The Curado 301 works for my Northern Pike fishing. I was considering the Tranx. But I fish from the shore and reckoned the extra weight wasn't needed. I like a slow gear ratio too. Most of my lures are under 3 ounces. So far so good.
@@ericmoralesfishing i've got four of 'em, mounted on phenix m1 inshore 8'2'' 35llb max line rating mh xf. my next rods will be daiwa 24 proteus inshore.
Good video. I am looking at both of these and your video helped a lot. I am new to freshwater swimbait fishing for bass. I am using 2oz 6" Hud ROF 5 baits on a Phenix M1 8'2" 15-35lb and a 20-45lb. I just liked & subbed and looked thru your videos briefly, for one on swimbait line recommendations ? What would you recommend if I chose either of these two reels / rods setups ? Thanks much!!!
They share almost all the same components, even the spools are exactly the same. So it is no surprise that they are almost identical to use. I have several Tranx and Curado K, which I use for pike fishing - so all kinds of methods, from jerk baits, swim baits, top waters, etc. I can't separate them, other than the Tranx feels a smidge smoother. Boils down to aesthetics, price and they key one - are you going to use in saltwater. I think people try to kid themselves that the Tranx is better somehow, when all you're paying extra for is proofing against saltwater. LOL.
You don’t need the Tranx for Swimbait fishing. I’m not a fan of the breaks on the Tranx 300 wish they would have used the SVS infinity breaks from the Curado. I really like the Lews Superduty 300 over both of them because it has a dual breaking system

Been using the 300k for 3 years and it’s still running strong for me. Might have to pickup a tranx as well for another setup.
both are great!
daiwa lexa tw 300 has crb bearing which are superior to shimano bearings.
@@investigativeoutcomes9343 noted! I’ve never fished Daiwa but might in the near future. Was eyeing the SV TW
@@ericmoralesfishing just get the daiwa lexa tw 300 h-p and don't look back.

I always wanted to try the TranX but I doubt I’ll ever be able to put that much in a reel but I love throwing glides!
both are solid, Tranx is just definitely beefed up

20lb AbrazX fluorocarbon is a good swimbait line!
Think I’ll go tranx for 300 don’t like the colour but wanted one for years
I think you'll be happy with it. Thanks for watching!

good points, excited to try the new TrannX they just unveiled
I have both. The tranx can handle my usage. The curador keeps breaking from use.
Yep, Tranx has been solid!

Not to be that guy but me personally; I think it’s pronounced Tran-X but I could be wrong
you are that guy bro
the lexa tw is far superior.
