Shimano Tranx 200A-HG Baitcast and Grappler Type J B631 Light Jig Combo 6ft 3in PE1.5 2pc

Supreme casting performance

The Shimano Tranx 200A-HG Baitcast and Grappler Type J B631 Light Jig Combo is specially designed to handle the rigours of modern baitcasting. The Shimano Tranx 200A-HG reel's components ensure superior casting while the new Grappler rod takes comfort and performance to a whole new level.

The Reel
The Shimano Tranx 200A-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 bullet proof performance in all conditions.

AHG Features
Appealing to a range of fishing styles, the AHG models come fitted with a double paddle handle. 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 200A-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 diengaged the pinion gear and spool shaft are kept in precise alignment. The result is zero frictoon on the spool shaft for increased freespool.

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

VBS
VBS uses centrifugal forfce 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 Grappler Type J B631 Light Jig Overhead Rod is sure to help you tackle your most powerful ocean foes. Representing the next evolution of this highly popular offshore jigging series. It features both Spiral X and Hi-Power X blank construction, and has been tested in the harshest of offshore environments around the world. Spiral X and Hi-Power X increase the strength to twisting and reduces power loss during jerking and fighting. Rod action is versatile to adapt to different jigging rhythms. Enjoy a better fishing experience with the Shimano Grappler Type J B631 Light Jig Overhead Rod's power, response and control.

Spiral X
Spiral X construction consists of three layers: a blank made of vertical fibres, an inner layer and an outer layer, both comprising of carbon tape that tightly winds the blank diagonally in opposite directions. By using this carbon tape in place of a conventional horizontal fibre sheet, Spiral X achieves enhanced torsional rigidity without adding extra weight. This in turn facilitates instant power transmission for precise casting and for fighting fish. Through its exclusive lightweight structure, Shimano's Spiral X construction enhances your "catching power".

Hi-Power X
In Hi-Power X construction, the blank's outermost layer is diagonally wrapped with carbon tape, which forms an array of X shapes. The width of the tape, its winding angle and the part of the rod being wrapped are fine-tuned according to the target fish species. The flexibility allows Shimano to adjust these wraps during construction for precise actions, enhanced overall strength and added twist resistance. In short, H-Power X construction delivers sharp and crisp rod control.
