It features CoreProtect Concept, X-Ship and Hagane Body, which means this reel is ergonomic, packs more than enough drag, is solidly built and sets the bar in the field of water resistance. The reel is paired with a Shimano Backbone Overhead Slow Jig Rod which is designed with slow jigging in mind. Its soft tip will help give your slow jig the best movement possible, enticing Snapper and other hungry fish.

The Reel
The Shimano Tranx 400A Baitcaster Reel is the next level in saltwater-proof baitcaster reels. It features the CoreProtect Concept, which means the Tranx range has greatly improved water resistance while still maintaining a "free" feel when winding. This reel is ideally suited to most baitcasting applications, like soft-baiting, light jigging and casting small and medium-sized Shimano stick-baits. The Shimano Tranx baitcaster reels are ergonomic in the hand, pack more than enough drag, are built sold and have set the bar in the field of water resistance.

X-ship
By supporting the pinion gear on both ends with Shimano's S-ARB bearings and integrating a bigger drive gear, this reel has increased gearing efficiency and power. You get a fishing reel with ultra-light handle rotation, needing less effort and power, which results in perfect rotation even under heavy loads.

HAGANE Body
HAGANE Body means this reel has a high rigidity and zero twist. The body stiffness and impact resistance virtually eliminates body flexing. The result transforms the anglers actions directly into cranking power. It's efficiency through strength.

For a baitcaster reel that holds its own in the water, definitely try out the Shimano Tranx 400A Baitcaster Reel!

The Rod
The favourite Backbone series of rods just got an overhaul. The new Shimano Backbone Overhead Slow Jig Rod is now stronger than ever, with a higher quality blank, good quality componentry and a new slick design that is bound to please.

Graphite Blank
Utilising high quality graphite sheets rolled on custom designed mandrels, a sensitive yet extremely lightweight performance fishing blank is created.

Graphite Composite
Rod blanks combining both graphite and fibreglass materials in a particular manner can create a blank with characteristics that are best of both worlds, making a rod that has fibreglass robustness with the power of graphite.
