View Full Version : Shimano Torium 30 - Anti-Reverse????

I just bought a Torium 30. The very 1st trip using this brand new reel, I set the hook on a rather large fish, upon setting the hook or shall I say during the hookset, the anti-reverse kicked out and sent the handle flying backwards knocking the heck out of my hand. I still caught fish on it, but still feared the anti-reverse. This happened a couple more times and has me scarred to use the reel.

Would this be a warrenty piece?? Is there an upgrade I can buy??? I love the reel and want to keep it. I really do not want to send it off for repairs, especially with $60.00 worth of power pro on it??

Can I get a little help???

Thanks, Tiny......

We can repair that for you and we will not disturb your Power Pro line. it sounds like the bearing has too much grease or just a bad bearing our of the box (these things happen sometimes :( ) We will repair the reel at no charge and get it back to you. Send the reel to my attention and I will have it turned around ASAP.

If it makes you feel better, I own two and have not had any problems. Fishing with 80lb Power Pro.

Bantam, I am very impressed with your response, but how long will it take?? I never know when I can go fishin' and that is the only reel of that caliber I own. (for now)

I do have other reels and such, but that Tor 30 is just Sweet.. and I would hate to be without it too long.

Send the reel to my attention and I will have it turned around in a day or two. The shipping time will be the only delay coming from you to us. I can send the reel back in a short time so you can get back on the water.

Ok!! I asked the boss (my wife) about fishing offshore Friday, She said no, so I will have her ship it to you tomorrow..

Thanks, Tiny

I just bought a Torium 30 as well and have not had this problem. I used it offshore and caught several snappers and a king on it. Love the reel and the assist stop feature. sorry about your problem but great service from Shimano. just my 2 cents.

I upgraded my side plate, drag plate and shaft with the Shimano upgrade along with Carbon-Tex drag washers. My worry is that the anti-reverse pawl will break if I apply too much drag. What other parts besides the Torium 30 are compatible with this reel? I want stronger anti-reverse.

The package is in the mail!!!
I sent my reel out to you yesturday at 3:30. You should have it Thursday. If I could get it back by July 10th, that would be perfect..

Thanks Again..

Problem With Reel; Anti-Reverse occasionally disengages while setting the hook on a good fish and sometimes during the fight...
