Fish On! And Up Quickly!
By Mugs Stump
The Shimano Tor20/TVC66MH High Speed Reel is an amazing reel--with the 6.2:1 ratio, you can pull up a halibut from 300 feet in about half the time your buddy is reeling in his fish at 3:1 or 4:1 (labeled high speed by some companies). I know--my friend has had the Tor 20 for about 3 years, and I finally got tired of seeing him whip the fish up while I reeled and reeled and reeled. While I haven't yet used my new reel, I used my buddy's Tor 20 enough times to make me a believer--and make me order one (I own another Shimano reel, a great reel, but with a ratio of 4:1, the Tor 20 leaves me way behind). He's pulled up 70 lb halibut, ling cod, pacific cod, rock fish, etc. with no problems. The reel has been flawless. He even lost it--a halibut whipped the reel and rod out of his hands and into the sea it disappeared. He literally cried. When I reeled my own fish up, his line was stuck on mine, and we retrieved the rod and reel--and he still caught the fish! You would never know the reel took a serious dunk in the ocean. Rinsed it off and kept on fishing. Still perfect condition. Can't wait to get my new one in the water, hopefully this weekend. Fish on!

Smooth and fast
By fishrick
Use it for boat fishing striped bass in long island sound from boat. Very smooth, lots of power, handle very comfortable. Paired with a 6-1/2 foot rod rated for 20-40lb, gives you a good feel for feathering the bottom in 20-140feet of water. Power and speed comes in handy when using heavy sinkers up to 20oz. on 65lb braid. Thumbs up on this baby.
