japanesebassman Posted November 14, 2020 Report Share Posted November 14, 2020 I gotta get a 300 size reel. My biggest right now is my Antares MD DC. For the people that already have it how does it handle soft baits? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Be curious if it’s reasonably identical minus the “core protect” feature that’s geared more toward the saltwater market. Yeah, I'm also interested in an internal breakdown and assessment before I really get hyped, and lefty reels haven't been released yet anyway.

bassfiend72 Posted November 14, 2020 Report Share Posted November 14, 2020 Weight difference? main shaft on the Tranx is Stainless and on the Curado 300k it’s aluminum. Tranx side plate aluminum. Curado 300k Ci4+. I’m not sure if this is accurate. I read it off a comparison page. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cutting anything from an already bare bones tranx couldn't have been easy. Also no backup anti reverse dog either in the 300K. Something else to keep in mind.

Cancelling my order, I'll order another tranx with the black friday sales. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
