymore! the lever was corroded! i rinse all my stuff after every trip and never had something like that happened to me. half hitch fixed it but thats the last expensive penn reel. i would go with the trinidad or ocean jigger if you get a hand on one!!

dailysaw (11/4/2008)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.

The only thing about Shimano is its a b%$%& to work on them.

Look at Fin-nor's offshore series of conventional reels. They are b-a reels. The largest one made is a OFC30H.

true-king (11/4/2008)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.
