i have 4 Curados and love them, but my next reel may be the Tranx 400HG to go on my first dedicated swim-bait rod...(thinking Dobyns 807 or 867) it has a single power handle, but I will probably change it to the large paddle handle that is on yours and i agree that the older Curados are very cool looking!
I looked at a Tranx last year ( the 400 hg) and wound up buying a Daiwa Prorex instead. It had almost twice the drag 30 lbs compare to 18 lbs, plus the T-wing level wind for casting. And I love it. Smooth, great drag, casts a mile. but yesterday I saw a good deal on a new tranx 400 at a swap meet and bought it for $275 full of 40 or 50 lb braid. Weird that the Tranx 300 has 22 lbs of drag and 400 has only 18. But I'll give it a try. Let's see how it handles a 45 lb river striper. Used it for a few weeks now and I like it. It looks gorgeous on my swimbait rods and casts well, its smooth. I got the 400hg. Only issue is my drag goes from zero to max in only like 2 clicks of the star drag. Have 50 lb power pro on it now. Love the power handle
@@216edwin yes. Its a good reel all around, but the diawa prorex 400 is def better. The drag is twice that of the tranx, but other than that they are pretty equal as far as smoothness and casting. I havent caught anything over 25 lbs on it yet. Im sure it will handle a 50 lb fish, no problem
Hi Mr Bass Thanks for your review of this great reel ! I'm from France and i'd like to know the name of the lure you show in the middle of your video. Great job, thanks !
No. I have several curado's but not the 300k. Sorry. I hope you can hop on the live stream monday at 8pm CST. I have more unboxing and I'm going to give away more prizes with the spin to win wheel.
I have definitely thought about it and watched quite few videos about it. Thanks. I hope you can hop on the live stream monday at 8pm CST. I have more unboxing and I'm going to give away more prizes with the spin to win wheel.
Nice review, but Shimano just too much money for me.. I am using the lews skipping and pitching.. I can never sling a bait 100 yard, nevertheless 220+ yards.. so all you are doing there is wasting line. The lews Sp has 20# of drag. so very close to this one.., and the lews is nearly half the cost.. Shimano makes nice products, but they are too proud of them for budget
