The Reel
The Shimano Tranx 400A-HG Baitcast Reel comes from
the Shimano Tranx range, which is the next level in saltwater
proofed baitcaster reels. These reels are designed to go toe-to-toe
with the toughest saltwater and freshwater predators, having been
resized and spec’d up to meet the growing demands of fishos looking
for the next generation in saltwater baitcasters. Especially for
Kiwis, the Tranx is perfectly suited to inshore jigging and lure
casting to pelagics and freshwater species alike.

Hagane Body
The incorporation of Hagane Body provides the Tranx with a rigid
yet highly durable outer shell that is free from body flexing, this
transforms the angler’s actions directly into cranking power when
under load.

HEG
Additionally, High Efficiency Gearing (HEG) leverages an enlarged
drive and pinion gear that is further supported by X-Ship for the
ultimate in smooth operation.

X-Ship
X-Ship is a combination of features that work together to create
much greater efficiency. By positioning the pinion gear closest to
the centre 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 ARB roller bearings, creating more
stability.

S3D Spool
Shimano’s S3Da technology leads to significantly reduced spool
vibration. By designing a balanced and uniform thin wall aluminium
constructed spool, S3D creates an incredibly smooth feeling when
casting and retrieving lures.

CoreProtect
Providing unrivalled saltwater protection is CoreProtect, this
unique Shimano technology involves the application of a hydrophobic
spray to key areas of the reel – ensuring bulletproof performance
in all conditions.

AHG Features
Appealing to a range of fishing styles, the AHG models come fitted
with a Power Knob. Maintaining all of the tough-as-nails attributes
that have earned its larger predecessors a reputation for
reliability in the saltwater market, the new Shimano Tranx
400A-HG Baitcast Reel sets-the-bar in-terms of raw power
and performance.

Super Free Spool
The Super Free bearing supported pinion gear system (SF) was
designed to eliminate friction on the spool shaft during the cast.
In standard baitcasting reels, when the clutch bar is pressed down
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 free spool.

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

VBS
VBS uses centrifugal force rather than magnets to aid controlling
the cast. The individual break 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.

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

The Rod
The Shimano Backbone Elite Overhead Slow Pitch Rod
continues Shimano’s dedication to producing superb quality rods.
This rod is built on exceptionally high-quality composite blanks.
It’s a heavy duty and fast acting rod, finished with top quality
guides and bindings.

Perfectly balanced between power and sensitivity this rod is suited
for many different applications. Whether you are bait fishing or
wanting to use it with slow jigs and soft baits it will be a breeze
no matter how you choose to use it. Team it up with a small
overhead reel and you will have a combination you can use for
practically anything.
