Penn Torque Spinning Reel
Reviewed on November 21, 2009 by Davo from Australia

Sadly the reel disappointed on many points. The manual/automatic bail switch broke on the 3rd outing. The stated drag was not matched on the scales and spikes were common resulting in high stresses on the rod and terminal tackle. Twice I broke a ball bearing swivel (Sampo)yet the drag was set no where near the rating of the swivel. It is no where near as smooth as a Stella/Saltiga. A case of beauty is in the eye of the beholder but beneath the skin its butt ugly. Cmon Penn, get back to where you once were...

Penn may have a winner
Reviewed on October 1, 2009 by Fred from NJ

I just saw the Penn Torque at the dealer show in AC. It is a great feeling real. It also has a switch for auto or manual bail close. Another thing I really liked is the shaft is SS not titanium that if you hook a big fish it could bend when it gets hot like some other high end real. Time will tell.

Expensive but Nice
Reviewed on September 16, 2009 by Max from Pompano beach

this si a grade a reel, but be ready to spend the big bucks, the retail is going to be from 600-700 dollars, and if you think that it is worth it to be competing with the top dogs of the spinning reel competition, then go ahead, to be honest, everything about this reel is un necessary, but if you have the money, it does make a nice conversation piece, there are plenty of reels that will have the same feel for hundreds les, they may not be quite AS good, but for the money, you might as well buy two two hundred dollar reels with some nice rods and save your self the heart ache when you realise you spend 700 on a spinner.

Through the grapevine...

I heard that these were on display at the recent convention, but I could not make it. I am a loyal Penn user and have always wanted something a bit more high quality and looks like this might be the reel. Anyone know when this will hit retail stores?

Looks Great, but Pricey
Reviewed on July 23, 2009 by Matt H from New York

I got my hands on a torque spinner at ICast in Florida and they look great. Could be out of mosts price range, but will compete with some of the higher level reels available on the market.
