If you're going to do a casting test, this is how you do it...the amount of work to setup and capture everything is beyond the grasp of some other reel "reviewers"...and this is what sets your channel apart!
Another thing setting him apart from REEL TEST is that he doesent
Say mean things to fans, but these videos are also wonderfull
@@joakimvreb7654 it's pretty shocking that guy has "fans." Reads off the box, does some half assed casting tests...my 8yo niece can swing a rod better. Informational content is near zero.
Come on guys don't ya miss that great music, and about twenty more ads?
@@CookingandFishing i can’t tell if your being sarcastic
I’ve had my 200 about a year and a half now, it’s indestructible, I’ve abused the hell out of it salt and fresh, barely maintained and it and it’s still the same as the day I bought it. Absolute tank!!!
The attention to detail on everything you do is very admirable
"Some people that do these casting comparisons, they're not very transparent, they don't show you where that cast went" oh i see what you did there. We can all see who you're referring to lol
This is exactly why this guy is the best reel man on the internet.
I fish inshore and wind is always a factor. Mostly throw mirrodines ,spook jr and jigs that are probably 1/2 oz max total lure weight. I have found that the 2 brake-3 dial setting is my bread and butter.It allows distance in wind without too much if any thumb.Having said that I still love the old Curado E greens. I set them up 3 brakes out of six with tension adjusted proper and rock
on. I like watching test like this. Lot of time and effort. Great job.
Would love to see a comparison of 200 (size and dollar) and down saltwater casters. Lew’s custom inshore, Diawa Coastal, Tranx 200, etc. Great Channel btw, used links to purchase a few spinners so far
A lot of work and effort. Very detailed information. Thanks for uploading this.
Very informative. THE REEL TEST is elementary compared to this.
that guy couldn't hit a 30 yd target twice in a row...not in a million years lol
@@cyberreal1417 I mean I couldnt either lmao I can appreciate both sides of the review.
Been fishing 2 on with dial set to 5. 7'11" SLX H throwing the SP minnow 1 1/9 oz. Higher trajectory but absolutely bombs it out there. It's a keeper.
You answered my question about this real. I’m getting the 401. Vets with disabilities say with a Phenx rod combo it’s killer.
Thank you for this. I'm buying a Tranx 301AHG for my swimbait setup.
Nice size.
Thanks for a great vid. I have the full suit of Tranx reels and love them. What interested me and confirmed in a practcial sense for the 200 was the sweet spot of 2 & 2
That is where I fish my reel for 90% of my applications as it gives me a wide range when switching lures and the "Cast with confidence" feeling . E.g I go from 5 down to 1 on the dial and.leave the 2 brakes on..
I would prefer if you just said "that went far, that went far, that went short". This Reel Test is just too accurate and useful. And why would you do a Reel Test where you open the reel and show how it works? That doesn't make sense, a real Reel Test involves reading numbers and features off a box! Back to reality, another great video. Thanks for the effort it's super helpful all of your videos. I love my Tranx's and I'm not the biggest Shimano fan. The 200 caught roughly 300 Spanish Mackerel this year along with a 39lb Cobia. The 300HG is just a vertical jigging beast. More than a few snapper, grouper, Jack's, etc.
I see what you did there.... Lol
Great voice over for the perfect distance and nailcolour 😉
I got one its hella good, fish a lot of calico bass with it.
You got a keeper! Dealing with your casting distance nonsense lol. Great video brotha
Really good rewiev. Honest. Thanks, mate!
THERES A GHOST BEHIND YOU!!!!
His second me 😜
Wtf🤣
Great video brother!! Very informative!
Does show just how much the settings can play a role. I know several I've taught to use casting reels start off usually thinking that it doesn't really make a huge difference between two or three much less each individual.
One word.. DEDICATION.. thanks man this was an eye opening test..I would like to see this kind of a test with a metanium mgl
Lol thanks man...I don't know if I can go through another lol
Now abuse it on some saltwater strippers :). I have one that is used for local saltwater calico bass. Been holding up decent.
Abusing strippers will not only get your wife/gf mad, but will get you thrown in jail! Now, get out there and catch some stripers, LOL!!
I just bought a 200hg and a 400 Tranx. Testning the 200 on a Mojo bass swimbait rod today.
Sweet... That'll prove to be a sweet setup.... FYI heard a curado 300 coming in the next few months
This reel is simple and great for casting. Thanks for this video!!
This reel, however, I feel that the drag is rather weak somehow. Looking forward for you guys to do a drag test on reels again!
The number seems low (12-13lbs) I thought the same thing. But I have pulled up some enormous logs... I mean fish!
Great test! I’m saltwater fisherman and only one bait caster I have abu mag2z. Good to know how low profile bait casters work. I hope your treated your gf with nice lunch 🥗. Thanks
@tackle Advisors any comparison thoughts between the tranx 200 and the SLX DC for inshore salt
Thats my biggest debate right now so I have put my purchase on hold. Ugh I can't decide what to get based on the better product. I don't care about price difference. I wade fish so I may lean more towards the tranx idk.
Anything under 120 feet is shit in my area, I have new Lews Crush2 with 7’3” heavy rod and I average about 75 feet and maximum at 120’ and I can’t get a bite with it. Not a single fish cut. Is there’s anything on the market with 180 to 200 feet casting distance?
With your set up and if changing the line to a 12 lb fluorocarbon. Would there be a significant changes on the distance?
That’s funny you talk about clean casting and the wobble. The Jackall Riser lure acts the way.
I can dump my metanium DC with the larger riser and 12 sufix... They fly
The diameter of your line will affect your casting distance. It affects spool speed and diameter. When you have 10 pound line, you have more capacity on the reel, so 100 feet of 10 pound line will not affect the diameter of the spool as much as if you have 100 feet of 30 pound line. If the effective diameter of the spool of line stays more consistent, the spool speed will also be more consistent. But if you have larger diameter line, the spool will have to speed up faster to pay out the same amount of line, and that will affect your casting distance. Think about it on your spinning reels how a full spool casts farther than one not completely full. But in that respect there is more friction of the line leaving the reel than on a full spool.
really like the robot voice lol...but seriously u make really good informative videos...cool guy too
Hey are you going to do a review on the daiwa procyon lt spinning reel I'm wondering if that will beat out the fuego but it seems like the talk is about it is fixing the flex in its body but why no mag seel for a 160 dollar reel
Keep the fire vids coming please
off topic here but just recently watched your treble hook video. do you also have a good recommendation for split rings?
@tackle advisors what 300 size spool reel should I get for big swimbait fishing for bass? I was thinking a tranx or a curado 300 e, preferably in the 100-250 price range. Thanks for the help
New Lexa HD, Abu Revo beast 40, Tranx...In no specific order. The more and more I fish the revo. The more I like it.
Tackle Advisors thank you
did you find that the reel casted lights weights well
Great comparison of brake settings on casting distances. But, no information on how brake settings impact reel,over run..a.k.a bird nesting.
Did you ever figure out why the break keep moving back from 4 to 6?
I think it's the force of the brake weights impacting the friction ring... Not sure if a slight tightening of the screw securing the dial would benefit... Or make the dial tougher in general to turn.. But it is odd
@@TackleAdvisors when I was watching your video. Right when you have the problem about the breaking. I was drifting away into not buying it. I do have my curado k. Now I'm having second thoughts about buying a shimano tranx due to your experience on the video.
This is how the casting of a reel should be tested! Awesome. I miss some kind of wrap-up with the average numbers of the various settings listed? This would provide some good insight & guidance imo?
I have a spread sheet. I planned on doing this on 20 reels. I brought 6 to do that day... But it's too time consuming and boring lol
How can you compare it the Aldebaran bfs
Hi and thanks for another brilliant review!! I just wonder if anyone knows if the tranx 200 would be able to handle lures as light as 1/4-1/2 oz (7-15g)? Thanks!!
I own a 200. It throws that size lure fine, any lower then 1/4 can be tough with wind or a rod that doesn't load up for the cast. I regularly throw 1/4oz crankbaits without issues.
I had 20 lbs mono on mine w 2 breaks dial at 1 i could spool myself w 1cast not sure how long that was but i went down to 15 lbs
I apologize if you mentioned this is the video but for you on that particular reel, what you set it at for best for distance, accuracy and control of the spool. In other words what would you fish it at? Obviously lure weight and conditions will play a factor.
Contemplating between the tranx and the revo beast, however from your review and teardown, the abu seems to have some durability issue.
do you repair reels xD? i have a tranx 300 that has a button thats alittle too hard to press.
Can you elaborate on the comment about pr knots and uni knots?
@Tackle Advisors have you checked out Cadence CB8 Baitcast reel? It very similar to the shimano tranx 200 body and frame wise. Think it’d be a cool video to compare both reels, high dollar reel and a more budget beginner reel.
Hi . I need to explain and evaluate the fishing machine Daiwa Saltiga 8000 dogfight.. Is it worth buying or not
I'd say absolutely. Not a ton different than the standard saltiga. But a monster of a reel. I had the 4k and 5k and put some serious tonnage on em. And they were like new.
You called it what it is, a fishing machine!! I'm 90% conventional offshore but when I feel like spinning gear I use my Dogfight and it's a beast! Never owned the regular Saltiga, they very well could be the same and that's worry looking into for sure. I actually have the 8000 also and I've caught big sailfish on it so which is a real test of durability. Lots of spinning reels see one big sailfish and die but I've landed a handful of nice ones. I've seen videos of guys catching big GT on them and while I've never caught one they look like reel destroying fish. Great reel, VERY expensive.
Mine stays chilling with 2 pins on and the wheel between 3 and 5. Covers about everything. I don't put a whole lot into my casts. Just keep ya stuff loose and lob is how I roll. Just what I'm used to though. We all different.
What would be the best setting for lucky craft 110 sp minnow?
I just got one and its my first ever casting reel
It really depends on line type, diameter, rod actions and conditions. Best bet start high and go down... And keep the setting in your memory bank. Over time you'll be able to recognize what lure types throw best at certain settings in certain conditions
Hey if youre still wondering which is unlikely i throw 110s with spool tension mostly backed off so there is very little to no wobble, wheel brake on 1.5 and 2 spool brakes out.. i also throw it with 12lb mono topshot about 60 yds on 30lb braid
Any plans to revisit the Komodo 463 after you did some tuning to it?
Fun to see the numbers. After all that did she get her sandwich with tomatoes and mozzarella?
Did you ever figure out how to stop the side control from backing off?
Yeah... Don't use that setting lolol... Other than that no :)
Well done son .. well done !
I got my first well done son!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! 14,000,000 views and tens of thousands of comments and emails later.......It's finally happened!!!!!!!!! Thank you!!!!!!!! Yesssssssssssssssssssss!!!!
Thanks for the response Lmao .. love all your stuff .. ✌🏼
@@johnburge8468 no... Thank you!
So how you like the Levante compared to something like the newest Poison Adrena?
Weight and sensitivity beat the levante. But not by leaps and bounds. The levante is a smoking deal for 2 bills.
@@TackleAdvisors That is what i thought. You also get a longer warranty with MB
Hey Nick, can u feel someone is standing behind u thru out this video? question, any backlash with brake block set at 1?
I think I had an over run and crack off at one of the 1 settings this was done a few months back and can't recall which. I think it was at 1 3 and a bad cast
Awesome analysis. Do you have a chart showing all the figures? Bought a 200 TranX using your link and would like to be able to quickly tune using the figures.
I wish I was a chart sorta guy..... Sorry
@@TackleAdvisors No worries. It sounds like I can't "lose in the two's". I'll probably run it with 2 breaks on and 2 on the dial most of the time. I'd bump up to 3 or 4 on the dial if wind or heavy lure weight become a factor. Can't complain about 130-160 ft range for those settings...
That's a good start... At least that's what I've found to be the case on most svs infinity Shimano's
Would you recommend this or the daiwa coastal?
Tranx 200. Killer reel been using it for awhile now
@oliver cheng The old model coastal gets very grindy after a little while. I know two people who have had the same problem. I cant speak for the new coastal, im considering buying it because it seems like a pretty nice reel. My tranx has lasted over a year of hard use with no servicing. My buddies old coastals lasted around 2 to 3 months
Anyone know how far can tranx 200 cast for lure around 7g?
Ehhh... It'll do it... But if that's what you primarily plan on using.... I'd probably look elsewhere
@@TackleAdvisors OK...Any suggestion for alternative at that price range? Will be using it for saltwater
Is this reel perfect for Salmon fishing!? Need to cast those 1z blue foxes out far!
It's not a max distance reel but it'll throw fine. Is a 200 capacity the right choice...my friend spoons for steelhead in BC and uses Tranx 300's...Don't want to get deep into the spool on a cast then hook a streamer.....know what I mean.. I'd go up in size/ capacity.
@@TackleAdvisors ty, I have a tranx 300 and can't seem to cast my 1oz flying cs far...i left 2 brakes and still not as far as I would like it to go. Ty
How good is this vid, was that your missus helping you do the measurements?
Hey brotha! That's my fiance.......bless her heart for dealing with this....this was the second attempt too....there was a slight breeze on the first attempt so I scrapped everything. I'd like to do more but they're just so time consuming. The field work is only about 2 or 3 hours......no biggie...but the edit / render takes hours....
@@TackleAdvisors my other half is resistant to any of my fishing trips or anything of the sort now. Honeymoon period is over 🤣
Lol... Layla knew what she was gettin into with me after the first time she stepped foot in my house..... The look on her face was of shock horror and confusion... Not a room or table with out some evidence of fishing gear...... I look around as I type this and... Nothings changed lol
What in THE REEL TEST is this ?!!
Why does everyone assume that having the spool tension knob very loose gives the longest casts.
He doesn't set it loose, the way he setting it is call free spin, that's a difference between loose and free spin
@@owk6405 Is there any tension on the spool?
Why didn't you show the birds nest?
Great test, awesome reel and for Pete sakes get that girl a sandwich!
This thing is sold out everywhere
Great info, and scientific method, but even the Ghost of Casting Weights Past got bored and left part way through the video.
I got bored when out on the field and was falling asleep at the editor cutting and clipping... Which is why I never released it... Figured so much time went into it might as well put it out.
have you seen my baseball ?
Can anyone summarize for me? I'm not patient enough.
180-208ft casts when you get it dialed in
@@fantomphoenix6170 hi. at what setting is this at ? I' will be getting one soon.
@@chapasebastiano8 I’m guessing 2, that’s what I use, if you use 1 then you need to be very good with a bait caster
where is your face??!?!!?
Nice kiss..like🤭
Yes plz
I hear your girlfriend left you, what happened ?. Oh we were doing this youtube clip sinker came off hit her between the eyes.
Thats how I got away with not getting her the sammich... She forgot shortly after impact lol
