Anybody use a Shimano TranX or Abu Garcia Revo Toro? - Kayak Fishing Adventures on Big Water’s Edge

If I had tranX money I wouldve bought one. But I do have a revo toro 50 and it has not disappointed me. Pulled in some 20#-25# yellowfin tuna in baja with it along with yellowtail, dorado, and a big leopard shark out of sd bay. Drag is solid and casts great. Have used the tranX before also. Is it better? Yes. Is it worth what you would pay for it? No. Would be much happier with a trinidad for that price. My two cents

I have the shimano tranx and the shimano 300ej both really good reels. If you get the tranx make sure it's "hg" easier for irons. But I really like the 300ej strong reel and smooth.
