ScummyBadger Posted February 27, 2017 Report Share Posted February 27, 2017 I have a couple new Tranx 400hg's that I will be picking up this week. They come with the single knob power handle, which I do not want. Does anybody know if there is a double paddle handle out there that is compatible with the new Tranx? I know I could swap a it for a stock Tranx handle but with the reels being new, I am not sure how readily available stock handles are.I've reached out to Hawgtech via IG and their website to see if they had any answers, but have not yet received a reaponse. Any intel would be much appreciated. Thanks SU Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

perfectpaul Posted February 27, 2017 Report Share Posted February 27, 2017 this reel definitely has me torn. ive been waiting for a smaller tranx for some time now but dont want that power handle on a High Speed. the DRT Varials are sweet for sure...just by the time you get that, the knobs and the nut, youre in another $250...in which case you could almost buy another Tranx and take the handle off of that haha.

Dirtnasty Posted February 27, 2017 Report Share Posted February 27, 2017 (edited) Word is the stock double paddle handle for the Tranx can be ordered through Shimano for about $75 CDN, so should be about $50USD for you south of the border.

perfectpaul Posted February 28, 2017 Report Share Posted February 28, 2017 Well, one question answered. Would absolutely like to hear about some firsthand experience tossing big baits with either size before taking the plunge. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ScummyBadger Posted February 28, 2017 Author Report Share Posted February 28, 2017 Hell yeah. Thanks for the info, I'll be ordering a couple handles. Tranx power handles coming soon to a black market near you lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
C_R_TX Posted February 28, 2017 Report Share Posted February 28, 2017 If you are looking for a replacement handle, Check out Reel Kustom Reels on FB. Very nice carbon handles he makes himself, without the JDM price. Around the $85. 4 oversized bearings and EVA knobs. Very happy with the handle I bought from him about a year ago.

perfectpaul Posted March 5, 2017 Report Share Posted March 5, 2017 Rod, have you had a chance to use it long enough to give an opinion on quality? Functionality? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scoopdaloop Posted March 5, 2017 Report Share Posted March 5, 2017 I've had my Tranx 400 on two trips now, love it for throwing my big glides. Very smooth reel and am very happy with my purchase. I will say the 400 is big in a small package, it took an entire spool of 25lb sunline. Lurejerk and jkjohns331 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rod Wynn Posted March 5, 2017 Report Share Posted March 5, 2017 ^^^ Same here^^^ When I purchased it, they spoiled it up with 25lb. FC Sniper and it was perfect.. Lurejerk 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
