Shimano Torium 16A HG – TOR-16HGA

The Lightweight Shimano Torium 16A HG is a solidly-built star-drag saltwater reel perfect for live bait or bottom-fishing applications. Packed with features like Super Stopper, Cross Carbon Drag, A-RB (Anti-Rust Bearings) and High Efficiency Gearing (HEG), the Torium has it where it counts.

The Shimano Torium 16A HG makes a powerful boat reel which can be coupled with a 20/30lb class rod to make a perfect outfit for drifting on general bottom fishing.

Hagane Body
The HAGANE Body is a metal reel body with high rigidity. The body stiffness and impact resistance virtually eliminates body flexing. The result transforms the angler’s actions directly into cranking power. It’s efficiency through strength.

Super Stopper
Super Stopper anti-reverse uses a one-way stainless steel roller bearing that eliminates back-play. This provides the angler with instant hook setting power.

HEGM
HEG consists of not only the gears, but also the frame, back-plate, and handle-side side plate. First Shimano 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 back-plate and adding a one-piece stamped side plate, they have eliminated flex in the drive train that causes gears to bind under pressure.

ARB
These stainless steel ball bearings are specially treated to drastically increase the corrosion resistance of the bearing. These bearings will last at least 10 times longer than standard stainless steel ball bearings in high salinity environments.

CF Aluminium Cold Forge Spool

These spools provide increased strength and durability over diecast aluminium or graphite spools.

Metal Series
The metal construction showcased in some of Shimano’s finest reels now appears throughout all of Shimano’s 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
