I'm in the same boat. Was planning on using the Daiwa Lexa 300 with power handle for chucking surface irons. I assume this is a similar reel to the 300ej. Was going to spool it with 40lb braid and put it on a heavy 8 foot teramar...supposedly the reel has 22lb of drag. Anyways, point is I'm also interested in hearing if anyone is using these low profile reels for yellowtail.
