I've respooled this reel three times now and have taken it out 3 times. The adjustment of the anti backlash is so touchy that 2 degrees of turn is the difference between won't cast and a cast that backlashes without heavy thumbing. If I didn't own a couple of stradics I'd never buy another shimano. This will definitely be a reel of last resort. The worst part is that it's mounted to a really nice rod. Maybe I'll try a coastal or squall.

I Love my Shimano Tranx 401A! Its my favorite baitcasting setup for big striped bass fishing here in Narragansett Bay! Durable smooth powerful reel. Crazy amount of line capacity and torque. I Liked it so much I bought 2!

Got this reel for my dedicated umbrella rig and occasional large swimbait rod. Put it through as good a test as I could a few days out in a good variety of conditions, especially wind. Very smooth reel. Very happy with it and I look forward to catching a lot of fish using it.

Love this reel! Purchased for Musky fishing, lined with 80 pound braid. The reel is exceptionally smooth, has performed flawlessly in the 1-2 months of use and has been 100% reliable. I've had good experience with Shimano reels in the past, and I hope and plan that in another 5-10 years, I will still be using and relying on this reel. Since I do limited musky fishing each year, the amount of use these reels should see on an annual basis is somewhat limited. Though I do plan to use them for pike fishing in the spring and fall on the lake I live on (which has only moderate sized pike).At the time I purchased this reel, I also purchased a Daiwa Lexa Winn 4000 Series, also for musky fishing. I got both reels to determine which brand I liked better - I ordered the ... MoreLove this reel! Purchased for Musky fishing, lined with 80 pound braid.

Though I do plan to use them for pike fishing in the spring and fall on the lake I live on (which has only moderate sized pike).At the time I purchased this reel, I also purchased a Daiwa Lexa Winn 4000 Series, also for musky fishing. I got both reels to determine which brand I liked better - I ordered the Daiwa in the higher torque/lower gear ration version. That reel arrived and upon first use, found it had a faulty thumb bar/clutch mechanism that 60% of the time prevented the spool/clutch/thumb bar to properly engage upon casting. Fortunately, I was fishing with a guide who is also a shop owner and authorized Daiwa dealer. Right off the bat, he said return it! Those are known problems with the Daiwa reels. We fished all day with his Daiwa reels and throughout the day found that a few of his Daiwa reels also had some clutch engagement issues. Sorry, but I am just not willing to rely on a problematic reel for my limited fishing time - that's why I've given up on the Daiwa Series reels (for musky fishing) and am sticking 100% with the Shimano Tranx Series.Now, after days and days of heavier lure casting and retrieving, some decent fish! I can say that I have been so impressed with the Shimana Tranx 400 (401 AHG) that I have ordered a second one in the 400 series (a 401A* - higher torque/lower gear ratio of the AHG version) as well as a Shimano Tranx 300 Series (a 301AHG*). * As a note, when the Shimano Tranx number ends in a "1", it means it is the left hand retrieve version of that model reel.I can highly recommend this reel. I prefer it with the power arm versus the paddle arm, but this is a matter of personal preference.
Not even 4 months in with some occasional inshore use but mostly freshwater and the thing sounds like a rusty wheelbarrow. I do all the right things like oiling only where I’m supposed to and washing it lightly with cold water after saltwater. I took it in to an experienced very popular repair shop twice and they couldn’t figure out why it squeaks. Guess that’s what I get for not sending it in to the overlords at shimano.
I would highly urge anglers that use heavy baits to give this a shot. Its been advertised and shown time and time again that the Tranx is a staple in the heavy bait category. I love the single handle, and fast gear ratio. I have mine on an Abu Veritas 7' 9" Heavy and it throws 3 oz baits with ease. Feathering the spool on this is not as easy than on a smaller profile reel, but with a few meters under a full spool, you can control the spool easier. Casts a mile and the drag is SMOOTH. The bearings inside are very high quality and I inspected them when I picked up the reel and as one could imagine from Shimano, the internals are gorgeous. Very clean and precise. Its worth every penny.
I only use this reel for a couple days a year musky fishing for 4 years. Shortly after catching one the level wind started jamming. I have 2 300 tranxs', and a 500 which have been fine. Probably won't be buying anymore after the bad experience with the 400. Really screwed up my one musky trip I'm able to make this year.
The Shimano Tranx 400 is a great reel, reliable, easy to use, strong drag system. I purchased for Musky fishing - running 80 pound braid with flouro leader. I've thrown lures up to 8 ounces (so far) with the reel, it's worked reliably and well, though my use so far has been limited since it is relatively new. At the same time I purchased the Tranx, I also purchased a Daiwa Lexa 400 WN reel - with the Daiwa having a little bit more torque versus the higher speed of the Shimano 401AHG (which has a higher speed gear ration - with results in lower torque). The Daiwa reel arrived faulty, the thumb bar which controls the free spool and clutch operation malfunctioned on about 65% of casts. I fished with a guide who used and sold Daiwa reels and he suggested I return it ... MoreThe Shimano Tranx 400 is a great reel, reliable, easy to use, strong drag system.

The Daiwa reel arrived faulty, the thumb bar which controls the free spool and clutch operation malfunctioned on about 65% of casts. I fished with a guide who used and sold Daiwa reels and he suggested I return it immediately as it is faulty and that the Daiwa Lexa reels are prone to having this problem. When fishing with him for a full day, using his Daiwa reels, I experienced a slightly different but similar problem with his Daiwa reels (the thumb bar and clutch would engage in mid cast!). Since the Shimano had zero issues, I replaced the Daiwa with another Shiman Tranx, this other one in the lower gear ratio to replace the higher torque I was hoping to get out of the (returned) Daiwa reel. I've been so impressed with the Shimano Tranx reels, that I now have two in the 400 series and have just purchased a Tranx 300 series as well. Couldn't be happier.As for buying from FleetFarm! I was a bit concerned in doing this, having never ordered from their online site before and needing my product (reel) to arrive in time for a fishing trip. I was familiar with FleetFarm (having grown up in Wisconsin). I was thrilled with Fleet Farms handling and processing and shipping of my order. Not only did they have this hard to find reel, but the entire transaction was flawless and I was quite impressed. I will definitely order from Fleet Farm again when the product that I am seeking is offered by them at a competitive price.
Great reel. Casts smooth. Just don't like that I have to grab onto the reel handle and apply a decent amount of pressure to reingage the reel after casting. I fish right handed, so I cast with my right arm. Comparing it to the curado 300 and concept A3, these reels I can cast with the right arm and engage the reel with just my fingers of my right hand while the rod is still in my casting arm. With the tranx, I have to swap the rod to my left hand and then engage the reel.
This reel came highly recommended and it hasn’t disappointed! I paired it with my 8’6” heavy Mojo muskie rod and love it! Since this purchase, I’ve paired the Tranx 301 with my 8’6” med-heavy Premier muskie rod, and a Tranx 201 to my 7’3” med-heavy Fenwick bass rod. I’m now deciding on which Tranx reel to mount to my 7’6” Triumph heavy muskie rod. The 400 seems the right choice for heavy bait, however the 300 feels better on the rod, and it in my hand. Their is a considerable size difference between the two! Not so much of a weight difference. I’ll likely go with the 301 because it will also pair up nicely with other bass rods…. Their pricey! But I like them!!!
