The Reel
Shimano shattered their targets and have built the Shimano Trinidad TN20A Reel for casting which all other reels will be measured by. Unbelievably compact compared with previous models, the latest generation of the venerable series excels at inshore and blue-water applications alike - just like you would expect from reels bearing the Trinidad name. It has all the latest Shimano technologies including an Ultra light weight cold-forged aluminium Magnumlite spool and one-piece side plate and frame both featuring Electronic Ionization (EI) surface treatment and chrome-plated screws for the kind of extreme corrosion protection you need in saltwater. Its eight shielded A-RB bearings ensure super-smooth performance while it its lightweight spool benefits from the Super Free (SF) system, encouraging ultra slick freespool.

The Trinidad A series of reels are rated for monofilament, fluorocarbon and PowerPro braided lines. High Efficiency Gearing (HEG) and X-Ship gear support system increases its efficiency power and overall smoothness. Along with being packed with features, the Shimano Trinidad A is an absolutely stunning looking reel in anodized silver with a eye-catching white and black handle configuration.

The Rod
The Shimano Grappler Type J B538 Overhead Jigging Rod features awesome newly designed blanks packed with high-end features like Spiral X and Hi-Power X, both of which are very rare for this price range. In addition to being light, strong and unwavering during fish fights, the Shimano Grappler Type J B538 Overhead Rod is equipped with double-footed MN guides and metal gimbals. This makes it an excellent rod for targeting big game fish.

Spiral X
Spiral X Construction consists of 3 layers - a blank made of vertical fibres, an inner layer, and an outer layer, both comprised 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 fighting fish. Through its exclusive lightweight structure, Shimano's Spiral X construction will definitely enhance 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, Hi-Power X construction delivers sharp and crisp rod control.
