Catch mackerel, tuna and other big game with the lightweight power and solid construction of these star-drag conventional reels. Shimano Torium Star Drag Reels are new to Shimano's Torium series reels. They are compact, rigid and powerful saltwater conventional reels with excellent castability and durability - a must for saltwater. Many top anglers use them bottom fishing or live-bait fishing as they are built for these extreme applications.
The Shimano Torium Star Drag comes in nearly a dozen models to find the perfect conventional reel. TackleDirect has right-hand and left-hand models with either an egg handle or power handle and several gear ratio options. All of them have specially treated anti-rust bearings and cross carbon drag that both result in the smoothest runs you've experienced. There's nothing conventional about this reel that comes with a satisfaction guarantee. Call or email us with any product questions.
Shimano Torium Star Drag Conventional Reel Features:
- S Compact Body: Power, rigidity, durability results in a reel that feels one size smaller in your hand. The B-side sideplate is all one piece, contributing to both rigidity and in-the-hand palming comfort. The A-side sideplate has the handle, drag adjustment and cast control knob.
- E.I.: This is the second layer of surface treatment that is added after the anodizing process. This treatment is forced into any micro-sized surface impurities, giving salt no place to adhere thus preventing corrosion.
- Cross Carbon Drag: The ideal material for the high drag pressure setting, with smoothness and consistent performance.

The Shimano Torium Star Drag TOR30HGA will work well for the species you are targeting on the troll. Please let us know if there is anything else we can assist you with.
The Shimano Torium 16 would be a good reel for the type of fishing you are looking to do. The rod that would pair up nicely would be the Shimano Terez TCZ70M. Please let us know if there is anything else we can assist you with.
Using the Torium for bottom fishing I would recommend braid between 20 and 65 lb depending on the size of the reel. Please let us know if there is anything else we can assist you with.
For shark fishing from the surf, I would recommend either the Torium TOR30PGA (SHM-3546) or TOR40PGA (SHM-4367) to go with the 12 casting rod. Please let us know if there is anything else we can assist you with.
For the type of fishing you are doing, I would recommend the 6.2:1 gear ratio. This will allow you to be able to get the fish off the bottom faster with more inches per turn of the handle. The size of the reel would be based on the rod you are looking to put it on. Please let us know if there is anything else we can assist you with.

With a shimano torium 20 or 30
Which is a better match?
Is there much of a size difference between the two?
Bottom/tuna
Would this reel be good for that? Would the mojo salt be a good pair?
