Shimano Tranx
Submitted by spanishmackeral on Mon, 2012-06-04 13:51
Just saw the new Tranx reel on Shimano's website, they're just a big baitcaster really, and look pretty good on paper.
My guess is the PG model would make a great demersal jigger.
Does anyone know when they will be on the shelves and at what price?

Dont buy first model
Have heard rumours that the level wind on them has been struggling under max drag. Keep an eye on them because I dont think it will take shimano long to iron it out. Definitely on Santas list..

To be honest I was a bit shocked when i read the max drag is 11kg, I dont know of any level wind that could hold up to that pressure.

Any Feedback on these?
Hey guys
I have been thinking about getting a Tranx for Dhuey fishing with bait and jigs. Just because I am lazy and like the idea of having a level wind.
Has anyone used a tranx?
Cheers
