Torque™ Spinning Reel Product Review by PENN®

[gigi0812]

Thank you. I do a lot of rock hopping, surf casting and some skishing. I wonder how well would the torque take the abuse of being dunked and scraped against rocks. Does Penn offer some sort of warranty or servicing program?

[PENNfishing]

@gigi0812 We do. The reel is covered under a 1 year warranty which details can be found on our website. Surf casters journal did a review of the Torque at which can be found on our YouTube channel under our favorites

Hi, I'm thinking about getting the bailess Penn for stripers here in long island, new York . I own a few Zeebaas and VS reels and I would like to get your opinion on witch torque would be more appropriate for a St. Croix Mojo 10.6- 3/4 to 4 Oz. Thx

@gigi0812 Thanks for the question. You'll probably want the small Torque 5 if you're fishing plugs and casting often. But the 7 will also work if you prefer more line capacity.  You might also want to look at our Legion series of rods to pair it up with the 15-30lb mono in 7'0 and 7'6". These just hit the market and have been very well received by anglers fishing them.

which touque whould you recomend for on

[PENNfishing]

@tonyel120 It looks like your message was cut off. What species, location and technique are you using? That will help us provide a recommendation.

[tonyel120]

@PENNfishing which torque whould you use for tarpon

[PENNfishing]

@tonyel120 You could use any size (5,7 or 9) depending on the technique but a good all around size is the 7.

damn that is a sexy reel

[djlyric]

is this lighter then a van staal?

[PENNfishing]

@djlyric The Torque is just a bit heavier because we put larger gears for added strength and a powerful HT-100 Versa-Drag system.

When will the Penn Torque bail-less versions be available?

[PENNfishing]

@MassFisher The bailless models should be available sometime in July 2011.

thats what i thought,i was thinking about buying one



[broxcen909]

what about the bailess one,how do you cast it???....or you have to buy the bail set???

[PENNfishing]

@broxcen909 There are actually bailless models, it is not a kit that is sold separately. You cast by holding the line on your index finger just like a regular spinning reel. Then feed the line on to the arm when you are ready to retrieve.

[PENNfishing]

It sure is. The manual bail trip was designed to eliminate the bail closing and breaking the bait off while casting.

looks like a good surf reel
