DirtySouthGlide Posted July 15, 2020 Author Report Share Posted July 15, 2020 The TW screen shot looked to me like the pre order date was July 19. I wonder if the release got pushed back? It would seem they would have released it at their virtual I cast yesterday? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MA Frog Man Posted July 16, 2020 Report Share Posted July 16, 2020 Looks like it may come out on the JDM side of the world first. From what I heard today this has been floating around since the K originally came out but has just never happened. I assume that with the current state of manufacturing and shipping it may be a little bit before the US market sees it. I really hope they changed the levelwind setup but if its really only $20 more than the K I doubt it. $199 kind of scares me based on the Tranx performance at $280. I honestly don't understand the move by either Daiwa or Shimano. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ive got three 400s and my brother has a couple 300s and we haven’t had a single issue yet. We fish 50/50 salt and fresh with them. Oldest one is maybe year and a half or so, maybe it’s just a matter of time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But I also see the worst of the worst and if there was nothing wrong with the reel I probably wouldn't be seeing it. Primus 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I haven’t opened mine up yet, perhaps I should take a peek. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigpoppabass Posted July 16, 2020 Report Share Posted July 16, 2020 So all of this is about a new model with a 300 spool size? New reel looks nothing like the classic green 300 series. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They have to keep the line of reels looking the same amongst the brand DirtySouthGlide 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bassfiend72 Posted July 17, 2020 Report Share Posted July 17, 2020 That pic posted to Tackle Warehouse looks like a Tranx. So is it going to be built off a Curado K or a Tranx with no seals in it. I guess we will see. I remember when Shimano called a Curado E a Chronarch. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Might be the wrong analogy for young peeps here. P.S. Haven't had need for new baitcaster in while so it's tough to keep following em.
