I was fishing with my XH St Croix and Shimano Tranx 300 Throwing big rip bait for striper at pyramid lake California. Cold morning and could not fish without my gloves, Made the first cast and boom, here no drag at all. Like it doesn't meant to be anything such drag in fishing reel, Makestory short I changed my set up and back home, try it and it has drag like mother. I hear the same thing about a YouTube had the same issue with tranx 300.
Anyone around know what is the problem with tranx reels? is it because of cold weather? or a bad batch?
