    Thanks for the info about reel adjustments for line fluff at the beginning of the cast.

    Cool to see an amazing inshore casting reel in the $200 price range. Been looking for the right match for my G.Loomis GWR 901C. Gonna have to pick one up. I have a Tranx 400A on my Loomis IMX Pro Blue (903 CM) and it's been a great reel and will handle just about anything that swims. The breaking system on it is great....If you set it up right ,it's hard to get a backlash.

    Good review and intriguing reel for me, but hard to determine when I’d need a baitcaster. I’d definitely use it bass fishing though!

    How does the Tranx 150 do with lighter presentations? Can it cast 1/8th and 3/16th oz decent distance without much effort? Having trouble deciding between the this and the chronarch G.

  • @philjones3981
    @philjones3981 2 года назад +3

    It looks like a good reel. I've been using a Chronarch G for a few years now, and after a couple of accidental dips, it's become a little sloppy. I'm wondering if this new Tranx, with its lower bearing count and Core Protect will hold up better on the kayak. If it can cast 1/4 oz jigs + paddletails I'm in.

    what lb line are you using? I've only used low profiles in fresh water where using 40-50 lb because of pads and grass mats. I'm thinking 20 lb? For Inshore reds and trout.

  • @BillDeWeese

    Hmmm. I'm thoroughly enjoying my two Curado DC XG for inshore fishing. They are amazing. I guess if I were a Wade fishing guy who spent a lot of time bellybutton deep it would make a good bit of sense to get one.
    I tear these down regularly and they show no signs of having issues and I fish almost exclusively inshore.
    I would be very curious as to what pound test Flourocarbon you are using. I've been a braid guy for all my inshore baitcasting reels and I have for the first time loaded one of these Curados with Flouro. I'm darned impressed. It works very well for just about all scenarios except topwater where the line stretch can impact walking lures. I selected 16# Flouro to keep the line diameter on the smaller side, but it has me worried around larger Snook and Reds. I'd love to see what you are selecting for line weight for your Flouro. I cannot tell you how many sight fishing scenarios I've blown as the fish see the braid. I'm really excited about this extra superpower of being able to really have invisible mainline and no line-to-leader knot.
    Thanks again for all you do for the community. These Shimano baitcasters are fantastic.

      Did you ever see a Salt Strong line test episode? Showing the actual poor abrasion resistance of floro. Showing that it's invisibility is reduced after its first serious pull. I don't care for the salt strong guys but the tests are eye opening.

    • @BillDeWeese
      @BillDeWeese 2 года назад +1

      @@henryschmidt636 Yes. I'm been a follower of SS and an Insider Community Member for a very long time.
      It's true regarding abrasion resistance, which is regarding a comparison between flouro and mono for leader material. Because of those findings I rarely buy hardened flouro leader material and use mono for leaders instead. I only select Flouro for leader material for super wary nibbler fish like Mangrove Snapper and Sheepshead.
      But what I am talking about here is not Flouro leader being used with braid mainline. We are talking about Flouro as the main line on the reel. I positively despise Flouro/Mono as mainline on a spinning reel, but am finding it to be a great option now on my baitcasters.
      I was curious about what pound test line C.A. is selecting for Flourocarbon mainline on his baitcasting reels around Snook or Reds. I'm using 16#, but I fear that it may be too small in strength.
      Thanks for the feedback.

    • @BillDeWeese
      @BillDeWeese 2 года назад +1

      @@ericjchastain Very cool. Thanks. That's funny, my new interest in Flourocarbon on my baitcasting reels came from a recent trip to NC where we happened to get a free day on a reservoir for some bass fishing. I loaded this Lew's Speed with P-Line 12# and was impressed. When I got back to FL and my reels, I wanted to load it and went with Sunline but bumped it up to 16#. Doing a box-to-box comparison the diameter of Sunline was pretty good.
      Thanks again, sounds like I am in the ballpark.

      body is much smaller, spool is smaller, easier to cast lighter lures and also just a nice new reel.

    None of the shimano reels or any reel will last if you are fishing it hard in saltwater , I fish a tranx 400 and believe me . Water gets in and it will be destroyed on the inside, only so Much you can do to stop corrosion if you’re fishing hard …

    • @creekredfishingmastery
      @creekredfishingmastery 2 года назад

      i have two 300s and a 200. a major weakness is the thumb bar. no possible way to keep water out from there. the 300s have a useless "curtain" under the thumb bar but it doesn't keep water from entering when you cast. however, the tranx series are good reels.
