TORSA

High Speed. High Power.

When designing Torsa reels, one main goal was to redefine all current ideas about speed and power. Traditionally, lower gear ratio means more power, and higher gear ratio means less power.

This remained true until the release of the Trinidad reel. Trinidad reels were equipped with High Efficiency Gearing (HEG) which, by using a rigid platform and oversized gears, proved that the dream of high speed with high power was a reality.

So with the release of Torsa reels, Shimano included the largest gear they could build. This gear is 22% larger than the Trinidad drive gear and 67% larger than the venerated TLD 25 reels.

The amount of power generated by Torsa’s drive train, oversized handle shank and Ergonomic Power Grip is unbelievable. Along with today’s super braided lines, it will usher in new meaning to “sizing down” to tackle powerful game fish.

Also contributing to the power of the reel is a Super Stopper one-way roller bearing with Assist Stopper back-up ratchet anti-reverse system. The system has no back play for solid hook setting power and the reliability of two ant reverse systems.

The oversized drag washer, can generate incredible drag pressures for a reel its size, and is created using the same proven material used in the Tiagra series reels of 2-Speed lever drag reels.
