Shimano Torium PG Overhead Reel

Description

The Shimano Torium PG Overhead Reel series is a specialised variation of the popular Shimano Torium reels, engineered for anglers targeting large fish in deep-water jigging and bottom fishing scenarios. Unlike the faster retrieve Torium HG (High Gear) models, the Power Gear (PG) variants, including the Shimano Torium 16PG and Shimano Torium 20PG, feature a lower 4.6:1 gear ratio. This provides immense torque and cranking power, allowing you to effortlessly retrieve heavy jigs or pull powerful bottom dwellers like Hapuku, Bass, Snapper, and Kingfish from their structure.

The Shimano Torium PG retains all the premium features of the A-series Torium, ensuring exceptional durability and comfort. Its rigid Hagane Body and innovative S-Compact Body design make the reel feel surprisingly comfortable in your palm despite its immense power, offering superior control during intense fights.

Key Features

• Power Gear (PG) Ratio: The 4.6:1 gear ratio generates massive cranking power, making it easier to fight heavy fish from deep water without aggressively pumping the rod.

• Hagane Body: The highly rigid metal frame eliminates body flex, ensuring that 100% of your winding energy is transferred directly to the gears for maximum efficiency.

• S-Compact Body: Designed for ergonomic comfort, the handle-side plate is larger to house the gears, while the non-handle side is smaller to fit comfortably in your palm, offering better control during a fight.

• Cross Carbon Drag: Provides a smooth, wide range of drag settings capable of outputting up to 15kg (33lb) of pressure, essential for stopping powerful Kingfish and other large species.

• E.I. Surface Treatment: An advanced anti-corrosion treatment applied to the spool and body, offering superior protection against saltwater damage compared to standard anodising.
