Kyle Davidson Posted August 23, 2017 Report Share Posted August 23, 2017 I am a die hard Shimano Curado guy, traditional tackle I fish a few 50e, 200e7, Scorpion 1500 and run two CU 300's for the SB rigs. My new H and MH LDC arrive Thursday and I need to pick up another reel. I am even considering leaving Shimano. I'd like to keep it $300 or less on the used/eBay market. Recommend away and if you have something you are trying to sell, feel free to ping me. I'd like something with a slightly longer handle, low profile and nice drag. Recommend away and thanks for the input! lux036 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BigSlant Posted August 23, 2017 Report Share Posted August 23, 2017 stay shimano go tranx? LUV-2-CATCH'EM, rapedSip and Kyle Davidson 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rogervang Posted August 23, 2017 Report Share Posted August 23, 2017 Stay shimano. Haven't had a chance to try out a tranx, but the 300e/301e should be good enough for that H rod. It's a bullet proof reel and it last forever. bigfish85 and bassfiend72 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fishinpunk Posted August 25, 2017 Report Share Posted August 25, 2017 Get a Tranx, you won't be disappointed. I own 2 and also own curado 300 ej, Lexa 300 , Calcutta te, Abu toro 1st Gen. Tranx is the real deal! Kyle Davidson 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jkling12 Posted August 26, 2017 Report Share Posted August 26, 2017 What do you guys think between the tranx and the lexa 300? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fishinpunk Posted August 26, 2017 Report Share Posted August 26, 2017 What do you guys think between the tranx and the lexa 300? Tranx...no comparison to Lexa (non HD). I own both in 300 size, the Tranx is way more refined, and more comfortable to palm imo. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mountainryan Posted August 26, 2017 Report Share Posted August 26, 2017 I have both. The tranx in low gear will just tow big baits. I love my used lexa 300 for smaller stuff to 5 oz. still pulls but just seems easier to win up on smaller baits, I have had issues with the lexa as mentioned in previous posts. I would buy a new lexa but I'm not sure I need another tranx Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kyle Davidson Posted August 28, 2017 Author Report Share Posted August 28, 2017 TranX has arrived. I need to spool it up and toss some baits but damn, it feels great some sitting on the rod. I will be ordering a second one of these for sure. fishinpunk 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nickyee55 Posted August 30, 2017 Report Share Posted August 30, 2017 I personally am using a Calcutta 400B and I'm trying to get my hands on a curado 300. Love them Shimano's! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
