Daiwa Lexa 500H Left-Handed Casting Reel LX500HL-P for Heavy-Duty Fishing

Lexa 500H Left Handed Reel - LX500HL-P

The Lexa family of reels just got stronger with the Lexa 500, a high-performance addition that embodies the same values of precision, power, and reliability that have made Lexa reels a favorite among discerning anglers. Built on the same legacy of excellence, the Lexa 500 features a lightweight yet robust aluminum frame and sideplate, providing a durable foundation for tackling the toughest fishing applications. At its core, the Lexa 500 boasts Daiwas renowned MAGFORCE LC-Concept spool and MAGFORCE braking system, designed to optimize casting distance and accuracy with a wide range of lures or live bait while preventing backlashes.

Features:

• EVA KNOB: Delivered 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 dialled magnetic control.


• SWEPT HANDLE: Daiwas exclusive swept handle moves the paddles closer to the rods centerline. The result is less wobble of the rod and reel in your hand as you crank. That means less wasted energy - a more powerful retrieve.


• ULTIMATE TOURNAMENT DRAG (UTD): Utilizes impregnated carbon drag 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, providing a smooth and steady feel.
