Daiwa Lexa 300 or Avet SXJ ???

[hartattack]

Yep HSP-L (hyper speed, power handle, lefty) the pic above is how it comes out of box. The Lexa 100 is paddle handle only, but the 300 model has either paddle or power.

I picked up SXJ earlier this year but have not fished it yet as that will be used for blackfishing. I little on the heavy side for bucktailing fluke in my opinion. Diawa Lexa is a great choice. They came out with lower gear ratio model but it does not come with power handle at this time. Once power handle becomes an option on lower gear ratio model it will be added to my arsenal as I am not a big fan of higher gear ratio reels for bottom fishing and prefer the power handle over the paddle

Using Both Of Them For Stripers And Fluke Having An Issue With The Lexa 300 Depending On Where The Handle Is You Have To Move It A Drop To Depress Button Still Nice Reel Got It Last June.headed Out Now With It Again

i'm waiting also. 4.9.1 will pull just about anything down there.

Agree w/ MVP that the Avet may be a little over the top for fluke, but another thing to consider is that it is made in the USA.
