SHIMANO ritė Tranx A 301 LH (left hand)

The Tranx is a large baitcasting reel designed with one purpose, to deliver power, and plenty of it. For the large lure specialist, fishing for large fresh water and inshore saltwater predators, the Tranx has no equal with its awesome winding torque and powerful multi-disc drag.
The Tranx is a special reel for the big boys and if that’s what you’re after you are going to love using it. Never again will you feel under-gunned and underpowered when using the largest crankbaits, outsized swimbaits, or anything else that’s large! Tranx actually feels quite compact in use, and the double handled 300A and 400A sizes run smoothly at 75cm of line per handle turn. For more speed the HGA option has a single power handle and retrieves 100cm per turn. Whichever you choose, when you need a reel to flex its muscles, you can rely on Tranx.
At over 300g, the Tranx isn’t a lightweight reel, but it doesn’t pretend to be. It’s a beast. The aluminium HAGANE Body is ultra tough, as is the X-SHIP technology within the gearing. Hook into a large fish and you immediately take control. With at least 8kg of stopping power, provided by the multi-disc drag, there’s only ever going to be one winner. Tranx uses Shimano’s reliable VBS braking system for casting, and combined with an aluminium S3D spool large lures fly through the air with ease. And for anglers wanting to use it for saltwater fishing, fear not, this powerhouse has Coreprotect for long lasting durability.

FEATURES

X SHIP
X SHIP provides improved gear durability. By supporting the pinion gear on both ends with bearings, the pinion gear maintains precise alignment with the drive gear. This increased support allows the gears to stay in the same position under the heaviest loads. X-Ship technology also eliminates the friction between the spool shaft and gear to further benefit anglers with enhanced casting performance and casting distance of lighter lures.

HAGANE BODY
The HAGANE Body is a metal reel body with high rigidity. The body rigidity and impact resistance virtually eliminate body flexing on the reel while fighting a fish. The result transforms the angler's actions directly into cranking power.

SVS
SVS use centrifugal force, rather than magnets, to aid in controlling the cast. When turned on, the individual brake weights are forced outward at the beginning of the cast.

CROSS CARBON DRAG
The CROSS CARBON DRAG provides the smooth drag release and the durability.

S3D
S3D SPOOL leads to significantly reduced spool vibration. This creates an smooth feeling when casting.

S A-RB
S A-RB bearings are put through the same process as Shimano’s A-RB bearings but feature shields on both sides of the bearings. These shields reduce the possibility of salt or sand inhibiting the rotation of the bearing.

SUPER FREE SPOOL
SUPER FREE SPOOL reduces friction on the spool shaft during the cast and enhances casting performance.
