Finally, someone made a reel review the way reel reviews should be. Keep the videos coming !!!! Thank You 👍
Thanks alot man!!!!
@@TackleAdvisorscheck out the picifun Alijos. I'm a high end reel guy but ordered this and I'm impressed. 100 bucks and came with power handle. Choice between 5.9 and 8.1 gear ratios. Would be nice to compare internally
By far the best reel review/comparison I have seen on youtube to date!! Thank-you for your time and the effort that you've put in...Bravo!
Sincerely, Thank you Joe! And thank you for the time spent watching!
Couldn’t ask for a better review. Very well done and exactly what I was looking for. Thank you.
Finally, I have been ruining pinion gears on two of my reels, that are of a much cheaper variety than these, because the reel engages during hard cast. Thank you for being the first to explain it at the 26 min mark!
best review video ive seen EVER!!!! great job man!!
Man, if this was one of your early videos, this comes naturally to you. I can't imagine how much 4 years of growth could do to you.
This is my first time here and I'm here to stay. Thanks for the exceptional quality of content 🤙
This video has NO EQUAL - this is by far the BEST analysis I've ever viewed - wow - what a great job, we all benefited from this!!!
Outstanding video!! Thanks for taking the time and sharing your observations/opinions.
i love this kind of clarification. it is very in details unlike some reviews they just focus on cosmetic of the reels and casting distance only.
Man I really like your reviews and breakdowns. I'm in the process of building another boat rod for the Northern California scene. I'm down to the Tranx 300 and the Lexa HD and your vids give a solid understanding of what you're getting for your money. Much appreciated.
Thanks for an amazingly detailed review of these reels!
This is invaluable, and it certainly helped me make an informed choice (as opposed to manufacturer marketing BS).
Thank you for making this video, I really appreciate it!
Great video very in depth which is what I enjoy, I don't like those 5 minute videos in which the commentary or the sponsor take front page. I subscribed to your channel so please keep the videos coming. Thanks for your time.
Very Good Review. Breakdown of internals very helpful.
Great review, good to know the reels weakness and strong points through the internal mechanics, thanks
thanks for taking the time to make this great video, in your opinion which of all is the best including the tranx 500?
I'm looking to pick up my first Tranx (first Shimano reel actually) and a Curado K and it's amazing to be able to watch these in depth tear downs and understand what I'm getting in terms of features.
That was incredibly thorough and informative! Thanks!
thanks again Randy!
Great vid bud!! Love your work
Well put together video, takes time and money to do this! Thanks for the review!
Thanks man....Hell yeah it does.....This is turning into a full time gig....Hence why I've been plugging making purchases through my links and my Patreon page.
Great comparison!
To abu revo defence, try to take out the magnets and leave only 3 or 2, then you get much better casting
performance out of it... with all the magnet in place it is overbraked even at zero setting!
Best regards Larsey.
Just pick up a Tranx 300 for my big swimbaits and glides. Per the usual. Great review. Thanks.
I learned a lot from this video, thanks for taking the time to create the detailed breakdown and comparisons. I'm currently budgeting for a largemouth swimbait setup, and I feel the TranX 301A is going to be a perfect choice. Happy Holidays to you, sir.
Hey Ian! I'm glad you were able to take something away from this. The tranx is great for that application. Happy Holidays to you as well!
Thanks! Enjoyed the the entire video.✌🏻🎣
I acidentally tripped that thumbar on my Prorex/lexa 300 (hard cast, balanced handle... bad design). Cost me a 30$ swimbait and the reel was done (bearing broke). So yeah, gonna go right ahead and buy a Tranx 300 now. Good review man, thanks a ton for the in-depth view there.
You just made me a fan of my new Tranx. I am going to migrate toward these away from my "Round" Abu's
Any intentions to do 2020 version of comparison of high end heavy duty baitcasters?
Great review of the Komodo.It does feel like a truck, powerful. My brother had some nice yellowfin on the big B-2 stealth bomber one!How do you feel Boca bearings would do in them. And what's the scoop on sealed bearings.Do you oil them at all or run them dry?I have bean cleaning all my stock bearings in lighter fluid overnight and taking an air can to them,then putting one drop of TSi oil in them and it works sickly good most of the time.Please advise on aftermarket bearings.Thanks, Sal
Rubber seald bearings may be able to have the seals popped out witout damaging them. Lube as you would normally and replace the seal. Be careful about using lighter fluid. Some bearings use cages that can react with chemicals. And long exposure could damage them. Just a heads up. Just like rubbing alcohol melts the dc brake on metanium dc's...and brake cleaner doesn't.....ask me how i friggin know..lmao
Amazing job! Subbed.
Very informative. Thank you.
love it thanks. ill sub keep it up. I would love to hear an in depth review on the lexas
Fantastic info, you sure know your stuff brother!! Thank you for your diligence, question though...
New to Musky casting/jigging and wondering what you might suggest currently for something to handle 65lb braid and 7oz+ baits. Will a 300 suffice or would a 400 be a better choice
400 and 80lb braid... a few backlashes and that 7+ oz bait will cause that 65lb to snap... sending your bait off where you'll likely never see it again. Some guys use 100lb for this reason. If you go 100lb, a 500 sized would be in order.
really nice videos and reviews! Do you happen to have a PENN fathom 25N lever drag? I'd love to watch a tear down video of that reel if ever. :)
Very good video!!! 😍 Shimano tranx 300 lacks 6 oz bait safely?
Excellent review! Very helpful indeed.
This review is awesome. Thanks. What are your thoughts on the Fireline Tracer line that you have on a couple of those reels??
Awesome braid. One of the toughest I've used to date
love all your videos man best tackle videos on here. my only question is if you know if the internals of the 400 are the same as the 300? really considering getting a 300 after this video.
Thanks man it's greatly appreciated! I'll answer that the same way I answered it here. www.stripersonline.com/surftalk/topic/686976-complete-2017-shimano-tranx-tear-down-feature-overview-and-comparsion-to-the-lexa-300-400-abu-revo-toro-beast-and-original-tranx-500/
I can only assume that everything in the the handle sideplate is the same. Without having one apart. I can't say for sure if it is. I've seen so many differences inwhat are supposedly identical reels....I'll see if i can get a definitive yay or nay.
Please review the Abu Gracia Revo Beast 2018 soon! Those reel are so much smaller and 30lbs of drag!!!
Great review, thank you!
Looking to throw 3 ounce swimbaits (bucca bull shads and bull gill) for musky/ bass. Trying to decide between Shimano tranx 300 and the lexa 300 hd. Would you recommend one over the other? Thanks
Between the Tranx 300 and the Lexa 300, who is a better caster? Which one casts farther?
I just ordered the Lexa 300 HD. I wish I had crossed this video first. No bait stores seemed to carry the reel so I could examine it. After seeing the 400’s size to the 300, and the metal piece on the 400 vs the plastic piece on the 300. I believe it would have been worth the extra $50. The reel will go on the Daiwa DX 8ft Heavy/fast rod. It’s for throwing 10” swimbaits and A-rig at Lake Guntersville. I’m sure I’ll love the 300, but it’s truly a big bait rod and reel, so now I’m wishing I’d have went bigger.
Any experience with the quantum exo 300? I have two. Thinking about getting another. I get them for around $100.
It would be nice to find all steel gears that could replace the plastic ones for the reels.
I have the Lexa 400. I went with that over the Tranx. I'm very happy with it. I have Shimano rods and reels and Daiwa... and Avet... so I don't discriminate either.
Appreciate the reviews! I have been looking for a new musky specific reel, and I hate how the disengaging levelwind reels cast (compared to like a Calcutta 400b, it casts super easy with a non-disengaging levelwind). I have had three pinion gears strip, and two spool pins break on two lexa 400. Very frustrating. The handle falls forward and engages midcast. The tranx sure gets good reviews, but I may even lean towards a komodo. I'll keep watching!
Very helpful video in deciding a buy. Thank you! I have my first ever baitcaster reel - a KastKing bought and it has plastic gears. I opened it up and found three teeth on of the plastic gears broke off and now it won't spin properly anymore - making grinding noises. I'm never buying anything with plastic gear ever again!
Nice review man. Just picked up a tranx 400hg today at my local tackle shop. Gonna be pairing it with the Phenix m1 7'3 mh. Cant wait to test it out against some yellows, bonitos, and barracudas. From ur experience, do you think my setup is decent for what I'm going for? Thanks
trueblue4l1f3 I got a shimano tranx 400 hg to its great 👍
I bought Tranx 301A this week. It will be my firs baitcaster ever. After watching your film i'm even happier. Looks like it was good decision. Hope it will work well for me.
How'd she run for ya? Gonna get one myself
@@paulnolan4324 it's good reel but i like my Callcuta Conquest much more.
Can you do the 13 fishing concept A or A3 or even a C. It would be to see your opinion on quality after tearing it down!!
Not quite the same class but what are your thoughts on the daiwa coastal 200?
You need more views...
If I would have come across this video before buying my Abu, I would have definitely gone TranX & a better rod than the Fantasista Beast...
Just glad I didn't pay full price at the very least...
Best review ever! Can you make review on the tranx vs the new abu revo beast.
Not the new beast. Working on the new tranx 200 and bigger z3 right now
Really great Video!
What about the TranX side plate coming off & the spool falling out all by itself?
Hii bro congrats nice video .... waht do you think Peen Fathom 400 vs tranx 400?
I have daiwa prorex xr 300 reel , I like so much..is best reel what i have, for pike fishing..good review! Thanx tranx...
Thank you love the videos
Can i use the lexa 300 for jigging fishing.?
I really like my Lexa 300 HD for bouncing baits off the bottom and fishing bridge pylons on the Chesapeake. If I’m fishing bait I still very much prefer my Avet SX or MXL the LD fishing live bait to me is a must.
you have owned these reel for a few years, can you talk about their durability and experience? I'm in-between the tranx 200/300 and revo beast
100% tranx is a better reel, this video and many new ones should automatically let you know
Any suggestions for a salt water baitcaster preferably 150 200 size 200$ to 300$ price range. I can’t make up my mind between the Shimano chronarch g, tranx 150/200 or the daiwa coastal 200hs. I’m twitch jigging for coho and chinook salmon in the PNW. Thank you 🙏
Have you looked at the new Dawia lexa 400 tw, I want to compare to the next Tranx 400. What are you thoughts.
Great review !! Thanks
Do you think the Shimano Tranx is well worth the money? Or for a 300$ price range you’d be better off with a better reel. How would you compare this reel to a Lexa 400HD.
I recently ordered a Shimano Tranx 400 from amazon prime. I got the low gear ratio, so I went ahead and ordered the power handle for it. When I took off the double paddle handle I noticed my reel didn’t have the star drag seal. Aside from helping the reel be more water resistant do you think not having that seal could hinder performance? I’m still gonna order the part from shimano and probably won’t use the reel until I get the part. Btw I’m really glad I saw this video, if not I wouldn’t have known about that seal!
Wow..that's weird. No performance loss. Just less water resistance. Glad to have helped!
Apart from this excellent show of know how, I'd like to lift this expert on the shield for his clear explanation. I''m a Dutchman and like most of these familiar with the queens english. No problem at all with his American pronunciation.
The 400hg is not a solid reel don’t be fooled. I had mine fail after 4 trips with the spool bar bent to shit. Switched to a beast for the extra $100 thanks to my retailer. Good review thanks even if you’re not a fan of the abu I appreciated your review of the internals.
Hey, Awesome review, I'm in a dilemma right now, in Mx we are catching 30-40 inch Shortfin Corvinas, and 30-40 inch Snooks on 4 1/2" X-raps, I throw them on a Daiwa Tatula type HD, Calcutta 250, And Calcutta 250 Te DCs, but, I keep getting spooled and I would like to upgrade to a Tranx, the thing is I don't know what size to buy, The 300 doesn't have the line capacity I'm looking for, and the 400 does, but, I think I'll sacrifice the casting distance with the 400, will i be able to throw 1/2 oz. lures with the 400?
THe tranx 300 and 400 won't cast anything like the TE DC going down to half an ounce. I don't plan on fishing anything lighter than an ounce with the tranx to be honest. I'm sure half ounce lures will be ok but not in the same league as the dc and Tat.
Awesome video can't wait to get my hands on one, going to sell my 300ej those seals are a game changer. Do you know if the double paddle handle will fit on the high gear model? Not really a fan of the power handle after using the ej.
Thanks man!! From what I am aware ...Yes....And shimano is going to be selling it separately. I think i saw 40$...but that may have been the price of the power handle..
+Tackle Advisors awesome thanks
This video got me to subscribe. I really like all the info and vibe of your videos. I noticed that some reels have a centrifugal break or magnetic break. Do you personally prefer one over the other or does it not make a difference to you personally?
Thanks man! Im glad you enjoy them! I bounce back and for in terms of what I prefer. And all braking systems do the same thing... Apply braking (duh). But they vary greatly. And "come in" at different strengths at different times. So different brakes may behave differently depending on speed and aerodynamics and conditions. In general I prefer a wide range externally adjustable mag break. I really like the ivcb flying arm abu brake in terms of friction brakes. But like the svs infinity combined with the shimano feel better overall. A curado with ivcb 4 would be awesome. A tranx with mag force Z or DC would be epic... Wait until you see me cut pieces out of the curado DC in order to send shimano a message to bring DC back to saltwater reels (Trinidad dc was the best ever)
Many thanks for the time taking on my questions. I know you say "it's just my opinion" it's still greatly valued. I hope those breaks do come to saltwater 😃
Oh I also tried to get my hands on that same Trinidad. Lol. Only to find out they don't make it anymore 🤔😁😁. I actually saw it on a TH-cam video and paused it at the exact time ( it took for ever!!) And took a picture that was not fuzzy and then zoom in to find out what the name of the reel they where casting 😆
@@rubenmadrid3154 I had one of my friends check to see if there were any on any display cases or shit that may be lost in the warehouse....nada..............That trini dc may be as rare as a vs 400 lol
Just wondering as an American and doing reel reviews I would've thought the higher end Quantums would be reviewed as well. As an Aussie they seem to be good reels well on paper anyway and from the reviews I've read. I have a little S3spin 1500 I love and an older smoke 30 that hasn't done much work but iis very nice to use. I am looking for a decent bait caster to jig insure for some solid fish like snapper. The Trand is on my list but would love to hear some honest opinion s on the Quantums
Trying to find the brand and model of the reel that you can crank by pressing the top of the reel , great help if you can reply,,,
Daiwa viento or the Megaforce or magforce...I had a pair of vientos when they came out.....kinda cool....but I find i can just reach under the reel and flick the drag star with my finger to take up slack line instea of using the twitching bar.
Thnaks for this review and guide i buy lexa winn 😉
Im really getting excited and Trying to become a nerd on internals! Lol
Any extra wisdom will be much appreciated. Which is better, brass gears or stainless steel gears for both (wear and tear) and (corrosion )??
Lol same here :)
Well brass on brass and stainless on stainless are strong as hell depending on size and cut. Corrosion shouldn't be an issue with either. As a nerd ya head off those sorta things :)
Combine dissimilar metals or let run exposed with no lube and wear rates go up.
Also worth mentioning Drive train alignment and support play a more important role than materials
The only thing that sucked about the original tranx was the enormous size . These look like the musky reel we have all wanted ! Finally !
insane review
Great review
did you ever review the curado e and chronarch e versions?
Dude, what camera did you use for this?
if the spool tension knob is almost all the way unscrewed and you cast will it make noise almost like if the thumbar got slighty tripped?
+luis ramirez I know what you mean. That chattery sound. No it does not.
I cleaned and lubricated 2 of my bait casters and now for some reason on both reels i can not get the drag tight enough and will slip. I didn't put grease there but it won't hold. Why is that happening?
Hey peter...Sorry just seeing this comment now. try arranging the belleville washers in such a way that they are nested (( and not ()
What reels.....you may need to make sure the ar clutch sleave is keyed to the top drag stack washer. (some are keyed)
or there may be a thin washer above the ar clutch sleeve if the reel has a bearing on top of it...it may need a washer on top. If you haven't figured it out yet. Ping me on my tackle advisors facebook
Revo beast X, sx or the stx if they are priced both at $120 right now.
Great tutorial!!!💪💪💪😊
Nicely done sir.
I'm going for a Daiwa t-wing prorex 8.1 for river/lake trophy stripers
Is that worm gear plastic on Abu
Sub today supposed to buy a reel today but this info help me a lot thank you 👍
Have you or anyone compared the trax 300 to the new Penn battle fathom?
Do you think the Tranx 400 would work as a long distance surf casting reel for pompano on a 12 foot surf rod? Mostly cast 90 yards or less with an4 oz lead and high low bait rig.
I don't see why not. Look at the new lexa as well....seems reel nice
Thanks for the review. Sub 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼
No problem...lots more on the way! From braid to the Tatula sv vs curado I
Excellent, Informative video. Thank you. Abu Design shame, but all the rest can be made better too. Water Seals in Shimano is nice , but reel is not water tide to make big difference. Shimano Stainless steel pinion nice, interesting how it will look after allot use and how brass gear connected to it.. .
If you had boca bearing on these reels how much more casting distance would you get
I have them in the lexas and tranx 500. Noticed an increase in the lexas..but that's because they come with greased bearings with fixed shields from the factory. I didn't notice any increase on the 500. Not a worth while upgrade on the tranx reels imho
What u recomended for jigging & bottom fishing application, tranx 300 or 400, and HG or standar rasio.
Please advice.
Thx.
I like fast reels for bottom fishing......and slow reels for high torque for jigging. The PG being a 5.8 is still fairly quick. I'd go 400 pg and order the single handle separately from the HG. amzn.to/2eRRUao
thanx alot bro.
Thanks for the info. Why is the Okuma Komodo SS not a part of this comparison and what are your thoughts on it in comparison?
NP I think the short answer is....holy crap I have enough reels already.....but honestly...If I didn't find out about the new tranx coming out lalmost a year ago. I would have bought the Okuma. I probably could have gotten one....But i wanted to get this vid out early Before all the shilling bias reviewers do their write ups on the forums
Tackle Advisors thanks for the reply! This is my biggest choice between the tranx and Komodo. Your video has been extremely helpful
Glad to help! Good luck! Better think fast.....season starts soon!
Great review, man!
Is this for Muskies or bass?
First thanks for the detailed review. I’ve been bottom fishing in Monterey Bay with a Curado 200 high speed (30” per crank) and find in a little under powered and possibly slow for my application. It’s hard to put my finger on exactly what I need. I slow drop keeping my thumb on the spool to stay in contact with the jig. I get a lot of bites on the drop or as soon as I touch bottom. Then I’m speed reeling to catch up with the ling that just bombed out of the rocks to attack. Maybe a longer handle would give the power difference I’m looking for, maybe a different gear setup. Not sure really. I fish braid line between 12 and 30lb depending on the structure so the Lexa 300 should have plenty of capacity. I also have a handle from a revo toro NaCl that I will put on the lexa. I had a revo toro NaCl and loved it, I could cast weightless or 10” deep divers with the same reel. I lost the NaCl in a kayak accident so I never used it much in the salt so I’m not sure how it would work in this scenario. I’ve been told a 40” ling will bust my gear. So far I’ve only caught 25” fish and I would like a little more power but mainly for quicker hook sets. So in your opinion is the 300 ok or should I go 400?
Btw I liked your review on the cast distances. I would be interesting to see a casting review with weightless baits, like a fluke and hook type setup. I feel like the lexa might be the best of both worlds and the beast would probably perform better. Regards,
How long of a rod are you using. And what's its action. If using a short stick under 6' with lots of give. It may make it difficult to move fish. Stepping up to a rod over 7' with a bit more grunt in the upper third may be more helpful than stepping up to a 36" inch per turn reel. Know what i mean? I'm not a big bottom fishing guy. And never targeted ling. But using squishy rods targeting blackfish can make it tought getting em out of wrecks. Longer rods also move much more line on the hookset. I use 8 footers on my yak in fw. The 7'6 teremar is a great bottom fishing rod. amzn.to/2zlgGLI
I also use the 7' which is a tad lighter. great tip and action for bottom fishing with tons of power. TO me the most important thing about bottom fishing is speed and support for pulling out snags. Tranx kinda gets the nod there can't remember how fast the Komodo goes. But thats another powerful reel.
Thanks, the beast does a bit better with light baits. But a 200 sized reel makes it a bit more manageable say when throwing 5" finS.
I've been using a 7' inshore berkly rod its MF action and power is M. I should probably step up to MH or H power. I have a Shimano TDR in 8' MH that I will try this week and see if that makes a difference. I'm still getting more hookups and I've consistently been catching more fish than my friends. I think it’s because I’m using braid and I can feel light bites better. Most bites are just subtle changes or a slight vibration on the line. Then I speed reel tight and hookset. Sometimes it’s just 2 or 3 head shakes and their off or I might even crank 10’ of line with them on. I think I can definitely benefit from a rod with more power and length. My roommate has a Lamiglas 7’6” that I might try, feels like MH but it’s not listed on the rod.
The best way I can describe the problem is when I’m speed reeling up on the fish I feel under powered, or maybe it’s a balance thing (it feel strange to speed reel 4 cranks at home now) with Could also be I’m reeling a load onto the rod because its M power when I should just be setting the hook sooner with a more powerful rod. I’ll have to go put my hands on a few rods. I like the inshore I’m using because it feels light in the tip (well balanced). My TDR is not and the Lamiglas could be better and I know I’m picky enough that in the long run I will want something well balanced. I like my TDR for dragging weight or applications where I’m not hold the rod lightly for long periods of time. If that makes sense.
Lings aren’t the only thing I plan to catch with this setup. A multitude of bottom fish and hopefully some halibut. Anything with will hit a finesse type jig presentation.
How is the cranking power of the tranx 300 compared with the 400? Is there a difference due the bigger spool or not? I'm doubting wich one to buy, it's for pike angling in europe. I'm also doubting for the HG for more line retrieve speed during the hookset. Any suggestions? Regards and happy angling!
Absolutely no differnce the capacity is increased due to width
@@TackleAdvisors oke, thank you for the super review, glad I didn't buy the beast when it came out now when I see this! Going for the 301 Hg then!
Awesome! I'm in the market right now looking for a low profile that I can use for pier fishing. Im looking for lexa vs tranx. Still undecided, what do you recommend? For trout and redfish fishing. You got a new subscriber!
Thanks MAN!!
For straight winching durability with a levelwind..In a low pro...Can't beat the Tranx. It's all about the x ship....Dual bearing supported pinions on a baitcaster...And dual bearing supported handle shafts are 2 of the best ways to make a reel more durable. If Daiwa made An aluminum steez in a 300, 400 and 500 size......Then I'd say go with the daiwa :)
But until then.....Tranx all the way.
If you're gonna buy. Consider buying from the Amazon or ebay links..Purchases made through them pay me a small commish since I'm an amazon and ebay affiliate.
Tackle Advisors nice! The tranx 300 is not that big for trout and redfish right? Im currently using my td daiwa zillion and just thinking of getting a new one im looking for size 200 like new curado k and chronarch g. But this tranx is look really solid but size start at 300.
It's definitely a bigger reel. It's a curado 300 size.
Whenever I hear redfish I think of the ones we get up here. Upwards of 40+ lbs.
Out of the larger low pros. The tranx is the best all around. But if you plan on throwing light baits. Under 1/2 an ounce. The Zillion will be a better choice.
I was throwing very small deadly dicks at pots for mahi just the other day on the lexa 300. Not the ideal sized reel for it.
Heavy spool to get goin on lighter stuff.
Tackle Advisors i see thats what im thinking it will be over kill im throwing jigheads lest than 1/2 oz. i wanna try something than my td zillion which is still in perfect shape. Do you recommend something that close to my zillion? Also I'm planning to get another one for bait and weight bottom fishing. I already have shimano calcutta 400b.
