In a recent video I bumped the Daiwa LEXA 300 up to 40lb. braid. In this video I go test it against some of the strongest pound for pound fish in the ocean, the Greater Amberjack.
*I love it **enjoyable.fishing** recommend I’m using it for my 1.0 Crankbaits and small Jerkbait. Paired with my Assassin. Works great, feels great. Would definitely recommend this setup.*
This is awesome! Keep up the good work!
I'll definitely be trying this with my Lexa!
You have good fish fighting form!
Awesome gear. Nice vid, mate. Cheers
👌Appreciate it man
Awesome dude. Love me some vertical jigging!
Very versatile reel. 👍
I have that setup. Swap out to a T bar power handle and its a game changer
Just got this reel what rod would you go with? Would like to do some bay fishing from the yak.
What is the gear ratio on that reel?
At 40lbs how many yards?
Can you tell me the specs an de name of the rod you used for this video ??? Please.
What rod specifications pair with this reel?
Sup with that noodle rod lol
Subscribed after watchin .. I purchased a lexa 300hd recently so this vid was perfect.... but wat OH rod were u usin...
Apakah daiwa lexa 300 Bisa untuk mancing teknik casting..???
You've been putting out good content man 👍 you guys based out of Florida?
I appreciate it. Yeah, northwest Florida.
What rod?
Put DA HURT On DeM NeXT TIME my buddy landed a Tuna on a 300 too a while but got it inn WoRK DAT CoMBO NeXT TIME🤙🤙🤙
i recently got a lexa 300. what rod are you using?
How deep u guys go
What pole is that set up with? Great video!
Thanks bro, it's a Daiwa Proteus Spiral wrapped MH
Just subscribed, excellent content. Would you be comfortable with jigs up to 250gram on the Lexa 300 or would you move up to the Lexa 400?
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
Hey Scott. Does the level wind on the lexa HD affect your jigging in anyway? Been thinking of getting the 400 hyper speed for deep water slow pitch jigging
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
look at the bend in that rod! so SICK! what rod is that? got to ask.
found answer earlier in comments but what #. thanks
Are you a leftie or are you a rightie using a left hand reel on purpose. If so, does using a leftie work better for jigging?
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.
I'm torn between the lexa 400 TW or the Tranx500 hg.
Looking to invest in a bigger/stronger musky reel for casting that will last.
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
Where is this at. Great catch
Nice video. It really showed me what the reel can do. Bought one last week. Excited to put it to work.

HandleEVA…. Is this the same rod?
Do u recommend that same reel for rocfishing ??
Absolutely
Can u cast far or is it more for jigging
I usually use it for jigging, but yes, casts great.
how deep is the water? New neighbor here.
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.

That's the one👌
@@ScottMikles thanks 👍🏼
Need a heavier rod.
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.
QUpq
What rod is that tho?
That's a Daiwa Proteus MH 7 6" spiral wrapped conventional jigging rod
