Kevin Wimmer the tranx500 is bigger, has more drag and line capacity, but it is a bit heavy and bulky. The 400 is a great all around reel for throwing jigs-swimbaits- hookup baits-whatever. It really depends on what you’re targeting. I own both the 400 and 500 and would definitely recommend either of them. As far as spinning reels- if you like fishing them, then fish them. Baitcast reels eliminate line twist and a sore pointer finger if casting big jigs all day.
Hi thanks for the upload 💪🎣 bought a shimano Tranx 400 after watching this video. It’s a beast of a reel I love it. What rod is that? Thanks in advance
Wow, nice grade YT on the bass gear. Looks like a super fun day. Like the green braid. When was this vid filmed? Been a while since I've seen YT like this in the fish counts. Thanks for sharing.
Alvin Yu the tranx400hg only does about 18lbs at max drag, I probably only used about 7-8lbs of drag idk exact numbers. I was running 40lb daiwa j-braid on that reel with a short 30lb flourocarbon leader.
@@mdirtbike thank you for replying, the stabilizer bar is the little silver bar that the line guide rides on. I took this reel to catch rock fish off a jetty and on the fourth trip I noticed it was starting to rust.
@@mdirtbike I do rinse my baitcasters lightly with a jet of water. Either my reel is faulty or i need to rinse harder but i have fished shimano my entire life and i have never seen a reel rust this fast.
Get your LH reel then you don't have to worry about switching hand. You might accidentally drop that rod in the water. I don't understand the concept of casting then switching hand. I don't really...
Most saltwater people use a righthanded retrieve reels. They're used to casting righthanded and then switching hands. I started on spinning gear and my copied my Dad casting, with his right hand, and then retrieving lefthanded. Now when I use conventional gear I actually prefer doing it as you say, cast on my right and retrieve lefthanded, which works fine for me since I'm a natural lefty. I just have to thank my Dad for teaching me to cast righthanded, heh.
Putting that tranx to work!!
Sick video man!!
Just got this same exact rod in today and a curado 300ej to pair it with
Nice video first time seeing it. 🤙👍
Hookup Baits, those baits were on fire that day!
Hooked a small mako on this reel and it was awesome lost it on the knot coming undone but it held together nice smooth
Just got same setup. Still figuring out how to cast 😝
That looks like a lot of fun man. Party boat in FL are not like that. Don’t have that fun mayhem
Conjunto bem equilibrado!
How does the tranx 400 compare to the 500 aand other reels like the Abu garcia and spinning reels you see used on that boat. What are the advantages?

What size hookup baits did you use bro and what color
they were 1.5oz mint color, they worked great!
@@mdirtbike nice color choice thanks bro
Nice video...keep posting

On 9/9/18 they went offshore and i caught 2 yellowfin and a dorado. Video coming soon
What the rod spec brother

Jarrod Madrusso video was filmed 9-2-18 we fished the coronado islands
Sweet vid! What knot connection you using?
ILGNR2 alberto know and San Diego jam knot
Nice catch! How much max drag for the Tranx you were using?
What is your line set up bro? Going there next week do full day. Hope I can catch something. Any advice would be appreciated. Thanks

Hey, do you have any problems with the stabilizer bar rusting
What stabilizer
@@mdirtbike thank you for replying, the stabilizer bar is the little silver bar that the line guide rides on. I took this reel to catch rock fish off a jetty and on the fourth trip I noticed it was starting to rust.
@@lazyyan2918 no mines clean no rust, i would contact shimano. Are you rinsing your reels off with freshwater after every trip? Salt kills reels
@@mdirtbike I do rinse my baitcasters lightly with a jet of water. Either my reel is faulty or i need to rinse harder but i have fished shimano my entire life and i have never seen a reel rust this fast.
What color is the hookup bait, did you let it sink all the way?
I think it was the blue/clear one 1.5oz i was only sinking it for like a minute and jigging it back
Good vid the overpriced tubes do the work
POACHER BAITS
Thinking about getting the same setup. How do you like the xfast tip? Keeps the fish pinned? Will that same rod work for live bait also?
ILGNR2 Phenix makes great rods, I would fish something a little heavier for live bait, the yellows were small that trip so that m1 rod kicked ass
what color and size Hookupbait?
pan8a 1.5oz “mint” and “sardine green silver”
@@mdirtbike slow/medium/fast retrieval speed?
pan8a slow retrieve with jigging popping to add action to the bait
How do you like the Tranx 400?
Enrique Escobar i love the tranx400 great reel

If they only made the 500 in lefty……..
