I like 80 PP.

I found that I dropped many fish when using a Torium... I think the high speed retrieve attributted to this. I switched to a Saltist T (4.9:1) and haven't had the problem since. Like George said, slow and steady works best for me.

The high retrieve is great for burning in a jig once you've scoped out, but I don't like it for fighting fish. If you're patient though (which I'm not) then I'm sure the high speed will be fine. I've seen some sharpies slay fish on a Torium.

A two speed is ideal, but much more $$$...
