Testing the New Daiwa LEXA HD 300 40lb. Setup - Locked Drag - Jigging Pelagics Offshore 

👌Appreciate it man

I appreciate it. Yeah, northwest Florida.

Thanks bro, it's a Daiwa Proteus Spiral wrapped MH

Thanks and welcome to the channel. I would go up to the heavier reel, but more importantly a heavier rod. The rod power is going to be the bigger factor in regards to jig weight. The setup featured has a medium heavy rod and that's a 120 gram jig. When I run 250g it's on a heavy at minimum.

@@ScottMikles Thanks Scott

found answer earlier in comments but what #. thanks

Nice video. It really showed me what the reel can do. Bought one last week. Excited to put it to work.

If you can find a tranx in stock, that's always your best bet. I own a tranx 200 and it's a monster of a reel.

imo the lexa 400 tw casts much more comfortably than the tranx 500

Not at all, she's smooth as silk. It's a welcomed feature as far as I'm concerned.

Thanks man. I’m gonna be jigging 450-900’ with it. Do you think I need a longer handle than the stock handle with the hyper speed for more torque?

​@@ScottMikles having it is probably better than not having it

Reeling with my left hand is something I've done since I was a little kid. I throw with my right hand so casting with it feels more natural and so does fighting fish with my dominant hand. Just how I've always done it. Also, I don't have to cast then switch the rod to the other hand to retrieve.

When jigging it's normally between 70 and 130ft.

@@ScottMikles im so into lexa 300. I wanna buy one. Good luck in your fishing adventures and keep safe.

@@KoyPinks me too, the Lexa is so capable and fun to fish with. It's a great reel. Thanks, you too. I'll see you around neighbor.

@@ScottMikles what fish finder are you using>?

@@KoyPinks That's a SIMRAD XSE 09.

Thats a Daiwa Proteus MH spiral rod. Sick, right?

I usually use it for jigging, but yes, casts great.

Absolutely

That's the one👌

@@ScottMikles thanks 👍🏼

Indeed, it does by standard. I like flirting with that line where the gear is too light to keep it sporting. That being said, this setup wouldn't keep a real big one out of structure.

That's a Daiwa Proteus MH 7 6" spiral wrapped conventional jigging rod
