Propster is a great person to touch base with. He really helped me out. If you need a real for big rubber and large baits, the reel is great. It also would be good for smaller blades. BR

I'm thinking the Tranx is just going to be too big for my hands, my Saltist 20 already has my hand aching after a day of using it. So I was thinking perhaps a 400D for blades and then a 400D with 300 gears or NACL HS for everything else. Course all of this requires a lot of money so it would be slowly accrued, perhaps 1 new rod and reel by next season.

Hold the foregrip. Problem solved. You have more hook setting power and figure 8 transition is smoother.

I think "power" on the hookset is overrated with 9 foot rods, 100lb line, and sharp hooks. Perhaps speed and the quickness of the snap is more important. Some pretty good videos on here I believe from this type of discussion in years past. I stick with palming reels to improve my hooksets and success rate. BR
