First Look Inside the Tank that is the New Shimano Tranx 300 Baitcaster
Introduction: Power Anglers rejoice, the new smaller 300 and 400 Shimano Tranx low profile reels have finally arrived. Originally designed for tackling fish like tuna, musky, and stripers, the Tranx 500HG and 500PG reels offered anglers a reel that could hold up to both big baits and big fish. Bass anglers, especially swimbait and A-Rig fishermen, have been asking for a more compact version and Shimano has answered the call with the new 300 and 400 size reels, which were highlighted this week at the Bassmaster Classic in Texas, and are now available at some retailers and etailers. I purchased our test reel direct from Tackle Warehouse, which was among the first etailer/retailers to stock the new Tranx reels during the launch.

How would you rate it against the daaiwaa Z of any ratio?
Does it exceeds it or not

spot on on the handles. Seems like the handles should be reversed or why not provide both like the abu and quantum competition does?

Black oxide coated aluminum. Feels lighter than chromed brass or stainless.
Similar to the coating on the older "paladin" gears.
Almite
Tuffram
Very good quality.
I scratched the end stud to make sure it wasn't plastic
