Shimano Tranx Baitcasting Reel
(Model: 200HGA)

Product Description

Features

• Hagane Body: The reel uses Shimano's HAGANE metal body frame which provides high rigidity and resists flexing under load - especially important when fighting fish
• CoreProtect technology: A protective coating applied to critical areas to help repel water intrusion and improve durability in saltwater environments
• Cross Carbon Drag: A carbonbased drag system that provides smooth drag performance and durability
• SVS Infinity Braking / S3D Spool / S A-RB Bearings: These technologies improve casting control (especially with lighter lures), reduce spool vibration, and protect bearings from salt/sand

Shimano built the Tranx 200 to withstand the harshest saltwater environments. After a decade-long corrosion study, Shimano developed a reel concept that will deliver long-lasting durability and performance for inshore anglers around the world.

HAGANE Body Baitcasting: The HAGANE Body is a metal reel body with high rigidity. The body rigidity and impact resistance virtually eliminates body flexing on the reel while fighting fish. The result transforms the angler's action directly into cranking power, increasing efficiency through strength.

SVS Infinity: Shimano's newest innovation in brake system technology, SVS Infinity, provides easy-to-manage, consistent spool control and break force. With brake weights that use inner friction against the raceway during the cast, SVS Infinity controls spool speed for precision casting, especially when using lighter lures. The external adjustment knob provided for quick, and precise adjustments when anglers need to adjust to the conditions or when they switch baits

Cross Carbon Drag Baitcasting: The Cross Carbon Drag material provides a wider range of drag settings compared to traditional drag materials. The Cross Carbon Drag provides the smoothest Shimano drag performance ever while providing anglers with increased durability.

S3D Spool: S3D technology leads to significantly reduced spool vibration. By designing and constructing a balanced and uniform thin-wall aluminum spool, S3D creates an incredibly smooth feeling when casting and retrieving lures.

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 rotation of the bearing.

Super Free Spool: Super Free Spool eliminates friction on the spool shaft during the cast. Standard baitcasting reels are constructed in a way that when the clutch bar is pressed down, the pinion gear is freed and can actually drag on the spool shaft. This creates friction that can limit the length of a cast. But baitcasting reels with Super Free Spool are constructed so that the pinion gear is supported by a ball bearing. When the clutch is disengaged in preparation for a cast, the pinion gear and spool shaft are kept in perfect alignment. The result: zero friction is placed upon the spool shaft and enhances casting performance.
