Best big level wind baitcaster period!
Fantastic reel for your big saltwater top water fish! Great drag and so smooth!

Just buy it
Puts big fish to sleep FAST and feels incredible. If you are on the fence about dropping $500 on a reel just do it, you will not be disappointed with the performance. I use the 500HG surf fishing and on jetties. Not really the designed use but there is nothing out of reach with a 60g DUO Drag Metal jig. Want to cast over the break with out wading with sharks? This’ll do it. Fish off a jetty and put monster Reds and Spanish to sleep, Fast? This’ll do it. Just buy this reel, I had It in my cart forever and finally just clicked buy now. Just click it, man. Just click it .

Smooth.
I love it, but it's a little heavier than I anticipated.

The alpha.
Love this reel, I was going to get a Trinidad 14a but the TRANX 500 hg is on par with it , no doubt about that, I also like the convince of a bait caster. And that exactly what this reel is . Just as beautiful and powerful. I personally put a Trinidad 20a handle on it for better Torque.

Great reel
Great reel for casting jigs and bombs for wahoo. I’ve also used it with great success casting poppers to small yellowfin tuna, and I’ve even landed a marlin with it from an anchored boat(released). Works so well I have 2 of them.
