Anybody use a Shimano TranX or Abu Garcia Revo Toro?

I was thinking it could do double duty for surface iron and for chunking plastics for calicos ect.

I'm leaning toward the Tranx because I'm a fan of Shimano gear.

The tranx makes an appearance in the 2nd half of this vid. It's a pretty fun reel

I paid about $650 for my set. But its my favorite set up for casting irons!

It's now been about two years. That being said, would you still pay the $650 cash for that set? And on another note, how has it held up? Thanks

TranX would probably be overkill for calico bass and anything else inshore....I use a Curado 300ej....works great

I took my Toro 50 out for some fun on paddies last summer and it was a fun reel to use on the 15-20 lb football YF Tuna.

A true workhorse is you ask me.

I fish a revo toro nacl 60 series. It is probably my favorite reel. It has enough line capacity and drag for yt and wsb but still small enough to easily cast plastics in the kelp. I troll and fish live bait with it also, just turn on the clicker and wait for it to sing. The Abu is very nice and I am quite happy with it.

I don't have any experience with the Tranx, primarily because I fish left handed and Shimano doesn't offer a lefty Tranx otherwise I would probably own one.

I have 2 toro 50's and love them. I fish calicos with 65lb braid tied to 40-50 flouro no issues, great reels. I also have 2 lexa 300s that I like even more than the toros.

That video scares me........You actually knew where to a Arnie work out vid....

Nice fishhhhh.

Toro NaCl 50 or 60. They both have 22# of drag and are made to fish the salt. I've caught plenty big fish on them and they're still going strong.
