The Shimano Torium A Jigging Special introduces two smart upgrades that deliver better control and faster hooksets for vertical jigging applications. Spool Lock technology and auto-engage clutch combine to create a reel designed specifically for the demands of serious jigging anglers targeting bottom fish and pelagics. The Spool Lock feature is a game-changer when you're hung up on structure. This innovative system prevents the spool from rotating, allowing anglers to apply torque to free snags without risking internal damage to the reel. When you're fishing deep wrecks, reefs, or rocky bottom where snags are inevitable, the Spool Lock lets you pull directly against the obstruction without putting stress on the gears and internal components. This feature extends the life of your reel and gives you the confidence to fish hard structure without worry. The auto-engage clutch delivers instant engagement from free spool for those subtle strikes on the drop. When you're dropping a jig to depth and a fish inhales it on the fall, simply turn the handle and the clutch instantly engages the reel so you can set the hook immediately. No fumbling with levers or switches-just hook and haul. This fast response time is critical for converting bites from amberjack, grouper, snapper, tuna, and other species that strike during the drop. Built with the durability and power needed for saltwater jigging, the Torium A Jigging Special handles the demands of deep water, heavy jigs, and powerful fish. The simple operation makes it easy to focus on working your jig and detecting bites rather than managing complicated reel controls. Whether you're vertical jigging for bottom fish on structure or working the water column for pelagics, the Shimano Torium A Jigging Special delivers the control and hookset speed needed to put more fish in the boat.
