SHIMANO TRANX

$289.99 $355.00

When it comes to robust saltwater-resistant baitcast reels, the Shimano Tranx stands out as a leader in its category.

The Tranx reel integrates Shimano’s CoreProtect technology, which ensures a smooth and friction-free experience during retrieval. This feature is particularly advantageous for both freshwater and saltwater applications, whether you’re engaged in light jigging, using soft plastic lures, or casting hard body lures.

Designed to fit comfortably in the hand, the Tranx reels are engineered with ample drag capacity and exceptional saltwater durability. This combination makes them well-suited for tackling a wide range of fishing scenarios, from battling aggressive inshore species to targeting offshore giants.

In summary, the Shimano Tranx reel excels in providing anglers with superior performance, durability, and comfort, making it a preferred choice for those seeking a high-quality baitcast reel capable of handling tough saltwater conditions with ease.

PRODUCT TECHNOLOGIES:

HAGANE BODY

The HAGANE Body is produced from highrigidity aluminum or magnesium. This creates stiffness and impact resistance, while at the same time eliminating flexing of the body. The result is a rocksolid housing and support for the moving internal gearing and greater efficiency throughout the reel.

COREPROTECT

CoreProtect prevents water entering the body, from under the rotor at the front of the body, and also into the Roller Bearing unit.

S ARB

Shimano S ARB bearings are high corrosion resistant ARS ball bearings with an extra shield for improved protection against sand, salt or dust.

SUPER FREE SPOOL

The Super Free bearing supported pinion gear system (SF) was designed to eliminate friction on the shaft during the cast. In standard baitcasting reels, when the clutch bar is pressed down, the pinion gear is freed and can actually drag on the spool shaft, creating friction and limiting the length of the cast. With SF, the pinion gear is supported by a ball bearing, and when the clutch is disengaged the pinion gear and spool shaft are kept in precise alignment. The result is zero friction on the spool shaft for increased freespool. 

VBS

VBS uses centrifugal force rather than magnets to aid controlling the cast. The individual brake weights, when turned on, are forced outward at the beginning of the cast when backlashes most often occur, causing friction that reduces the speed of the spool. Once the spool speed begins to slow, the pressure lessens, allowing the spool to continue spinning. The result is a much more consistent spool speed that is easier to manage and takes advantage of the reel's maximum casting distance.

XSHIP

XShip is a combination of features that work together to create much greater efficiency. By positioning the pinion gear close to the center line of the large diameter drive gear, more power is transferred from the handle to the rotor. The pinion gear is also supported by two Shimano ARS roller bearings. This creates more stability.

S3D SPOOL

Shimano's S3D technology leads to significantly reduced spool vibration. By designing a balanced and uninform thin wall aluminum constructed spool, S3D creates an incredibly smooth feeling when casting and retrieving lures.

CROSS CARBON DRAG

This carbon drag material provides a wider range of drag settings, along with the smoothest Shimano drag performance ever.
