Entice hungry Snapper into smashing your lure

Thinking of putting together the perfect baitcasting set up? The Shimano Tranx 200A-HG Salty Advance Tairaba B69MH-S Baitcaster Combo is a great option. This combo comes with the versatile Tranx reel - ideal for soft-baiting, light jigging and casting stickbaits. It's paired up with the Salty Advance Tairaba rod which features top quality components that will stand the heat of battle.

The Reel
The Shimano Tranx 200A-HG Baitcast Reel comes from the Shimano Tranx range, which is the next level in saltwater proofed baitcaster reels. These reels are designed to go toe-to-toe with the toughest saltwater and freshwater predators, having been resized and spec'd up to meet the growing demands of fishos looking for the next generation in saltwater baitcasters. Especially for Kiwis, the Tranx is perfectly suited to inshore jigging and lure casting to pelagics and freshwater species alike.

Hagane Body
The incorporation of Hagane Body provides the Tranx with a rigid yet highly durable outer shell that is free from body flexing, this transforms the angler's actions directly into cranking power when under load.

HEG
Additionally, High Efficiency Gearing (HEG) leverages an enlarged drive and pinion gear that is further supported by X-Ship for the ultimate in smooth operation.

X-Ship
X-Ship is a combination of features that work together to create much greater efficiency. By positioning the pinion gear closest to the centre line of the large diameter drive gear, more power is transferred from the handle to the rotor. The pinion gear is also supported by two Shimano ARB roller bearings, creating more stability.

S3D Spool
Shimano's S3Da technology leads to significantly reduced spool vibration. By designing a balanced and uniform thin wall aluminium constructed spool, S3D creates an incredibly smooth feeling when casting and retrieving lures.

CoreProtect
Providing unrivalled saltwater protection is CoreProtect, this unique Shimano technology involves the application of a hydrophobic spray to key areas of the reel - ensuring bullet proof performance in all conditions.

AHG Features
Appealing to a range of fishing styles, the AHG models come fitted with a double paddle handle. Maintaining all of the tough-as-nails attributes that have earned its larger predecessors a reputation for reliability in the saltwater market, the new Shimano Tranx 200A-HG Baitcast Reel sets-the-bar in-terms of raw power and performance.

Super Free Spool
The Super Free bearing supported pinion gear system (SF) was designed to eliminate friction on the spool shaft during the cast. In standard baitcasting reels, when the clutch bar is pressed down pinion gear is freed and can actually drag on the spool shaft, creating friction and limiting the length of the cast. With SF, the pinion gear is supported by a ball bearing, and when the clutch is diengaged the pinion gear and spool shaft are kept in precise alignment. The result is zero frictoon on the spool shaft for increased freespool.

S-ARB
Shimano S-ARB bearings are high corrosion resistant ARB ball bearings with an extra shield for improved protection against sand, salt or dust.

VBS
VBS uses centrifugal forfce rather than magnets to aid controlling the cast. The individual break weights when turned on, are forced outward at the beginning of the cast when backlashes most often occur, causing friction that reduces the speed of the spool. Once the spool speed begins to slow, the pressure lessens, allowing the spool to continue spinning. The result is a much more consistent spool speed that is easier to manage and takes advantage of the reel's maximum casting distance.

Cross Carbon Drag
This carbon drag material provides a wider range of drag settings, along with the smoothest Shimano drag performance ever.

The Rod
Designed to meet the demands of Kiwi anglers, the Shimano Salty Advance Tairaba B69MH-S Baitcaster Rod utilises Shimano's proprietary TAFTEC technology in the blank, giving it excellent sensitivity and feel, whist also being robust. It features Fuji stainless K guides and SiC tip.

TAFTEC
Shimano TAFTEC tips utilise a pre-stretched T-3500 directional yarn fibre with low resin saturation. This directional alignment of the fibres results in much less damage during the grinding process and results in a spineless construction which tests have shown to be much stronger, lower in weight, faster in action and more sensitive. TAFTEC tips are used where sensitivity is an important requirement of the rod.

Softube Top
Shimano Softube Top provides the sensitivity of an ultra-fine solid carbon tip with the lightness of a hollow construction. Softube Top construction can be found on models where sensitivity and finesse are both important requirements. The smooth, seamless action of Softube Top offers the angler an unrivalled experience for bite detection and fish-playing performance.
