Been looking at this exact setup! Have an uncle that has a st croix premier musky rod…he’s had it for I don’t know how many years and it’s still going strong….I’m currently trying to decide between the Tranx 400, Abu Garcia revo toro beast and daiwa prorex for a reel
Definitely wouldn’t call the tranx hg the best beginner setup as it come to $500+ after tax, though an amazing reel also if getting one the regular one with the regular handle will be a more versatile reel for a beginner, especially since the power handle has a tendency to snap the bail on casts and send baits flying, and when you’re a beginner losing a lure you don’t usually have too many extra
@@christianarmstrong7042 It is not the size of the fish but rather since people will throw lures that weigh over a pound and the force of the being thrown long distances can snap the line I have seen someone cast of a 40 dollar lure and 10 dollar leader since they did not have proper line to musky fish. I use 80 pound power pro and I have never casted a musky lure off.
