Shimano Tranx A

Tournament-tough quality and superb dependability, Shimano built the Curado 300 for anglers who aren’t just chasing fish but those targeting quality over quantity. Incorporating a deep 300-size spool intended for heavy-pound line and the needed capacity for extra-long casts, the Curado 300 features a long handle with wide-grip knobs to provide anglers with the extra power that’s necessary when pulling on big fish. At the backbone of the Curado 300 lies its rigid HAGANE Body that prevents flex when that giant finally decides to commit. Available in two gear-ratio options — a standard 4.7:1 and an HG 6.6:1 — the Curado 300 allows anglers to find the right reel to match their fishing style and needs. Engineered with power in mind, the standard 4.7:1 model pulls double-duty for anglers fishing slower, methodical presentations, or when fishing with Alabama rigs or magnum crankbaits. The HG’s 6.6:1 gear ratio provides a slightly faster retrieve and is ideal for anglers aggressively working baits or for quickly picking up topwater slack. Built to fish big baits for big fish, Shimano created the Curado 300 to perform and never back down.

The requirements of Australian anglers are unique amongst the globe. None more so than the needs of anglers in the northern states, chasing barramundi and other tropical sportfish on baitcaster tackle. Daiwa’s TATULA range has taken the market by storm with the perfect blend of line capacity, performance & value. TATULION is an evolution, elevating performance to another level with the introduction of a waterproof carbon ATD Drag system inside a 200-size capacity baitcaster reel for the first time. The 200-size line capacity demanded by many anglers allows the use of heavy braided line and plenty of it. The Carbon ATD drag equipped in TATULION is water sealed, with a rubber gasket lining the top of the stack helping to keep water out, which ultimately means a more durable and longer-lasting drag performance. TATULION’s drag also features an audible click, a feature long used in flagship Daiwa baitcast reels such as Steez and Morethan. The audible drag click ensures anglers know exactly what’s going on, allowing them to adjust their fight to ultimately land more fish. TATULION features an aluminium gear side plate, which allows the use of the carbon ATD drag by giving Daiwa engineers more room inside the side plate to equip the slightly thicker drag stack. A host of other improvements can be seen in TATULION, such as an aluminium long-arm drag star and EVA handle knobs, making it not only easier to adjust drag on the fly mid-fight, but also improving overall grip and comfort of the reel while in use.  

Pushing the edge of design, engineering, and materials forward, the 13 Fishing Concept Z SLIDE Casting Reel enters a new realm of performance standards that redefines what baitcasting reels are capable of. Starting with its SLIDE Magnetic Cast Control System, SLIDE is a finite casting adjustment located just inside the frame that gives anglers instant adjustability literally with the flick of a thumb to eliminate wasted time adjusting internal controls. It also features an internal Low-Friction 6-Way Centrifugal Braking System that gives anglers even more adjustability so you can dial-in to any condition with any size lure.
