If you like the torsa, you should LOVE the SST. They are even MORE expensive! I have used both reels and both do a great job. I don't own either of them as I think the torsa is a little heavy and I prefer the Trinidads. I also prefer shifting my own gears, but only because I am old school. Go get one, but for jigging I would suggest the SST8 or SST12 only. Stay away from the larger ones. I used the 12 and it did cast well. I didn't like the articulated handle. You choose.
