*Great reel, **enjoyable.fishing** recommend very smooth and I love that you can change from left hand to right hand so easily. Gave it a 4 on durability because I haven’t had it long enough to rate it. Doing good so far.*
To bad about the datanium drag. Thats the first thing people have to replace if they're tuna fishing with the trinidad. Easy switch but it'd be easier if shimano just gave it a carbon fiber drag:)
Yeah $500 for that!? Yes its got a place but between this the talica 50 and the new Stella swb shimano has lost touch with what sells in an attempt to reach niche markets and is drastically overpricing their products to the point that their is no longer a "bang for your buck" what so ever and proof of this is I was at the boat launch with some freinds who charter and all of them have more than one version of the spinfisher v and three of us have squall vsw's.
UNFORTUNATELY, shimano is to selfish to make the tranx 500 in left handed for us lefty's. We will never get to enjoy such a awsome reel because they are worried about their sales. I GUARANTEE if they would make a LIMITED RUN of left handed 501's that everyone would sell! Its sucks cause i want that reel sooo bad and so does sooo many other left handed anglers
Us trendy west coasters like what we like lol i see every end of the spectrum when I'm on the cattle boats from far to small spinning reels all the way to some guy with a huge tiagra trying to fly line bait with 60# flouro it's a great time to watch all the different personalities and it's even funnier watching people react to tangles ;)
If you have to upgrade ANYTHING on it, it just isnt worth it! Shimano is getting just like PENN! Make it right the first time, there will always be an aftermarket niche, but don't engineer it into your gear! Make it perfect for the fisherman right from the box, or lower your price!

WOW! this reel looks AMAZING nice job shimano!
Crazy!!! 95% of fish caught on the west coast don't even need a hundred yards of line
My happiness upon hearing about this reel only lasted a few minutes. Google told me that it will not come in a lefty. :(
lol the white knob is red now from the red braid
Basically bring your prices down to competitive, or at least comparable price levels and you'll get more business, simple as that.
Get what u pay for!!
jealous as heck!
Drooling!! I believe it comes out in march. It'll run about $500. A little pricey but that's Shimano. Curado on roids. Like it!
can't wait to try it from the surf
I want this reel NOW
Does this beast of a baitcaster come in left hand?

not even closed to the spool of the 20, to me it's more of a 16 spool size.
A left-handed model would be nice.

Not sure why west coast guys fish bait casters on party boats. Why not just get a nice spinning reel? Way easier to cast. No backlashes.
Spinning reels are for little kids, and generally bait casters have more power, and it's kinda a west coast trend

Line capacity and gear ratio
Dartanium, oops
