What do you really need

Best for Big Swimbaits: Shimano Tranx 300 B Pros Durable and reliable Very little flex Smooth Solid gearing to handle thousands of casts with big baits On-the-fly braking adjustment Cons Power handle is not ideal for working a glide Key Features Gear Ratios: 5:8:1 and 7:6:1 Weight: 12.2 ounces (7:6:1) Mono Capacity: 230 yards of 12 pound, 180 yards of 14 pound, 150 yards of 17 pound One-piece, aluminum construction SVS Infinity MD Tune braking system Price: $300 The Shimano Tranx is well known for being an excellent saltwater and freshwater baitcaster, but after over a decade of service it was due for an upgrade

The proven Loomis track record for technique-specific excellence makes this a solid choice for those who prefer a full cork handle and want extreme accuracy

I like the sturdy construction and heavy-duty hooks to put maximum pressure on a brawling bass
