The Shimano Tranx 300-400 Baitcast Reel is perfect for both freshwater and saltwater. This reel is a great choice no matter what fish you are targeting. This reel is ideal when you want to throw larger baits. Pairing that power with the smooth retrieve, you will be landing big fish in no time. Shimano has a new CoreProtect water-resistant technology that will provide extreme durability even in the harshest marine environments. Cross carbon drag gives the reel a wider range of drag settings, giving it the smoothest drag performance Shimano offers. This reel has an S3D Spool which significantly reduces the spool vibration. The balanced and uniform thin wall aluminum-constructed spool gives the reel a smooth feeling, allowing you to cast larger lures even further.
