Daiwa Lexa Hd 300 Hs-P Review & Prorex Gear Test

[@oldfishbottomgettingfishy1124]

So hyped to see you reppin Diawa. I’ve been praising them for years. You’ve come a long way from the dirty scuffed up content in the past. I love you buddy proof is in the pudding.

[@TaroMurata]

Slowly but surely lol xoxo 👊

[@aaroncase197]

Love my lexa LC 300 switched over to 4 this year for my salmon setups wasn’t cheap but well worth it so smooth and everyone that comes in my boat loves them! Good review Taro love you doing a Real review

[@TaroMurata]

Do you have the 300s with a line counter? I heard you can cast well with the 300 lc. That sounded pretty dope to me.

[@aaroncase197]

@@TaroMurata ya they are super sweet alittle slower then your 6:3:1 but still fast love them and still small enough to palm

[@TaroMurata]

Mint bro.

[@nicholasbenson1639]

Taro you should get a pair of gortex airforce ones they look clean and your feet won't get wet in the boat

[@TaroMurata]

Sounds like I need those. I’ll check em out for sure! Can I get em on Nike ID?

[@nicholasbenson1639]

@@TaroMurata I just got mine on the nike website they in stock x too tho

[@primetimeangling9803]

I had no idea it was the power handle causing my reel to engage I couldn't figure it out. Thanks for the info.

[@TaroMurata]

Big time. I have so many good reels that are great minus their power handles... if you breathe the wrong way on certain casts they just engage or half engage so annoying... this Lexa has the most awesome handle. I think they just made it super light so the problem just never happens 😃🍗🍗🍗🍗🍗👍

[@johnny1ongba11s]

Couldn’t agree more. That reel is outstanding for the 💰.

[@TaroMurata]

@@johnny1ongba11s you would know... such a gear master.

Taro “Knows His Stuff & you’ll Catch Fish”. He’ll teach you Everything You Need To Know. Picked up 24lb Salmon earlier today. Thanks & looking forward to fish again; Booked Taro end of October. Way to Go !!!!! Steven

[@TaroMurata]

You’re so clutch bro. Unreal last minute catch! Xoxo Tm

[@Wieber84]

Thinking of getting a size’d up setup for pike/Muskie without going crazy money wise will check into this option thanks!

[@TaroMurata]

This is the ideal set up then 💯

[@TaroMurata]

The rod is so mint too. This MH though has slightly softer tip section than a st. Croix mh. I’m loving it. It’s filling some gaps in my line up. I can’t wait to try the H and XH!

[@pinkadam8989]

I got a lexa 301 HD. Love it so much. Caught all but one of my musky on it. Even bottom bounce the lower niagara for trout with it

[@TaroMurata]

That’s pretty sick that you’re bottom bouncing with it too

[@ryansavel5705]

Another reel that a good price point that I found it high quality the the Abu Garcia C4, got mine on sale at Cabelas for like $165 and its one of the most solid and quality feeling reel I've ever casted

[@TaroMurata]

Yeah tough and basic. Just the handle comes loose on them. But I put some locktight on the screw and so so far good

[@Lurtz14301]

Awesome review Taro. I’ve thought about getting one of these and this was very helpful. Still on the fence about this or the new Tatula 300 though.

[@TaroMurata]

What’s the other options in the same catagory? I’m very happy with this one so far. Just so easy for anglers of all levels to use. A very important point that I should’ve mentioned for sure. Ive taught so many first timers and this one seems to give them the least problems in terms of “birds nests” lol

[@Lurtz14301]

@@TaroMurata pretty much just those 2. Would consider the older Lexa Winn 300 if I got a great deal on it too. I already have a Tranx 300 and I do really like it but wanna get a second pike and light musky rig.

[@TaroMurata]

Got ya. Don’t think I’ve tried the older Lexa Winn. Best this one is mint so far. Definitely great for the lighter baits to mid sized baits. I think I’d go up to the 400 for the big big stuff though.

[@Lurtz14301]

@@TaroMurata yeah I agree. I rarely throw big stuff but I would also like a 400 for the biggest size savage gear burbot swimbait. It’s not easy throwing down 500$ for a combo that you will use 1-2 times a year though haha.

[@Vanbrusa]

Daiwa makes great reels. I love my Tatula. BTW I noticed you're using a left handed bait caster. Are you usually left or right handed? I'm right handed in everything but reeling with my left feels so much better. No passing the rod from hand to hand after casts. And it leaves me to control the rod with my predominate hand. I have no idea why so many people use right handed bait casters. What do you think about that?

[@TaroMurata]

I use both. I kinda like right handed for stuff like Crankbaits and spinnerbaits liplesss etc. But for anything with slack line fishing or with pauses I like my strong hand on the rod most times. ( I’m right handed ). I like the right handed retrieve handle side when I need to feel the blades, wobble or vibration through the handle.

[@TaroMurata]

Not sure if I’ve tried that one. Is that an older model?

[@jeremytheobald2978]

@@TaroMurata its the 300 line counter version. Its double duty as a great trolling reel but I find it really castable too.

[@TaroMurata]

Oh sick. I was thinking about using this one for flatlining salmon where a line counter wasn’t a big factor. Do they still make that one?

[@jeremytheobald2978]

@@TaroMurata its been great trolling for salmon and lake erie walleye. Limited stock, t I have a feeling the model is being replaced or fazed out? They were on clearance all 2020.

@@TaroMurata has a clicker too

[@sooleyoutdoors2728]

very informative. could be my next set up next season. thanks.

[@TaroMurata]

It’s 💯 mint. Just east to use. I forgot to mention a key thing about the rod... the trigger position on the reel seat forces you to keep your hand and arm in perfect fishing form. And that’s a huge thing for me when I’m guiding or teaching someone... one missed bite because of poor form can cost an angler a fish of a lifetime.

Awesome looking product Taro! Looks like we need to get a couple of those Daiwa Lexa Hd 300HLS-P's for @bassmastertom and @bigbassbobby. Anything that is rated 10/10 Swiss Chalet dipping sauces, is a great product in my opinion!
