Tranx 150/200 are similar to Curado K, although there are differences.  Tranx only uses bearings where it's necessary and bushings everywhere else.

A friend of mine likes to use swimbait rods in the surf/jetty to throw plugs.    Out of the Tat 150, Curado k and Tranx 200, Tranx was the only reel didn't eventually develop a problem. The Curado had issues with the drag as did the Tatula, among other problems.  Hes not easy on his gear. but that kind of environment is hard on BCs.
