TRINIDAD NARROW SPECIALS

For offshore anglers who are after a versatile reel that can handle live-baiting, trolling, jigging, or casting hard-bodied minnows, poppers and big Squidgies, Shimano’s Trinidad Narrow Specials are well worth checking out.

There are two reels in this narrow-spool range - the 16N and the 40N. The smaller model has a 6.2:1 ratio and a line capacity of 225 metres of ten kilo mono, while the 40N has a 4.9:1 ratio and holds 275 metres of 15.

Internally, there are six of Shimano’s patented A-RB bearings and one stainless steel roller bearing keeping everything rolling sweetly, a precision click star drag with Dartanium drag washers, and an adjustable ratchet which can be cranked up for live baiting - thereby preventing the bait from pulling line off the reel until it gets eaten.

A big, comfy power handle makes winding a breeze, and the narrow spool design and lack of a cross bar in the one piece machined aluminium frame is particularly useful when deepwater jigging. This means it’s not necessary to worry excessively about spreading the line neatly across the spool during those wild gyrations and enthusiastic sweeps of the rod. The presence of a Super Stopper anti-reverse mechanism eases the strain on the internals during this energetic style of fishing, and also eliminates back play in the handle.

Finally, a reel clamp is supplied as standard, as are tools to perform basic maintenance functions.
