Daiwa Lexa 400 HSP - How is Yours Holding Up? - Kayak Fishing Adventures on Big Water’s Edge

I have zilion hd and the new lex hd 400 and am quite impressed. I had a few other similar reels in the past and they needed near constant attention and these have needed none thus far.

I like them both.

I have a Lexa 300, I think. I use it all the time for bass fishing and it is my favorite. But I do have to make sure to oil it up before each trip. I would buy another in a sec though.

The Calcutta is a good reel also, I have an old one that I bring for a second rod out, it's a workhorse, takes a lot of abuse and requires a little less maintenance.
