Shimano Torium 16PG And Vortex OH Mechanical Jigging Combo With Braid 5ft 5in 15-24kg 1pc

Solidly built and packed with muscle where it counts

The Shimano Torium 16PG and Vortex OH Mechanical Jigging Combo is one tough combo that strikes the perfect balance between quality and value. It comes with the heavy-duty and fast-acting Vortex Rod that’s loaded with power. Team it up with the uber-smooth and feature-packed Shimano Torium 16PG overhead reel and you get a combination that will land you your next big catch.

The Reel
The lightweight Shimano Torium 16PG Overhead Reel is a solidly-built star-drag saltwater reel perfect for live bait or bottom-fishing applications. It’s packed with features like Super Stopper, Cross Carbon Drag, Anti Rust Bearings and High Efficiency Gearing.

Hagane Body
The incorporation of Hagane Body provides this reel with a rigid yet highly durable outer shell that is free from body flexing, this transforms the angler’s actions directly into cranking power when under load.

A-RB
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.

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.

CF Aluminium Cold Forged Spool
These spools provide increased strength and durability over diecast aluminium or graphite spools.

High Efficiency Gearing
HEG consists of not only the gears, but also the frame, setplate, and handle-side sideplate. First we 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 setplate and adding a one-piece stamped sideplate, it eliminates the flex in the drive train that causes gears to bind under pressure.

The Rod
The Shimano Vortex Overhead Rod features a Power-Carbon blank specially designed to take the knocks, with an integrated glass tip that retains sensitivity from the bite to the fit. With its enhanced overall performance without compromise, you can take full advantage of more traditional bait fishing techniques. It’s the perfect match for the Shimano Baitrunner series.

The Line
The Shimano Kairiki 8 Multi-Colour Braid is smooth, supple and sensitive. It creates less friction through the guides, minimising cast noise and aids to a stealthier approach. And what’s more the tight weave achieves enhanced sensitivity, resulting in low stretch. These attributes make Kairiki 8 an excellent choice for finesse fishing, casting lures and tying knots where smoothness, sensitivity and castability are all required to give that extra edge against your next encounter. Plus, it’s also available in bulk – ideal for re-spooling multiple reels, maximising your reel’s capacity with no waste.

VT Construction Method
Featuring 8 carriers and incorporating premium Japanese manufacturing, the new tight weave VT construction is created through applying high tension at opposing directions during the braiding process. In the VT Construction Method, fibre is weaved evenly at all angles – resulting in a smoother finish, reduced diameter and a long cast.
