Some great photos in there Alan - particularly the magnetic oil.
I also didn't realise just how big the Tranx was!
Cheers for posting, Justin

Yikes, I just loaded my wife's halibut reel with red powerpro (when your wife asks could we get pink line for one of the reels, instead of "what, you're buying more fishing line?", we also have green docklines to match the green top on the trophy)

Cool pics Alan...  
Love fishing Expo's... But get an Information overload when I go..
Just way to much to see, touch, feel and learn....
I usually leave shaking my head and wondering what I saw??   LOL

That Tranx is BIG!!   :o

Not a fan of the Power handle on Star drag reels.  
The offset weight of them 'Slams' the reel back into gear when you cast...

Tried them out on on My Revo & Toro reels (come with optional Power handles)..

Bad JuJu........  >:(

early review on the tranx appear to be mixed.  i wish they would have called it a curado 500 and stuck with the black handle grip,
