Cod Reel
What's a good reel that they still actually make for mid-range cod wrecks. Not looking to spend a lot. I have a Squall and a cheap star drag reel. Want to stay with the star drag and lever to free spool.
I was told Penn 320GTI but can't find one. Was told a Finn Nor, can't find one. Meat Hunter "Get on the MEAT, stay on the MEAT, and Fry the MEAT!" |

Re: Cod Reel
The new Shimano Torium 16HG is hard to beat for under $200. It lists for a little over $200, but most shops are doing XMAS deals right now so you shouldn't have a problem finding for a good price.

Re: Cod Reel
Torium. The new ones are sweet. Much more compact, butter smooth....

Re: Cod Reel
There's only one thing stopping me from buying that Torium like right now. I've had several Shimano's over the years, they stop making the parts after like 5 or 6 years. It's a money game with them, the rods that I've had were high priced junk. I read the specks on the reel and it's got 25 lbs of drag. I think that's what I needed yesterday.
Does anyone have any experience with the Okuma star drag reels? Meat Hunter |

Re: Cod Reel
Go with the Torium and don't look back, I would personally avoid the Okuma. But that's me. The new Toriums just came out so they will be in production for a long time to come. I know a few buddies with them and they have been trouble free so far (knock on wood, lol).
