YellowTail fishing with Daiwa Lexa reel 

Must have felt heavy! TY

It’s an awesome reel. Aesthetically great as well. What rod do you pair it up with?

​@@AnhNguyen6 My Lexa 400 PWR is on a Seeker SSR 810-8T with a trigger grip rated 20-40lb. I swear that blank puts a hurting on big fish. I have my high speed Lexa on a 90J for throwing jigs as far as I can.

@@svvamprat22 what do you think of the 8.1 do you wish you got a different ratio or is that one fine?

@@tonito6197 I pretty much retired it for my Lexa 400 PWR now.

@@svvamprat22 so do you wish you got a different gearing or no because I wanna get some but I feel like I won’t be able to pull on fish fast enough I’m 16 should I get a 8.1 or the 7.1

Agreed yardage for yellows you won’t be catch much on that reel that’s over 50 so I’d drop to that and keep the 20 yards of mono leader to put less stress on the rod. Great vid tho and tight lines

Not a big fan of the rod if you're going for yellow or tuna I'd recommend a heavier rated rod. Plus the m1 reel holder is difficult to twist open.

Check out the Phenix axis 780MH it’s rated 20-40lb and is a beast

Nice ! That thing can handle some big boys If your pair it with the right rod!

It’ll work just fine. But comfort wise I’d recommend going to a tackle shop and try it on.

@@AnhNguyen6 Cool..thanks for the advice. Its a trip my friend.just said here u like to fish. Oh its rated 15-30

Shimano teramar are good rods. I haven’t used a piscifun reel before so I don’t know the accurate specs on it to give my opinion. 40lb class tuna and yellowtail is no joke. You might want to ask the Deck hand to dial the drag in for you. In my opinion , correct drag is the key to landing the fish . Good luck and hope you have fun fighting those boys!

@@AnhNguyen6 Thank you!!

Piscifun Alijoz 400 is your best bet for the money

Yep, it’ll be just fine to do so!

I am right handed but it feels more natural for me when i reel with my left. BUT from experience, when you are using bigger conventional reels, you want to crank with your stronger arm ( right for me) especially for yellow tail / tuna. In general i use left hand to reel with all my small bait casters and spinning reels. If you watch my other video for the tuna, youll notice i am using right handed reels because those are for the bigger fish. hope this helps.

@@AnhNguyen6 I’ve done some salmon and halibut trolling with smaller conventionals and right felt good but I never tried left so I was just curious. Makes sense though thanks for the response!

This is an overnighter trip. So you leave the dock at 10pm and come back by 7 pm the following day.

I don't remember the exact number, but most likely almost all the way to the top with room for your leader.

@@AnhNguyen6 aaa.. ok thanks'

Its been 3 years and haven't serviced it at all. Caught Lot of fish on it. It's a great reel. Gonna service it after this summer though.

@@AnhNguyen6 what do you mean service it? What are they going to do to it?

@@Yakplanet_tv mainly making sure the internal parts are cleaned and lubricated and making sure your drags are not slipping or jerks.

I have bought 2 300hd lexa I'm thinking about getting a 400hd where can I find a place that sells for a little cheaper?
