Shimano Torium

The Shimano Torium is a compact, powerful star drag conventional reel built for demanding saltwater fishing. The 16, 20, and 30 sizes give anglers a useful range of line capacities for bottom fishing, jigging, chunking, and general Northeast boat fishing.

Shimano uses a rigid HAGANE Body to reduce flex under load, while S-Compact Body construction keeps the reel comfortable in hand. Cross Carbon Drag provides smooth, consistent drag pressure, and S A-RB shielded bearings help protect against salt and debris. Super Free Spool reduces friction during casting and freespool operation.

Size Options

Torium 16
A compact all-around size with plenty of capacity for jigging, bottom fishing, and general inshore/offshore use.

Torium 20
Adds line capacity while keeping the same compact feel, making it a versatile choice for deeper water, heavier braid, and larger fish.

Torium 30
The highest-capacity option of the group, well suited for deeper water, heavier line, chunking, and applications where extra capacity matters.

The HG 16, 20, and 30 models use a 6.2:1 gear ratio, produce up to 24 lb of drag, and retrieve approximately 46 inches of line per crank. Shimano currently lists both right- and left-hand HG versions of these sizes.
