Sea Fishing Tackle Review: The Shimano Torium 14 Reel

The other day, as I was out sea fishing, it came to my attention how incredibly lucky we are here in the UK to have such an abundant availability of good fishing tackle. While there are so many rivers, inland lakes and streams, fishing in the ocean is my favourite choice. I do have to confess that when I’m out in my little boat, I feel a tremendous affinity with all the other anglers who have fished in our waters literally for millennia. That being said, I want to give some info to my fellow fisherman about a fantastic item of sea fishing tackle I’ve recently acquired: the Shimano Torium 14 reel.

Sea Fishing Tackle: Major Facets of the Shimano Torium 14 Reel

This particular fishing reel is one of a fresh line of reels from industry front runner, Shimano. It’s a high speed multiplier reel that’s ideal for boat fishing, which I particularly enjoy. One element that caught my attention straight away was that it had a single piece aluminium frame which gives remarkable solidity to the layout. This Torium 14 has got a flexible handle which will give you all the power you will need whenever you are in the middle of an exciting battle. I have discovered that this reel functions remarkably in foul weather conditions; therefore I always carry it when the weather is not perfect.

Sea Fishing Tackle: Further Details Concerning the Shimano Torium 14 Reel

This Torium 14 will, in all probability, go above and beyond the demands of even highly accomplished fishermen. I truly appreciate its centrifugal braking system. It is equipped with all the aspects I require; this includes the star drag, adjustable clicker, Super Stopper system, and also three rust deterrent ball bearings. The Super Stopper system was new to me, so I looked up some details on it. I have found that it is a distinctive aspect of the Shimano reel and that it is an immediate anti-reverse system which removes the handle’s playback. The result? Instant hook setting power from an exceptionally well appointed piece of fishing tackle that’s clearly built to extremely tight tolerances to ensure maximum power, durability, and performance.

Sea Fishing Tackle: Final Thoughts on the Torium 14

The Torium 14 has a feature called HEG, which stands for “high efficiency gearing.” HEG supplies a very fast retrieve along with an exceptional quantity of torque. Examining the reel’s features more carefully, I observed that the ergonomic Septom power handle has got a secure grip no matter if it is dry or wet. In addition, the reel has 2 specially treated A-RB anti-rust bearings that are proven to resist corrosion more than 10 times better than standard bearings. Shimano’s engineers made sure to cover every aspect of the reel, including its drag washers which are created from a proprietary substance to guarantee the reel’s trustworthiness. At last, the precision click star drag lets me regulate its drag in measured increments.

For the very best in sea fishing tackle, I highly advocate the Shimano Torium 14 reel. My score? 4.5 of a potential 5.0 stars.
