What customers say about "Key Specs"
Shimano Tranx (TRX400A) LowProfile Baitcasting Fishing Reel
- Awesome reel. Caught nice sized fish on it. casted clear across the river with little effort.
- This reel is very smooth with huge line capacity.
- This light weight reel paired great with my Phoenix rod and is now my surface iron 20-30# set up. Yellow tail killer
- I currently spool with 30lb braid, but i’ll use 40 when I replace the line. It’ll hold plenty of either, even for the big kings.
- I have loaded it with Power Pro Super Slick 40 pounds and cast a mile and its operation is very smooth ... Great Shimano !!!
Daiwa Lexa 400 (4014910)
- I like the large line capacity. I put 50 lb Power Pro Braid with about 200 feet top shot of 30 lb Big Game Trilene.
- It is available with different handle and gear ratio options. It is well made, easy to use and feels solid.
- I love the high-capacity it's a little heavy but it handles the larger fish up here in Alaska quite well.
- Great easy to use reel. No backlashes, heavy or light baits. I now own two after a week casting.
- I can cast baits as low as 1/2 oz. which is impressive for big reel like this!
