Shimano Tranx 300B
Tranx 300B: Tough and Strong
Shimano’s complete redesign and upgrade of the new Tranx 300 B baitcaster takes an already respected “workhorse” and elevates it straight into the “thoroughbred” league! Crafted with precision and incorporating Shimano’s CoreSolid and Hagane body technologies to integrate the side plate, level wind guard and frame into a single, ultra-rigid unit, the Tranx 300 B is a powerful, flex-free reel suited to tackling the toughest fish swimming — in both fresh and saltwater. With its SVS Infinity MD Tune braking, long, trouble-free casting is an absolute breeze — even in a breeze! Whether you’re firing out over-sized swim baits or finessing lightly-weighted soft plastics, the Tranx 300 B’s integrated X-Ship and Micromodule systems offer the perfect mix of control and accuracy, while X Protect keeps water on the outside, where it belongs. And it’s all backed up with the sort of drag performance and brute cranking power you need to tame river monsters and sea creatures! In short, Shimano’s Tranx 300 B redefines the boundaries of modern, low-profile baitcaster reels by putting potent performance squarely in the hands of even the most discerning angler.

Testimonial
“The Tranx 300B is a tough reel and super strong, it’s work for me as I’m pretty rough on my gear. The drag is silky smooth and super strong and allows me to handle big fish with ease. The 300 size is perfect for the big Barra that I chase" - Coby Pascoe
Technology
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
The MicroModule Gear technology creates a smooth retrieve by utilizing smaller teeth to increase the number of contact points between the drive gear and pinion gear.
X-Ship
Larger diameter of the drive gears, optimal placement of both pinion and drive gears, and two-point support with pinion gear bearings. The engagement of these sturdy gears maintains a nimble reeling that is resistant to loads.
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.
X PROTECT
X PROTECT provides high-level water resistance to the inside bearing of drive gear shaft with waterproof construction.
CORESOLID BODY
CoreSolid Body integrates the B-Side Plate, levelwind guard and frame into a solid one- piece construction. This delivers an ridid feeling.
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.
Cross Carbon Drag
The Cross Carbon Drag provides the smooth drag release and the durability
S3D
By completely reviewing the cutting method, the spool accuracy has been greatly improved. As a result, the quietness when casting is improved. (Compared to our company)
S A-RB
By applying a special anti-rust treatment to the bearing itself, the durability against rust has been greatly improved. The S A-RB is also sealed with rust-proof material on the sides, which greatly reduces salt corrosion due to salt recrystallization inside the bearing.
SUPER FREE SPOOL
SUPER FREE SPOOL reduces friction on the spool shaft during the cast and enhances casting performance.
