<SPAN id=body0>Im going to buy a new jigging reel in the near future and was wondering which one would be best to get a shimano torium or a tyrnos?

Tyrnos is obviously a better reel. However i would go with the torium. The extra money for the tyrnos is unnecessary, and the torium has a quicker gear ratio which is better for jigging. Torium is completely functional for jigging. I have 4 on jigging rods myself. If you do want to get something more expensive, Trinidad is more suited for jigging than tyrnos.

Second the Trinidads. Have 4 and they are the real deal!

what size reel should i get the 16 or 20

Captain Woody Woods

what are you typically fishing for?

The 16 Torium is a great jigging reel unless your going for monster tuna or something. Don't get the 20 or 30, they just have bigger capacities and add weight. Torsas and Trinidads are pretty expensive and I don't think that's necessary unless you are beating them to death every weekend.

Take a look at the Daiwa Saltist. It doesn't get the ink that shimano gets but they are nice reels and priced the same as the torium. Both are great reels but the Saltist has less parts and a better drag system. The 30h is the same size as the torium 16. If you ever check out the florida sportman forum the guys over there rave about the Daiwa.

I do mostly freshwater striper fishing now but i want the reel to be able to catch grouper and snapper.

BTW you can get a Torium with a scratch or 2 on Ebay for less than 100 bones......

I was looking at that. Have you ever used the daiwa saltist? I think im going to go with my gut and get the shimano. Now i need a jigging rod any ideas?
