Shimano Trinidad A Star Drag Reel
From inshore casting for stripers and bluefish to jigging for fluke and sea bass to offshore trolling and bait fishing, you can rely on the Trinidad A range to get the job done. With technologies from Shimano including X-Ship for increased gear durability, Hagane body for increased body rigidity to eliminate flexing and improve gear train efficiency, and a Cross Carbon Drag material that outputs a wide range of Shimano's smoothest ever drag, the Trinidad A is designed to provide huge cranking power in a versatile, lightweight package.
