Tranx 400B: Tame the Beast

The Shimano Tranx 400B is the latest iteration in the legendary Tranx family, a powerhouse low profile baitcasting reel built for throwing big baits, at the most hardcore fish that swim. CoreSolid and HAGANE Body technologies deliver unmatched rigidity and flex free cranking, ideal for heavy loads. SVS Infinity MD Tune braking offers precise control for casting heavy baits. X-Ship boosts gear durability and casting distance, while Cross Carbon Drag ensures smooth, reliable performance. The S3D Spool technology minimises vibration for ultra smooth retrieves, ideal for long days on the water. Versatile across salt and freshwater applications, the redesigned Tranx 400B is a vital tool in the pursuit of trophies.

HAGANE


HAGANE is a Shimano reel design concept created to withstand continual use and extreme abuse. HAGANE is an innovation with built-in toughness and durability that works alongside Shimano's precision engineering. HAGANE is for all anglers.


MICROMODULE_RL_BT
MICROMODULE

The ultra-compact precision gear and the elaborate body housing realize a "silky" winding feel that has never been experienced before. SHIMANO's unique gear system that reduces the vibration level to less than half in a vibration comparison with conventional gears (our comparison), and achieves a smooth feeling without sacrificing strength by increasing the number of gear teeth that mesh with each other.


XSHIP_RL_BT
X SHIP

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 increased support allows the gears to stay in the same position under the heaviest loads. X-Ship technology also eliminates the friction between the spool shaft and gear to further benefit anglers with enhanced casting performance and casting distance of lighter lures.


HAGANEBODY_RL_BT
HAGANE BODY

The HAGANE Body is a metal reel body with high rigidity. The body rigidity and impact resistance virtually eliminate body flexing on the reel while fighting a fish. The result transforms the angler's actions directly into cranking power,


XPROTECT_RL_BT
X PROTECT

X PROTECT provides high-level water resistance to the inside bearing of drive gear shaft with waterproof construction.


CORESOLIDBODY_RL_BT
CORESOLID BODY

CoreSolid Body integrates the B-Side Plate, levelwind guard and frame into a solid one-piece construction. This delivers an ridid feeling.


SILENTTUNE_RL_BT
SILENT TUNE

By applying slight pressure to the bearing holding the spool, SilentTune reduces the vibration of the bearing during high-speed rotation. This improves the quietness while casting and the rise of the spool rotation becomes even smoother.


SVSINFINITYMDTUNE_RL_BT
SVS∞ MD TUNE

SVS Infinity, with step less adjustment using the external dial, makes it easy to determine the best setting.
MD TUNE enhances braking performance by utilizing eight brake shoes. It improves braking force, especially when dealing with high-line capacity and high-inertia spools.
Not only does it enhance casting distance, but it also excels in handling large baits with significant air resistance and sudden changes in wind direction.


CROSSCARBONDRAG_RL_BT
CROSS CARBON DRAG

The CROSS CARBON DRAG provides the smooth drag release and the durability.


S3D_RL_BT
S3D

S3D SPOOL leads to significantly reduced spool vibration. This creates an smooth feeling when casting.


SA-RB_RL_BT
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 the rotation of the bearing.


SUPERFREESPOOL_RL_BT
SUPER FREE SPOOL

SUPER FREE SPOOL reduces friction on the spool shaft during the cast and enhances casting performance.
