The Shimano TRANX is regarded as the workhorse among baitcasting reels. This ergonomic baitcasting reel is incredibly strong, durable, and reliable, making it extremely suitable for both freshwater and saltwater. It is primarily used for fishing with larger and heavier lures for bigger fish such as pike and catfish. The TRANX is available with a slow gear ratio (5.8:1) for (slow) fishing with cranks, spinners, and large softbaits, and a High Gear option (7.6:1) for faster fishing with jerkbaits and swimbaits.

The standard 301 effortlessly retrieves 78 cm of line with every turn of the double handle. If you want to fish a bit faster, there is also an HG option – featuring a single power handle with a sturdy knob that retrieves a whopping 103 cm per turn!
