I was playing around with a HG one at the local shop and was not overly impressed. Don't like the side plate and the handel seems to have a little reverse play in the gearing. I'd still like to see the PG version tho... maybe the play won't be there.... I've been a shimano guy my whole life, fishing and mountain biking but this reel feels cheap to me...feels like a $200 reel not $300. I'll stick with my curodo 301e until some improvements are made with the tranx...
