Shimano's redesign of a low-profile baitcasting reel renowned for its smooth, powerful performance and unmatched durability, the Tranx 300 B builds on the series' "workhorse" reputation with premium technology enhancements designed to tackle both fresh and saltwater environments. Crafted with precise intention, the Tranx 300 B features Shimano's CoreSolid and HAGANE Body technologies, which integrate the B-side plate, level guard, and reel frame into a single, ultra-rigid aluminum piece. This seamless construction ensures an incredibly flex-free platform, allowing for exceptional rigidity and sensitivity that directly translates angler action into cranking power. The Tranx 300 B is equipped with Shimano’s SVS Infinity MD Tune braking system, offering easy, on-the-fly adjustments through an external dial. Whether casting heavy or light lures, this system allows anglers to fine-tune brake settings for maximum control and accuracy. Built to leverage large fish, the Tranx 300 B incorporates X-Ship technology, significantly reducing friction between the spool shaft and gear. This innovation dramatically enhances gear durability, ensuring the reel is ready for any challenge. Packed with features that elevate casting and cranking performance, the Shimano Tranx 300 B redefines baitcasting utility for the angler.
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.
CORESOLID BODY
CoreSolid Body integrates the B-Side Plate, levelwind guard and frame into a solid one-piece construction. This delivers an unprecedented feeling of rigidity and sensitivity, and is the first design of this type in a low-profile baitcast reel.
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 BAITCASTING
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.
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.
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 power, increasing efficiency through strength.
MICROMODULE GEAR BAITCASTING
The MicroModule Gear system creates a smooth retrieve by utilizing smaller teeth to increase the number of contact points between the drive gear and pinion gear. Ultimately, this produces a more efficient gear train with less of a gear feel.
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.
X PROTECT
X PROTECT provides high-level water resistance to the inside bearing of drive gear shaft with waterproof construction.
