Shimano Tranx 500

DESCRIPTION The Tranx features a revolutionary design and shape that provides the comfort of low-profile reel with the capacity of a conventional reel. X-Ship and HEG technologies combine to provide massive cranking power with a smooth and effortless retrieve. FEATURES X-Ship Baitcasting X-Ship provides improved gear durability. By supporting the pinion gear on both ends with bearings, the pinion gear maintains precise alignment with the drive gear. This allows the gears to stay in the same position under the heaviest loads. The added benefit of X-Ship technology is that friction between the spool shaft and gear are eliminated. This further benefits anglers with enhanced casting performance and casting distance of lighter lures.   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 actions directly into cranking pow
