Featured packed boat combo
The Shimano Torium 16A HG Vortex Boat Combo is one tough combo that strikes the perfect balance
between quality and value. It comes with the heavy-duty and
fast-acting Shimano Vortex Boat Rod that’s loaded with power. Team
it up with the uber-smooth and feature-packed Shimano Torium 16A HG
reel and you get a combination that will land you your next big
catch.
The Reel
A reel designed to give you an exceptional casting performance, the
Shimano Torium 16A HG Overhead Reel 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.
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
A-RB (Anti-Rust Bearings)
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.
High Efficiency Gearing (HEG)
HEG consists of not only the gears, but also the frame, set plate,
and handle-side side plate. 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 set plate and adding
a one-piece stamped side plate, you don’t need to worry about your
gears binding under pressure.
S-Compact body
Power, rigidity, durability. A key element the the new Torium
reels, the S-Concept body results in a reel that feels one size
smaller in your hand! The B-sideplate (A-side has the handle, drag
adjustment and cast control knob) is all one-piece, contributing to
both rigidity and in-the-hand palming comfort.
CF Aluminium Cold Forge Spool
These spools provide increased strength and durability over die
cast aluminium or graphite spools.
Dartanium drag material
Dartanium is a special drag material that provides a wider range of
drag settings and the smoothest performance on the market.
The Rod
The team at Shimano Fishing NZ have developed a dynamic and
versatile series of rods that has been designed to handle the
toughest fishing conditions. The Shimano Vortex Overhead
Boat Rod features a Power-Carbon blank specially designed
to take the knocks, an integrated glass tip so as to retain
sensitivity from the bite to the fight and also enhance overall
performance without compromise. These features allow you to take
full advantage of the more traditional bait fishing techniques.
This rod is ideal for straylining with overhead reels and deploying
baits in to the benthos for Hapuka and the like.
