Hi Larry. Great show.
I have two questions:
I have done as much homework on the Internet as information is available on the Tranx. Being I live in MN, I went to Thorne Bros and had both of the Tranx you were using in my hand. I asked the person assisting me which reel would be the best for a weekend warrior. I get to muskie fish every other weekend and have an "indoor" job so my muscles are not in as good of shape as say a carpenter or bricklayer. I currently have two (2) Calcutta TE 400s and want to increase speed to burn #10 cowgirls. The Thorne Bros rep said whenever you have the choice between power or speed, always pick speed.
My first question is what is your recommendation of which reel to purchase; power or speed?
I picked up a 2009 Ranger Z520 August 1 and just before Labor day I purchase a XH Predator 9' from Thorne Bros. Then labor day weekend I broke my collar bone and wasn't able to go muskie fishing for the rest of the year. So question #2 is can you confirm that this rod is a good rod for the Tranx and burning #10 cowgirls?
Thanks for your recommendations.
Don
