Torque I think is what your looking at   Good reels... light weight good drag, Torsa better but costly.

for an extra 100 bucks, you could get a Shimano Trinidad... way better IMHO.

The handle rattles and they dont seem solid. Other then that they seem ok. Go with Shimano

Shimano Trinidad... has the star drag, just like the Torque.

i personally wouldn't want a lever drag (like a torsa) on a jigging rod... all it takes is one little tap on that drag and it's locked down and the line pops.
