Power and versatility in one great combo
Ideal for the travelling fisho, the Shimano Torium 14 and
Backbone Travel Boat Combo strike the perfect balance
between quality, value and convenience. This set comes with the
heavy-duty and fast-acting Backbone Elite Travel Rod that’s
versatile and can be used for many different situations. Team it up
with the ruggedly built and feature-packed Shimano Torium 14
Overhead Reel and you have a combination that you can use
anywhere.
The Reel
The new Shimano Torium 14A HG Overhead Reel is
designed to provide a compact, rigid and powerful saltwater reel
with excellent castability and durability that you can expect in a
Shimano reel. It features a compact design using S-Concept body
that feels one size smaller in your hand and offers durability. The
B side sideplate (A side has the handle, drag adjustment and cast
control knob) is all one piece, contributing to both rigidity and
in-the-hand palming comfort.
E.I. Surface Treatment
E.I. improves corrosion resistance. With E.I. a second layer of
surface treatment is added after the anodising process. This
treatment is forced to any micro sized surface impurities, giving
salt no place to adgere and no chance for corrosion to start.
Cross Carbon Drag
Cross Carbon Drag gives the reel smoother and more durable drag
performance. The ideal material for the high drag pressure setting,
with smoothness and consistent performance.
HEG
HEG consists of not only the gears, but also the frame, setplate
and handle side-sideplate. First the size of the drive gear and
pinion gear are increased to offer increased leverage and
power.
Anti-Rust Bearings
A-RB are made of stainless steel that has been through the A-RB
process. At least 10 times more corrosion resistant than standard
stainless steel ball bearings. Easy maintenance no-shield design
allows for easy flushing of debris and easy lubrication. Increased
bearing speed-no shield design and lighter viscosity lubrication
reduce friction and allow the bearing to spin faster and
longer.
Super Stopper II
Super Stopper II anti-reverse uses a one-way bearing that
eliminates backplay. This provides the angler with instant
hooksetting power. In some reels, the Super Stopper II can be
turned off to allow backreeling for special techniques and
situations.
Dartainium Drag
Dartainium is a special drag material that provides a wide range of
drag settings and the smoothest performance on the market.

integrated graphite rod that makes transporting and storing much
