this is the handle I put on the hg... makes it even easier to bring in bucktails fast...yes, faster than the PG!
black eva knob. killer.

BNelson, I've been checking these out as I like the EVA knobs over the stock Shimano stuff. Is the 45mm the size you roll with? Anyone know what size in mm's the Abu toro s 60 handle is? I find that size to be pretty comfortable, maybe just a pinch bigger.

Location: Contrarian Island		yes, the 45 mm is the one I use... it's very comfortable.

Location: Madison		I'll throw my two cents in. Get an Avet two speed and you will have the best of both worlds. I am a lefty and it was the best option I could find for big blades. It does not have a level wind so it is a dedicated reel for blades. On the low gear you don't even know the blades are turning, in the high gear i can burn 10's with ease. Never used a tranx so I can not compare speed, but the reel is much smaller and easier to palm if that is how you hold your rod.

Location: Contrarian Island		all the avets I was in the boat with sounded like a meat grinder! maybe yours is smooth / quiet .... the one Avet I compared speed with the hg was still faster...

Location: ontario		a tranx hg is definitely not faster than an avet lol. A jx 6.0 does 46 ipt and a hx does 47 and even the smaller mxj 6.0 does 46 all with lower gear ratios. than the hg trAnx. Probably not recommend tho for novice anglers but in the right hands they are wicked
