Released in January 2025, 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.
