TORIUM

Super stopper: super stopper uses a one-way, stainless steel roller bearing that eliminates back play. This provides the angler with instant hook setting power. High efficiency gearing (heg): heg consists of not only the gears, but also the frame, set plate, and handle-side side plate. First we increased the size of the drive gear and the pinion gear to offer increased leverage and power. By using a one-piece frame that incorporates the set plate and adding a one-piece stamped side plate, we have eliminated Flex in the drivetrain that causes normal gears to bind under pressure. By eliminating the Flex and increasing the leverage, we are able to provide high-speed retrieves and deliver an incredible amount of torque, while maintaining the smooth, silent retrieve Shimano reels are famous for. A-rb: a-rb bearings are stainless steel ball bearings that have been through the a-rb treatment process which makes them at least 10 times more corrosion resistant than standard stainless steel ball bearings. Metal Series: the metal construction showcased in some of our finest reels now appears throughout our line of metal Series products. Metal frames not only keep moving parts in precise alignment, they also feature the use of the latest Anodizing, plating and painting techniques for beautiful and durable finishes.
