With X-Ship, Shimano is able to further enhance the Trinidad A Reels gear efficiency, power and smoothness, plus they have been able to reduce the weight on all reels compared to the original models. When you combine this with High Efficiency Gearing (HEG), the E.I. corrosion protection, and the new compact, one-piece cold forged aluminum frame and sideplate, Trinidad A Reel anglers will really appreciate this complete redesign.
   The Trinidad A Reels weight reduction is possible from the smaller frame, a one-piece cold forged and machined aluminum right sideplate, and an ultra-lightweight cold forged aluminum Magnumlite spool. Both the right sideplate and spool feature the Shimano E.I. surface treatment. Anglers will also find a corrosion prevention pad in the manual metal clutch lever, eight shielded A-RB anti-rust bearings in each reel, chrome plated screws and a cold forged aluminum drag star, all designed so anglers can pretty much abuse these Trinidad A series reels in saltwater and have very little worry about any corrosion."
   Anglers will quickly notice the new chrome color of the Trinidad A reels, plus a lightweight ergonomic white handle knob and adjustable handle shank. All the Trinidad A reels feature Shimano's Dartainium II drag for high pressures and durability. Trinidad A Reels feature sizes and new and proven features to use all types of lures and baits for just about anything that swims in the saltwater.
