| For those of you with an LJV or Trini 16 handle on your Tranx HG, which hole are you using? The inside hole - shorter handle, or the outside - longer handle? I have the Tranx HG and LJV handle both being mailed to me right now and from my research I'm getting the Tranx stock handle is 2.75" from drive shaft to center of handle, and the LJV/Trini 16 handle offers 3" or 3.25". Just wondering which length is used by most.
Thanks

| Does an aftermarket handle make that much of a difference? My PG turns double 13s to mush. Love these reels! |

| I really like the new revo toro NaCL power handle, put that on my tranx and preferred it the best. |

Location: Contrarian Island | the metal in the toro nacl handle is a little weaker than the metal in the trini 16na handle...how do i know? i bent it on a hookset last weekend.. trini 16na handle is aweseme on the tranx. |

Location: Minnesota | the only thing I don't like is the size if they made it in a 400 that would make it that much better |

I thought you were suppose to use your rod on the hook set, aren't you Brad? |

| Is there really that much of a difference adding a different power handle on the tranx compared to the stock handle? I have been using the stock handle and I have no issues with it whatsoever...works good. |

Location: Contrarian Island | yah, I palm the reel and when I sweep the rod on hookset my right hand is on the handle and I'm right handed so I end up pulling w that hand as well...hence bending the handle....
as far as a longer handle, yes, it increases your leverage... |
