Location: Duluth, MN | Yo the guys who own and use them, how much worse are they to palm than conventional round reels. I have the opportunity to pick one up at a great price and would love the input.
Thanks! |

| I don't think they are bad to palm at all, but I'm on the big side. I love the one I have |

Location: Eagan, MN | No, there is a noticeable difference in comfort, just not enough for me to justify $500 at this time. I'll give my 700te another season and think about it some more. If I didn't already have the 700te, I would buy the tranx. |

| You will need a pair of bear paws to palm the 700TE. Great reel for power and moderate speed though. Not exaggerating, it makes 13s feel like mush. Also great late season reel, the power grinds through the ice. |
