Its a great reel choice for anything from saltwater fishing to muskie fishing or any application where you need a larger, low-profile reel. There are a lot of opportunities with this reel in Florida, where anglers are fishing big swimbaits and bucktails for snook.

This reel can be used for everything from yellowtail to calico bass; there are even guys fishing bluefin tuna with it. Then there are the bass and stripper markets, where the reel fits perfectly. This Lexa reel has a double paddle handle.

Features:

• Eva Knob - Delivering enhanced angler comfort and contact, EVA knobs provide optimum contact in wet conditions.


• Magforce -Daiwas first iteration of the famous magnetic cast control system, Magforce, is a spool braking system designed to slow the rotational speed through a dialed magnetic control.


• Swept Handle -Daiwa's exclusive swept handle moves the paddles closer to the rod's centerline. The result is less wobble of the rod and reel in your hand as you crank. That means less wasted energy and a more powerful retrieve.


• Ultimate Tournament Drag (UTD) - Utilizes impregnated carbon discs with proprietary Daiwa DSG505 grease. The effective drag power is considerably increased compared to normal drag systems. The advantage is the reduced start-up resistance of the drags, which provides a smooth and steady feel.
