Trinidad 16A Jigging Reel

THE BEST STAR DRAG REEL FROM SHIMANO

A personal favourite of the team here at Land & Sea the Shimano Trinidad 16 A Jigging Reel has to be one of the best star drag reels going around. Its incredibly smooth handle rotation is a result of market-leading internals by Shimano to make the Trinidad range a long-term staple for many of New Zealand's leading fishermen. If you are looking for a light jigging set to target Kingfish at your local reef then consider both the 14A & 16A Size Trinidads from Shimnao. Perfectly paired with the Shimnao Grappler or Shimano Backbone rod range. At Land & Sea we stock the full range of Trinidad reels because we know how good these really are! 

Designed to excel at inshore and bluewater applications alike - the Shimano Trinidad 16 A Jigging Reel is unbelievably compact but has all the latest Shimano technologies included. The ultra lightweight cold-forged aluminium Magnumlite spool and one-piece side plate and frame feature Electronic Ionisation (EI) surface treatment plus chrome-plated screws for the kind of extreme corrosion protection you need in the saltwater environment. The Trinidad A is rated for mono, fluoro and braided lines.

Aluminium Cold Forged Spool
These spools provide strength and durability over diecast aluminium or graphite spools.

E.I. Anti-Corrosion Surface Treatment
After the anodisation process is finished, a second layer of surface treatment is added. This treatment is forced into the remaining surface impurities. This gives salt no hideout and also results in an extremely smooth-to-the-touch finish. A reel with E.I. treatment has more than double the corrosion resistance of a standard anodised reel.

Super Stopper
Super Stopper uses a one-way bearing that eliminates back play. This provides the angler with instant hook setting power.

X-Ship
By supporting the pinion gear on both ends with the S-ARB bearings and integrating a bigger drive gear, Shimano increased the gearing efficiency and power. This results in a fishing reel with ultra-light handle rotation; less effort and power giving a perfect rotation even under heavy loads.
