The Abu max x is a 100 size reel and the torrents are 150 to 200 size reels that's the main difference in spool size and palmablity size. The original torrent surprised me with how durable it is and how well it actually casted for the cheap price. I've caught back to back to back 7 to 9lb striper in heavy current trying to see of it would break but held up nicely. I've fished it 3 years but have retired it now and it still works very well. This torrent 2 is actually on my test list for future testing. I have a phantom, alijoz 300, alloy m, captian spinning and the flame all have been solid in their price ranges and some hit way above their price range. I actually recommend piscifun reels over abu and lews bottom budget reels sometimes lol. I don't use carbon frames on a day to day anymore but will test reels to give recommendations to those that do.
@@3thingsfishing427 no its not its on the black max frame and build to be exact it I'd a black max 3 lol it just had some changes to external looks and name. I own 3 or 4 of them and they are 100% a 100 size reel not 200. They don't even have the same capacity as a 150 size reel so there's no way to even be thought as a 200 size reel.
I appreciate the videos on budget reels. Some folks write em off but a lot of people use them and there are a few stand outs in the sub-$100 range
I have a torrent, 2
Alijoz 300s and a Carbon X. I'm happy with them.
Most of my reels are on the budget end and it’s def my favorite of the sub $100 reels I own.

Pissyfun make some solid reels for cheap. No doubt
Hello I have 100 size .14 mm 9 strand 15lb braid casting 25g greater distance than 1514 Japanese zillion same rod and line .so the torrent 2 can do it
Looking for the test... what's the point of a video with the same info as on the website?
is smooth on retrieve under pression?
I own a Phantom and carbon xcs from Piscifun. LOVE those reels. Will order this for sure tomorrow morning in green.
I have two Torrents. They have been good reels.
I bought the black Torrent II this summer.
Hope to see the reel in action soon...
I returned 2 of them
The 200 size is significantly better
Magnetic brakes not for me😊
Søren Kierkegaard would disagree with you I think.
Aight, but what does Ja Rule think about this though?
I have the original torrent reel I even have a shallow spool for it
Do you know if that shallow spool will fit torrent 2 ?
