    Default Shimano Tranx opinions?

    Sweet baitcaster. Larry Dahlberg is throwing heavy pencils and swimmers to mahi and tuna? Wow Anyone ever use or know about this reel?

    Man that is a sweet reel, powerful to hold up to that tuna too. How much do they go for?

    Online around 5 bills. I have seen them as low as $475 new. Never fished one though

    Cool reel, Larry Dahlberg seemed to really like it.

    just sold mine too heavy IMO for a baitcaster weighs 23 ounces didn't balance well and is more a boat reel. I just replaced it with the new Calcutta 400D which IMO is much better suited as an all around reel and its $100. less and can cast plugs well

    Pay attention to what history has taught us or be prepared to relive it again
