This is one of my favorite kinds of videos, gear related. I bought a Daiwa Lexa HD 300 HSL-P and I take it to the limits on a number of pelagic species in the Gulf. Such a great time vertical jigging, if you haven't done it, go give it a shot. So much fun, it's amazing it's legal.
Subscribe to the channel, I enjoy seeing the community grow. I want to build a group of anglers and viewers that appreciate wildlife and the outdoors as much as I do. And get as out of their mind stoked about it.
Leave any ideas or maybe tests you'd like to see done with rods and reels.
Be Safe during these wild times. Thanks for watching.

11:45 You work a rod like a champ, bro.
I can’t believe that little Diawa Tatula held up that’s a bass rod. I love my Lexa HD 300 I have it on a Shimano Teramar XX SE and it’s a killer setup. Nice video
That’s monster bass set up lol😊
learning so much of this video, when im hooked on on the lexa or spinning reel i keep the handle down and work the right hand on the rod (on a left hand reel), i see you get the handle up. I'll try that
The slow pitch game is like fishing with dynamite lol, I’m a believer! Another good video 🤙🏽
Awesome video bro! This totally just hyped me up! Getting that reel and wanted to learn more and here i am! 🔥🔥🔥
Literally came to this video because I’m about to get one and I wanted to see it put to the test first and this video helped a lot!
Lol when you said 30g I knew at that moment . That hook was thrashed.
It never had a chance.
Beautiful combo 😍
Nice video I'm getting this fishing reel this weekend what is the difference between HD and the low profile? Which one is easier to use thanks.
Good job 🤠👍👍👍👍
Where are you fishing? Looks so nice out there!!!
Are you left handed? I have mostly spinning rods and one bait caster in a 150 size that’s also left handed but I felt more comfortable with a right handed conventional reel when salmon fishing. I’m planning on getting the Lexa 400 but I’m still not sure to get a left or right hand retrieve. Thanks in advance!
What Size is the rod I didn't catch it on the video...just bought the same reel but I use a goofishing rod 6'6
Awesome bro, love catching them on light tackle like that.
great video man. Your enthusiasm was crazy.. I'm looking at the same reel. I'm right handed but a bit confused as to the left/ right handed model. What would you suggest?
Traditionally baitcaster reels are right hand crank and generally spinning reels are left hand crank. This Lexa HD offers one model that's left handed, HSL-P, high speed left handed with power knob. My suggestion, try both and go with what feels better. It's purely a preference thing.
@@ScottMikles thank you!
@@ScottMikles Hey mate, I’m from Australia and for some reason Daiwa Australia doesnt sell the left hand model in the 400tw. Just wondering if you think the 300 or 400 in left hand would be better for a pe4-5 setup? Thanks
@@kizzjd9578 hey brother, I've got pe 4 on my 300 and it's perfect. Can max the drag out and not break. It breaks the pe 3.
@@ScottMikles awesome, is the 400 reel much bigger than the 300? Ive got a 300tw lefty with pe3 but want a reel with pe5.
I’ve got the same reel and was curious how well it would handle red snapper. What’s are the specs on that rod?
I’ve read the rest of the comments. Looks like you’ve answered the rod question plenty of times. I’m pairing the reel with a medium heavy 10-20 custom. It’s been great to sling bigger swimbaits for bull reds. I’m going to take it jigging for snapper.
Great vids 👌 what's the model on that rod
That the Daiwa Tatula Elite Signature Series in MH
@@ScottMikles what size rod 8 foot?
What line rating is your rod? I have a similar setup Daiwa Lexa WN 300 HS paired with a Phenix M1 inshore series line rated 15-30lb. I wanted the 400 as an all around bass/bonito/yellowtail setup but went with the 300. Think itll work out?
You went with a much lighter rod. Mine is rated for 40 to 80lb braid. The 300 is a tank. I have 30lb braid on it and haven't broken off once yet, knock on wood. Will be changing it to 40lb braid soon.
Your rod will be much lighter. And it depends on the application if it'll work out, what you're targeting.
@@ScottMikles so i could upgrade to a heavier rod and itd work just fine? Thats cool I never knew! Still new to this so glad to learn bro! Thanks for the info
@@ScottMikles also whats the difference when it says Line: 15-30 and Braid 40-80 like yours?
@@natebeefy Sometimes rods and reels give the mono rating and the braid rating. When it has two sets that's normally the case. I'm assuming, medium power?
@@ScottMikles i think it said medium heavy and taper action is extra fast. Whatever that means hahaa
what rod is that you paired that reel with, looking into getting this reel. would you still recommend this reel or is there something better out there now?
It's a Daiwa Tatula signature series. This is still a reel to get. If you're interested I'll sell you this combo. I have two now.
@@ScottMikles how much? I like my stuff new though haha and what about the prorex, is that salt water approved? Oh just found out the 300 tw is out!?
Was looking at one of these for saltwater, something i can use inshore to drag big snook out of heavy structure, and that i can turn around and go offshore and drag some smaller grouper off the bottom. Is the 300 or 400 better? Thanks and Merry Christmas!
Treat yourself big man…get both!
@@TheEssex2dun funny you said this, because that's exactly what i ended up doing 😂
@@BrandonWatkins614which one do you use more/more useful? The 300 or 400?
@BG-yr4xs all around, the 300 is way better in my opinion, ive used it for snook, tarpon, redfish, grouper, snapper. And it has done great with all of them. If you are purely getting it for offshore fishing and will be jigging for species like AJs and tuna, the 400 might better fit your needs
Great video dude, considering getting this for slow pitch jigging. Have you had any issue with the gear ratio being so high? Would love to get it in the 6.3 ratio but they don't make it for lefties ahahaha
You're in luck they do make it for lefties. That's what this video is on, the left handed 300. No issues at all, thing is so much fun to fish with. Got a few videos catching amberjacks jigging on it🤘
@@ScottMikles nice, looking forward to it dude! I know they make the 7.4 for left handed and was a little concerned with how hard it might crank. Will have to see how it goes either way the reel looks amazing
Hello! Please tell me exact your Daiwa rod spec? Thank you.
It's a Daiwa Tatula Signature series. 7' 6" MH👌
I'll sell it to you. Depending on where you are. It's still like new, only used it a few times.
@@ScottMikles Thank you so quick answer. I am in MD near Baltimore but not now to will have Jig Rod. Need more study for slow pitch jigging rod and reel. Thank you again.
@@stevekim3922 No problem! If you want to return the favor tell a friend that fishes about the channel👍
Good luck on the rod search.
@@ScottMikles Yes Sir. I will do.
What are the rod specs?
Shimano Teramar XX 7' 6'' M
What different thing with new tatula 300?
Lexa is made for saltwater and Tayla is a fresh water reel
Tatula*
@@bigchapo5394 aa.. lexa has 7crbb and tatula just 2crbb..
@@bigchapo5394 thank you ✌
do you recommend lexa HD 300
I highly recommend it. Have caught a lot of big fish with it at this point. It's proven to be a solid reel.
Ok gracias
