I would also like to give you my personal take on Daiwa Lexa 100 baitcasting reels. Stay tuned on this as well! Generally impression, it's pretty solid. Thanks to the aluminum side plates. The paint on it seems to be more resistant to scratching (I hate scratches on reels!).
Found a forum that has the Daiwa Lexa 300 taken apart. Very interesting. Too bad they are using too much plastics near the main shaft...

Today I was at a local fishing store and looked at the new Daiwa DXS series rods. I especially looked at the 8-12lb and 8-17lb 9' rods. I don't know. I guess it's a bargain considering the price, but they seems a little bit under-rated rods. What I mean is the 8-17lb feels like a 10-20lb, next step up rod. It has pretty good size butt section. The sensitivity... imagine a good sensitive rods is like listening music in a room where the music is playing, these rods feel like I was listening the same music in another room. I don't know how to describe it. It is what it is. For the price they have pretty good warranties.
ReplyDeleteDaiwa 300 is a heavy and awesome reel! If you are looking for something you can cast long distance, you may want to get it a try. If you want to bunk your fish... you might want to give it a try too. If you are a bankie like me, give the Daiwa Lexa 100 a try (4oz lighter)!
ReplyDeleteHave not tried the Lexa 100HSL yet. I think I will save it for pinks season next year. But the Mean Green 20lb mono has been great! It's super strong and with minimal line memories. Highly recommend it for spinning reels. Maybe it's also great for baitcasting reels, I just haven't tried it.
