Tranx 401 Shimano casting reel
Left handle
The Tranx is a powerful casting reel designed for one purpose: to deliver a lot of power. For big lure specialists, who fish for large freshwater and saltwater predators, the Tranx has no equal with its impressive winding torque and powerful multi-disc drag.
The Tranx is a special reel for big bait experts and if that's what you're looking for, you'll love using it. You'll never feel short of weapons and power again when using the biggest crankbaits, oversized swimbaits, or any other large object! The Tranx is actually quite compact in use, and the 300A and 400A double handle models work smoothly with 75 cm of line per handle turn. For more speed, the HGA option has a single power handle and retrieves 100 cm per turn. Whatever your choice, when you need a reel to show its muscles, you can count on Tranx.
At over 300 g, the Tranx is not a light reel, but it doesn't claim to be. It's a beast. The HAGANE aluminum body is ultra strong, as is the X-SHIP gear technology. Hook a big fish and you'll immediately take control. With a stopping power of at least 8 kg, provided by the multi-disc drag, there will only ever be one winner. The Tranx uses Shimano's reliable VBS braking system for casting, and combined with an S3D aluminum spool, big lures fly through the air with ease. And for anglers who want to use it for sea fishing, don't worry, it is equipped with Coreprotect for long-term durability.
