I had the tranx, then sold it. Now I'm looking to buy another. I switched back to a conventional, and it turns out I'm pretty bad at casting
They cast great and are nice to fish the surface iron with, especially with spectra because you don't need to mind the line on the retrieve.
The downside is the price tag, and all the really tiny parts. Thats an expensive reel to either a) drop in the drink, or b) dunk in the surf
I'm gonna pick up another sometime as my surface iron reel.
