So I placed my order in about a month ago for the new Torium which finally came in last week! Then I scored on a Trini from a guy on BD who didn't have cash to get a cpl custom rods built. So we bartered! I'm taking the Torium jigging next weekend. I can't wait!

I already upgraded the handle on it. Swapped out the silver one for a black one with a Eva power knob.

Jeff, have you had a chance, or has anyone had a chance to fish the new torium? Anyone hook a fish on it yet as well?

Doing some vertical jigging with it? Or yo yo jigging? I'd match it up with a trevala f jigging rod for either vertical or yoyo jigging.

Looks badass, I have the older model Torium and you've got me thinking.

I was bed written over the weekend, hoping to get out this weekend however. I have it paired with a custom Trevela I rewrapped. I'm hoping all goes well and I can score some bites with it this weekend on Hvy jig.

I took out my new Torium 16 out for a spin last Saturday on a overnight to San Clemente. I spooled it with 360yards of izor 50lbs white braid with 38 yards of 40lbs clear pline on top. Mated it with calstar 800M
Fish were mostly 10-20lbs and it worked awesome for jigging salas 6x jr and heavy. Plenty of drag and power however one thing I would improve would be better handle. Both my friend and I got nasty bloody blister on the same finger
Using Torium. Other than that it was a great jigging reel. No need to worry about line management due to its narrow spool.

JeffB,
What kind of handle is that and where did you get it?
Actually a little arm and a t handle would be a real good improvement

Thank you!
Is that new handle longer than the original Torium handle? The new Torium sure can use little more torque.

Great looking reels and future fish killing machines to add in your arsenal.
