Entice hungry Snapper into smashing your lure

Thinking of putting together the perfect slow jigging set up? The Shimano Trinidad 12 A Salty Advance Tairaba B69MH-S Slow Jig Combo is a great option. This combo comes with the compact, rigid and powerful Shimano Trinidad 12 A Jigging Reel paired up with the Salty Advance Tairaba rod which features top quality components that will stand the heat of battle.

The Reel
Designed to excel at inshore and bluewater applications alike - the Shimano Trinidad 12 A Jigging Reel is unbelievably compact but has all the latest Shimano technologies included. The ultra light weight cold-forged aluminium Magnumlite spool and one-piece side plate and frame feature Electronic Ionisation (EI) surface treatment plus chrome-plated screws for the kind of extreme corrosion protection you need in the saltwater environment. The Trinidad A is rated for mono, fluoro and braided lines.

Aluminium Cold Forged Spool
These spools provide strength and durability over diecast aluminium or graphite spools.

E.I. Anti-Corrosion Surface Treatment
After the adonisation process is finished, a second layer of surface treatment is added. This treatment is forced into the remaining surface impurities. This gives salt no hideout and also results in an extremely smooth-to-the-touch finish. A reel with E.I. treatment has more than double the corrosion resistance of a standard anodised reel.

Super Stopper
Super Stopper uses a one-way bearing that eliminates backplay. This provides the angler with instant hooksetting power.

X-Ship
By supporting the pinion gear on both ends with the S-ARB bearings and integrating bigger drive gear, Shimano increased the gearing efficiency and power. This results in a fishing reel with ultra-light handle rotation; less effort and power giving a perfect rotation even under heavy loads.

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.
