What "preservice" are you guys doing to the Lexa to get them to hold up more in the salt? I've fished Daiwa for years and have loved the Lexa and Tatula line. I would love to get a few of the 300 and 400 sized reels for the bulk of my gear....

I've found inconsistent lube jobs from the factory in all reels. Out of the box I always open them up and make sure all metal surfaces have at least a light coat of grease. I'll also go through the drags and bearings and lube accordingly. I usually remove the spool bearing shields and throw them away so I can directly drop oil into them as needed. So far of all the sport boat rental reels that have come back for service only one has needed major work. Damn bluefin.
