I Did not buy them all at the same time compared to some guys I'm a beginner and need more combos. As for the 700 it was my big rubber reel till I bought the Tranx HG Now is a back up reel. And no I did not palm it. It's a big reel

Im on the fence on what to buy hg or pg. I want it for mainly blades (10's/13's)and big rubber. Can you give me some input?

For 10's and 13's you have to go PG.

The PG Makes it very easy for blades. The HG I use on my pounder set up. So when your ripping and jerking it picks up line fast so there is no slack in your line. I know some people do use the HG for blades. But i have both reels and i have never felt the need too use my HG.
