Shimano77 Posted April 18, 2018 Report Share Posted April 18, 2018 Anyone upgraded their tranx 300/400? Curious of bearing upgrades, knob changes, handle changes, etc....Im not a fan of either stock handle option and wondering if anyone has upgraded?

zsneezes Posted April 18, 2018 Report Share Posted April 18, 2018 (edited) Fairly recently DRT released just the knobs from their varial handle. I recently switched out the knobs on my tranx and am loving it. No big fish yet but I enjoy fishing with the reel even more now. (sorry the pic is huge lol) Edited April 18, 2018 by zsneezes RIVET 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah they are still kind of hard to find, there are a few Japanese auction sites that have had them available recently. mike son 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do I need any hardware to make them work on my Tranx or is it included with the knobs? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Knobs arrived but not installed. I need new bearings to fit the knobs but have not had time to measure with calipers to figure out exactly what bearing is needed.
