  • Yellowtail fishing out of fisherman's landing San Diego aboard the Liberty 9-2-18. We fished the Coronado Islands with lots of yellowtail caught. I was fishing hookup baits all day, first time using these baits. Rod: Phenix M1 7'11'' rated for 15-35lb paired with a Shimano Tranx 400hg spooled with 40lb J-braid and a 50lb flourocarbon leader

    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?

    • @mdirtbike
      @mdirtbike  4 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      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.

      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.

    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...

    • @Briguy1027
      @Briguy1027 5 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      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.
