Shimano Tranx and Anthem XHeavy Overhead Combo

This heavy overhead setup is ideal for most offshore fishing applications, you can drop deadbaits for Snapper and Pearl Perch, livebaits for Trag and Mulloway, jig for Kingfish and Amberjack, or even cast small stickbaits for Mahi Mahi. It is a good combo if you are looking to kill a flock of birds with one stone! If you are looking to add a versatile combo to your arsenal the Tranx and Anthem is ideal. The Shimano Tranx is well sealed due to technology such as coreprotect making it ideal for offshore fishing as reels tend to recieve heavy spray, especially on days with strong winds or big swell. The Anthem rods have a strong backbone and are comfortable to fight fish with. The combo is spooled with Shimano PowerPro, a strong, slick braid popular amongst the staff at Ottos Tackle World. We feel that the 400 Tranx is suited to the angler looking to catch hardfighting pelagics on jigs and livebaits or Snapper and Jew in shallow reefs and wrecks where it is important to go harder on fish to avoid getting busted off. 

This Combo Includes:

- Shimano Tranx 400 HG 

- Shimano Anthem SW 6ft6 40-65lbs

- Shimano PowerPro 300yards mossy green 65lbs

The Shimano Tranx is the next level in saltwater proofed baitcast reels. Featuring the coreprotect concept, meaning the Tranx range has greatly improved water resistance whilst maintaining a “free” feel when winding. Ideally suited to most baitcasting applications like soft-baiting, light-jigging and casting small and medium sized Shimano stick-baits. The Shimano Tranx baitcaster reels are not only ergonomic in the hand, packed with more than enough drag, durable and strongly built but are also setting the bar in water resistance.
