SHIMANO TRANX 400HGA. Tackle anything that swims in freshwater or saltwater with the powerful, new Tranx. Ball Bearings: 5BB+1. Weight: 12oz. Power Pro Line Capacity (#LB/Yds): 50/275, 65/170, 80/140.
This is a great reel. Light weight, smooth and powerful, it is everything you would expect from Shimano. The only downside is the star drag can creep on you. Check it often until you get used to the reel to know it’s gonna stay put. I think this is a problem when it is new but goes away after use.
Great reel the Tranx 400 Hg is a workhorse the last time out I was throwing 42 gram Colt snipers went 8 for 11 on 20 - 34 lb yellowfin tuna the reels has not failed with about 60 tuna up to 45 lbs this season I have 4 of them set up with 25-30 mono and 65lb max Quattro braid for backing for better line capacity
The Tranx 400 is a key piece to any arsenal. Perfect for your medium size fish to your westcoast yellows. You’d be amazed how much power this small little reel holds. In my opinion there is no comparable reel, when comparing power, build quality & smoothness.
Everyone who fishes knows the TranX 400 is the best. They're right. And the right-hand power drive makes it that much better. I look forward to passing this baby on to one of my children-- the lucky one.
