A tough and reliable baitcaster combo that won't cost the world!

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.

The Rod
The Shimano Dialuna B76M Medium Baitcaster Rod thoroughly pursues performance beyond its class, evolving further like never before. It adopts a Spiral X and high power X blank structure to produce a lighter weight and increased power while maintaining strength and rigidity. With a regular fast taper, the tip section offers excellent operability while the middle and lower sections retain the power to effectively manage high-load situations when casting and fighting.

The new carbon monocoque grip provides additional weight and increased sensitivity. Thanks to this, the sharpness and responsiveness have been greatly improved, and anglers can readily detect changes in water flow and understand the swimming actions of the lure. The Dialuna has now evolved into a rod that allows anglers to enjoy high-precision applications, realising a new feeling of operation at will.

Emphasizing on accuracy of casting and operation in close range battles, the Shimano Dialuna B76M Medium Baitcaster Rod is the versatile baitcast model that covers inshore and deepwater fishing applications. Suitable for casting a variety of lures in the 7-38g range and manipulating metal jigs up to 45g. This model is also ideal for use with PE1.5 lines and 15-25lb leaders.

Spiral X
Through its exclusive lightweight structure, Shimano's patented Spiral X construction enhances catching power for anglers. Spiral X construction consists of three layers: a middle layer of vertical fibers as well as inner and outer layers, both comprised of carbon tape that tightly winds the blank diagonally in opposite directions. By using this carbon tape in place of a conventional horizontal fiber sheet, Spiral X achieves enhanced compression rigidity and increased torsional rigidity without adding extra weight. This in turn facilitates instant power transmission for precise casting and fish fighting.

Carbon Monocoque
Carbon monocoque grip is a carbon-molded grip that is lightweight with high sensitivity, transferring even the smallest vibration to an angler's hand. It increases sensitivity by 30% compared to traditional rod handles and utilizes a hollow structure that eliminates unnecessary parts of the rear grip to improve weight reduction and vibration transmission.

Hi-Power X
Hi-Power X construction uses diagonally-wrapped carbon tape to form an array of inchXinch shapes on the rod blank's outermost layer. The width of the tape, its winding angle and the part of the rod being wrapped are fine-tuned according to the target fish species. This manufacturing process allows Shimano to adjust these wraps during construction for precise actions, enhanced overall strength and added twist resistance. In short, Hi-Power X construction delivers sharp and crisp rod control for the angler.

CI4+
CI4 is a Shimano original material reinforced with carbon fiber that is lighter and has a higher strength than conventional resin material. CI4+ is an advanced version of the original CI4 material and is 2.5x more rigid than its predecessor. While improving lightness and rigidity, reel bodies, rotors and reel seats built with CI4+ are further reduced in size and weight.
