Daiwa Lexa 300
Looking to pick up a pair of fluking reels to be matched with a pair of Shimano Compre Muskie rods (both 7' but one a H action & the other MH) that I picked up at Jersey Hooker over the winter. Mainly going to be bouncing bucktails with them.
Thinking of going with the Daiwa Lexa 300 with power handles. I'm also thinking of going with the lefty version even though I'm right handed). I prefer the 6.3:1 gear ratio models as opposed to the 7:1 models. Any feedback, thoughts ?

Re: Daiwa Lexa 300
You will be real happy with that LEXA 300HSL-P
I believe Rich has them in the store, I don't know if he has 2 lefty give him a call. I picked up the lefty last year only used it a few times and I like it.

Re: Daiwa Lexa 300
Yes, I spoke with Rich on Saturday. Once he gets the store up & running, I'm planning on bringing the rods in and placing the Lexa on both to get a feel.
Do you really feeling the HS (higher gear ratio) is necessary for fluking ?

Re: Daiwa Lexa 300
You'll love it for fluking and even a good blackfish reel. But you may consider getting the lower speed. The 7.1 I felt doesn't have the power needed to bring up 8+oz and a decent sized fish. I think one of our sponsors was offering the lower speed ratio with the single power handle.

Re: Daiwa Lexa 300
It's my favorite Andy & will soon be yours too. I use the lefty version for bucktailing so when I cast righty i don't have to keep switching hands back and forth.
On the Compre the entire setup will weigh less than one pound - no problem jiggin' all day  Thought I had Flukasaurus on it last year when a head shaking beast was fighting me straight up & down. Those heads shakes turned out to be wings flapping - a 40+ pound cow-nosed Ray that the Lexa bested in no time. I have the High Speed model and use it for everything but Tog. The lower gear model is probably better (there's a new 5.1:1 model) and the factory Power Handle works great. I got it from one of our sponsors who matched an Internet price - have at it

Re: Daiwa Lexa 300
I liked them until I fished the Abu Revo NACL . the Revo is a WAY nicer reel but also more expensive.
I have 2 Lexa 300 that are just about brand new, I may soon be selling. if you want PM me an offer

Re: Daiwa Lexa 300
These outfits are basically going to be back-ups, so I don't feel the need to spend a lot. I might just buy one and ask for the second as a Father's Day gift.
Dan, do yours have the power handle & lower gear ratio ?
