Lexa HD by Daiwa, strurdy, heavy duty, affordble reel for a variety of boated fishing techniques

The Lexa HD by Daiwa is the classic example of a product that finds its place in the store due to market demands as much as the passion we have on this page for some types of fishing.

It was really missing a good casting reel, powerful, fast and robust, be able to match those slow jigging, inchiku, kabura or even soft plastics rods, or, if you want to switch to the dark side, live bait fishing. The Lexa HD by Daiwa fills that gap and allows us to offer our tribe of fishing “locos” a product at an affordable price and strong characteristics.

The Lexa HD by Daiwain size 300 is already a good beast, you can fit 180 meters of 0.28mm that translated into braided is a hefty 40 pounds, that is, if we put a 30lb, more suitable for them, it swallows a entire 300yds Tuf Line XP spool, which is not a bad start. If we pick the size 400 we can load 280 meters of 0.35mm that translates into more than a 50lb, make your numbers.

What makes us freak out is the drag that these reels offer, more than 10 kg. Let's see, this is what a tropical reel had until a few years ago, and the Lexa HD by Daiwa wear a star drag that certainly is not the one that could develop the greatest pressure. If we consider that we will use these reels especially with braids from 30 to 50 pounds we realize that we have drag to spare.

Let's finish with the ratio to which the Lexa HD by Daiwa rolls, a whopping 8.1: 1, quickie we would say the least. It is what we need friends, whether we slow jig or we drop inchiku and softies, this ratio, despite a less wide spool compared to a spinning reel of equal capacity, is what we need to never lose control of the lure, feel the most subtle bite and even tug the most complicated quarries from the bottom, a grouper or a dentex. By the way, these reels all have oversized mechanism, they will not leave us down during a good fight.

All the technical specifications are down here, we have stroked them both and got a very good feeling, the Lexa HD by Daiwa have come to stay, and they will help you fish a lot.
