Shimano Tranx Baitcasting Reel
The Tranx stands for strength and durability like no other in the baitcasting reel arena. Setting itself apart with its commanding level winding torque and formidable Cross Carbon Drag system, the Tranx reigns supreme. Offering versatility, it comes in standard gear ratios (5.8:1) for both left and right-handed anglers, alongside a High Gear left-hand option (7.6:1), ensuring every angler's needs are met with uncompromising authority.
Get ready to level up your game with the Tranx – it's not just any reel, it's the reel for big fish! Originally designed to fight the mighty American Muskie, this reel delivers a powerful punch when you need it the most. If you've been dreaming of tackling monster fish with confidence, check out the Tranx. Yet despite its powerhouse performance, the Tranx feels surprisingly sleek and compact in your hands. The double-handled 300 standard gear size effortlessly cranks 78cm of line with each handle turn. And if speed is your game, buckle up for the HG option – featuring a single power handle with a beefy knob that reels in a massive 103cm per turn! Whether you're craving power or speed, the Tranx delivers. So, when it's time to unleash the beast, relax and show the boys who's the big boss.
Power and Construction
The Tranx isn't your average lightweight baitcasting reel. Tipping the scales at just over 300g, it's built to be a powerhouse, not a featherweight. Crafted with an aluminum HAGANE Core Solid Body, it’s as tough as nails, complemented by the ultra-smooth MicroModule gearing. Hook a powerful fish and you're in command from the very start. Armed with a minimum of 8kg of stopping power courtesy of Shimano's top-notch Cross Carbon Drag system, victory is assured.
Precision Casting and Durability
For precision casting, the Tranx boasts Shimano’s SVS MD (MONSTER DRIVE) TUNE braking system, featuring internal brake adjustment along with an external dial. A synchronized level wind mechanism ensures that braided lines won't dig in on the aluminum S3D spool. And for those who venture into harsh conditions, the Tranx has the leading X-Protect technology, ensuring lasting durability against the elements.
