Saltwater and freshwater tough,these reels are all about handling heavy fish. The Daiwa Lexa LC balances nicely on any trolling rod, and features a sturdy aluminum (not graphite) frame and gear side plate for extra strength without the extra weight. Its top-mounted mechanical line counter reads in feet, offering repeatable precision for keeping your lure in the strike zone on each pass. The smooth 7-bearing system (2CRBB+4BB+1RB) includes Daiwa's Infinite Dual Anti-Reverse to ensure maximum hooksetting power; a convenient spool click provides a buffer on the hardest strikes and alerts you to activity. Once the fish is on, the Ultimate Tournament carbon drag (UTD) delivers up to an amazing 25 lbs. to get even hard-slashing salmon to the net quickly.
