Looking to change the handle on your Shimano Tranx Reel?  This Shimano Tranx Paddle Handle is OEM and is made to fit all Tranx 300A and 400A size reels.  This handle fits the Tranx 300, 301, 300HG, 301HG, 400, 401, 400HG, 401HG.

This Shimano made handle is easy to replace, just remove your existing nut lock screw, the nut lock plate, and the chrome nut. Remove your existing handle and replace it with the new handle.  Be careful that the drag star doesn't pop off, it has a spring under it which gives it pressure from below.  Replace the parts you took off making sure not to over tighten the chrome nut. The nut lock plate might take a little adjustment so the plate nut screw lines up with the screw hole.

The power handle version is a single knob to give you a better grip and more power on bigger fish. The power handle works best when you need more power and torque on bigger fish.  We find the power handle is better on bigger fish or if you have a problem with your hand slipping off on an aggressive bite.  On the west coast, we like the power handle for fishing surface irons and yoyo irons like the Salas 7X, Salas 6X or Tady 45 and Tady 4/0.

The paddle handle version is a double handle to give you better balance and more refined retrieves for fishing many types of lures.  The paddle handle works best when working lures or when you just don't need the larger power handle.  We find the paddle handle has better balance but not as much torque.

AFTCO Gold Series Bait Nets come with woven polyester netting - a commercial grade, knotless, bait-friendly mesh, designed to last for many seasons of heavy use - are the perfect live bait net choice for scooping delicate baits like anchovies, menhaden and sardines.  The hoop of the net is made of aluminum and are available in 8 and 10-inch widths that allow for easy capture of the liveliest baits because they'll reach into the corners of the live bait well.  AFTCO Bait Nets feature Gold anodized aluminum handles with black foam grips, and are available in lengths of 12, 18, and 24 inches.

These bait nets are our favorite design and last for many years.  The flat bottom and sides make it easy to grab bait when it's trying to get away.  The rounded sides make it easy to slide into the corners of your live well. 

The net is recessed into a slot so the net itself won't rub on the sides of the tank.  This makes the net last much longer since it won't get damaged when trying to get that lively bait.  

It's light weight and easy to use if you have small bait like anchovies or larger mackerel.  The foam grip is durable and allows for easy use even while your hands are wet or slimy.  We like to have the handle longer than the deepest part of the tank so it doesn't sink to the bottom making it hard to retrieve.  

If you need a nice and affordable bait net, you can't go wrong with the AFTCO Gold Series Bait Nets.

• Gold anodized aluminum handles with black foam grips
• Woven Polyester netting

Duran's DFP Mega Clamp for Casting Reels is more than 200% wider than stock clamps and the most secure clamp on the market! It works with low profile and conventional reels that have mounting holes in the reel from the manufacturer.  It will give your fishing reel added security so it doesn't move and is necessary for deck hand rods.

A deckhand rod is a rod that does not come with a reel seat.  The benefit to a deck hand rod is to have the ability to mount the reel in the ideal location depending on your preferences.  

This clamp is designed to be used with stock hardware and protect your expensive blanks from being crushed. Deep serrations on the inside and rounded edges on the outside equal a comfortable grip and maximum holding power for those long battles.

This clamp is CNC Machined out of aircraft grade 6061 aluminum and anodized to prevent corrosion. Custom laser cut stainless steel inserts and washers are provided so it will work for a wide variety of reels. Another cool add on feature is an adjustable trigger that can be taken on or off depending on your fishing style. 

• Trigger Sold Separately
• Ideal for deckhand rods
• Will not work with spinning reels or rods
• Wider surface area to displace pressure to prevent blank damage.
• The millimeters(mm) listed is in relation to the diameter of the rod.  Measure where the reel goes, wether it is on the rod itself or the reel seat, and that will tell you what clamp you need.
