New Shimano Tranx

Larry Dahlberg of Hunt For Big Fish said, "Imagine a cross between a Curado and an army tank."

It looks like a Curado in a 500 size to me.  Based on how my 300 has performed against stripers and bluefish, I would be be very excited to try this new reel out on some tuna in the canyons. t^

 level wind + tuna = not so sure.

 although i have only ever had 1 level wind go south on me, it would need to be pretty beefy,,,,, 25lb drag max is  up there too
