Poor quality. Bought this last summer (2017) and used it four times. Used it this summer (2018) five times. Two major issues. One the bail will not reset after casting 50 percent of the time. Two and the most important. The reel when reeling in is tight and difficult to reel in. Thought she line was stuck, opened it up and nothing wrong. It is smooth in reverse but would not work in forward motion as it should. Have cleaned and oiled it every time due to using in brackish water. Stored inside too. Very disappointed. My wife oked this buy for my birthday and now it seems a anor waste if $120. Beware

Nice reel bought to go on a trip to catch specks & flounder near orange beach . Liked it's size and line capacity has enough drag to handle larger fish for sure . Good solid reel for the $$

reel has been great so far, has handled stripers to high 30 pound class and many jumbo blues. smooth and strong drag. only complaint is that the line lay doesn't come onto the spool evenly anymore.. not sure if a result of use or from a manufacturer/design error. in the end, great reel, just one little nuisance.

I now have four Lexa spinning reels. It's a great inshore reel with 17 lbs of drag. Have caught California yellowtail up to 25 lbs.

Reel is outstanding! Smooth as butter! Personally a Shimano guy but Lexa has won me over.

I love this reel for peir fishing for small to medium sized fish it holds its own for the price it's a great addition to the lexa family I own two of the lexa 400 hd an one lexa 300 now I don't have to use my deep sea reels for the piers it's perfect

Highly recommend this reel, fast,smooth and a beefy drag.

Great reel, comparing to Shimano that is $50 more, slightly heavier than similar 3000 reels. It does hold more line than my other 3000 reels. Be careful when you put line on to get the twist out or it is easily trapped under the open spool sides. Very good drag. Paired w/ Dobyln 7'2" worm rod.

I've owned my lexa for three years and it's never let me down. I use it for Spanish mackeral and blue fish mostly, but have caught tons of different fish with it from bass to flounder. The reel has pleny of drag and is super smooth, plus light enough to fish all day.

Very good reel, nice and strong drag, also it is lightweight. I recommend for casting tuna fishing.

Excellent reel at a perfect cost. Tackle Direct ships quickly. Would recommend this item and this company to all my friends.

Very smooth out of the box, Enough drag for stripers, trout, and redfish. Can't wait to take it out on the water! Paired it up with a 7'6" salt striker medium rod, very balanced combo.

Lexa spinning reel has all the character of daiwa reel.
clicking bail frrls right and smootg and little wiggling feel when strong retruve..
overall very solid at the same time pretty smooth.
high quality daiwa reel

Great reel!

I have fished this reel twice so far in 2500sh series. It's light and super smooth so far very impressed! I already own the 100hs in bait aster and have had it for two years and love it so once I saw the spinning version I hopped on it "not to mention I got it for a great price."
