Shimano Tranx 400B Casting Reel | Brand New Model 2026

Shimano Tranx 400B Baitcasting Reel – Now Available at Guide’s Choice Pro Shop

The King of Big Bait Reels has returned. The all-new, redesigned Shimano Tranx 400B is officially in stock at Guide’s Choice Pro Shop. For years, the Tranx series has been the gold standard for anglers who refuse to compromise on power. The 400B series continues that legacy, offering massive cranking strength in a package that won't wear you out.

Coming in at a nimble 12.2 oz, the Tranx 400B provides the perfect balance of heavy-duty performance and all-day fishability. Whether you are figure-eight-ing a trophy Muskie in the Northwoods or stopping a hard-charging Snook or Striped Bass in the salt, this reel is the ultimate low-profile powerhouse.

We have received our first limited shipment, and these models are ready for immediate shipping:

• Tranx 400B: (Right Hand) – The high-torque winch for heavy rubber and deep cranks.

• Tranx 401B: (Left Hand) – Essential for left-handed Muskie sticks needing maximum cranking power.

• Tranx 401HG: (Left Hand, High Gear) – The speed demon for burning bucktails and topwater walk-the-dog baits.

Why the Tranx 400B is the Choice of Professionals

Designed for those who fish hard and expect their gear to keep up, the Tranx 400B combines the comfort of a low-profile baitcaster with the brute strength of a round reel.

• Muskie Optimized: Engineered to withstand the relentless casting of heavy lures and the violent strikes of apex predators. At just 12.2 oz, it reduces the fatigue often associated with "the fish of 10,000 casts."

• Saltwater Tough: Featuring CoreProtect and a rigid Hagane Body, this reel is sealed against the elements, making it a top-tier choice for inshore and offshore saltwater applications.

• Unmatched Power: Utilizing Shimano’s X-Ship and HEG (High Efficiency Gearing) technologies, the Tranx 400B provides massive cranking power and smooth rotation under heavy loads.
