Subject: need a new reel to complete my setups..help..

I'm looking to buy a new reel to complete my rods and reels. Right now I have 2 9' XH St Croix premier rods paired with 1 Diawa Lexa 400PG and 1 Diawa Lexa 400H, 1 Musky Innovations Monster Mag rod paired with the Diawa Lexa 400HS, and I have a Legend Tournament Big Nasty with no reel..what reel should I buy to complete the arsenal?

Go old school with a Shimano Bantam 500.
Bullet proof, super comfy in-hand, and still affordable on the bay.

You kinda got it covered. What do you throw? Since you already got the big nasty, it's probably going to be a Tranx. Question is PG or HG and that depends on your style of fishing.

I throw everything. I was thinking about getting the tranx hg because the lexa pg is better for slow rolling blades and big cranks at 27" per turn but the hg I could burn blades if I wanted

Yeah, I'd get something high speed whether its a tranx or Lexa or saltist.

Well I have the lexa400 hyper speed which is 7.1.1 for big rubber but no good for blades 37" per crank I think ill go with the hg tranx
