Title: Has anyone used the Torque spinning yet?
Post by: Adrian Braun on July 17, 2011, 10:17:53 PM

I still have my eyes on a Torque 7 but waiting for reports by anyone who uses it for popping. Any idea how it fared in the wild?

Per Alan Hawk's review, the reel should be great with a tweak on the bail arm.  Simplicity in assembly and easy to service, may last many more years than the JDM's we all use and love.  Only time will tell.  Penn's history on reel longevity is terrific.
