Advice on Colton Torrent

[Fabio65]

Hi,

 

I'm taking into consideration a purchase of a Colton Torrent T-1113 which looks a great alternative to double priced reels having (I suspect) anything more than the same quality...

 

Do the spool is screwed on the reel or it's a click-release?

 

Thanks anyone responding

The spool on the Torrent is quick release by turning the release nut counter clockwise 180*. Piece of cake.

 

Since I am rather partial I'll let the others comment on the quality

I have the reel and it is a gem. Beautifully made and top quality machining. The drag is smooth as can be with a large but unobtrusive knob. Very easy to find and adjust during a fight. The customer service is great and you can not beat the price.

I have the 8-10 model and it's a great reel--solidly built and a really nice drag.

I have two and i am very happy with them. The 12wt is a perfict reel for my two handed 9 weight

Thought you guys might like to see what we just made for Casting For Recovery

Nice! Better not let Tammy see it or you'll be making more.

I'm guessing you had to do a run. Is this for sale with portion of proceeds going to CFR?

Not for sale by me. I am giving a half dozen to CFR and they can do what they want with them. I don't want a penny from it and I don't want a tax write off. My mother is a breast cancer survivor so it's a personal thing for me. I also support our military every chance I get. Both causes are big in my book!

Nice! Good for you, we need more businesses in this country with that attitude.

Thanks everyone, thanks Foulhook.

 

I think a quick release is good enough.

 

I cannot understand why these reels are not present known in Italy... They looks and feel really good!

As if I needed another reason to buy a Colton reel. Now go make some switch and spey rods.
