Tranx 401A HG Baitcaster

The baitcaster for large baits and fish!

The all-new Shimano Tranx was designed "as a workhorse for big fish." This heavy duty low profile baitcaster is unique in Shimano's European range. Strong, durable and reliable, it is the ideal companion in both fresh and salt water.

These types of reels are usually used when fishing with large baits for strong fish. The Tranx was developed for exactly this purpose. At 340 g, it is certainly not one of the lightweights, but it is still lighter than comparable reels on the European market and significantly cheaper.

Whether in freshwater with jerkbaits, wobblers, spinnerbaits or rubber baits weighing more than 100 g for pike, or for jigging and live bait for strong saltwater fish - the Tranx is made for it!

The Shimano Tranx A was equipped with the Coreprotect system. Coreprotect prevents water from penetrating the housing, the front of the housing or the roller bearing unit. The concept is simple: Coreprotect promotes silky-smooth running - even if the roller is extremely water-resistant.

There are 3 reel components that require special protection: the brake, the housing and the line roller. The brake: This is the trickiest part when it comes to water resistance and performance. In order to achieve the water resistance of the brake without endangering the silky smooth running of the reel, a surface treatment was used that allows water to roll off the outside.

The housing: to protect the housing, Coreprotect uses various seals and a special surface treatment. Anti-reverse has been omitted to increase protection.
