Shimano Tranx 500 PG Overhead Reel

Tons of features packed in a new design

The Shimano Tranx 500 PG Overhead Reel provides
you with a new design not yet seen on Kiwi shores. It combines the
comfort and castability of a low profile baitcaster and the
capacity and drag power of a more conventional overhead reel.

Shimano has packed this weapon with some of its greatest features,
namely X ship with its bearing supported pinion gear and HEG
gearing which provide immense cranking power unrivaled by its
competitors. X-ship also eliminates friction between the pinion
gear and spool shaft, enabling tremendous free spool for super long
casts. The Shimano Tranx 500 PG Overhead Reel also
feature a VBS cast control system allowing the angler to fine tune
the reels casting, has seven shielded ARB bearings, Dartanium Drag
that outputs an impressive 11kg of drag and comes with a ergonomic
Power handle.

Super Free
The Super Free bearing-supported pinion gear system is designed to
eliminate friction on the spool shaft during the cast. In standard
baitcasting reels, when the clutch bar is pressed down, the pinion
gear is freed and can actually drag on the spool shaft, creating
friction and limiting the length of the cast.

VBS
VBS uses centrifugal force rather than magnets to aid in
controlling the cast.

X-Ship
By supporting the pinion gear on both ends with S-ARB bearings and
integrating a bigger drive gear, Shimano increased the gearing
efficiency and power of this rod. This results in a fishing reel
with ultra-light handle rotation.
