    *I love it **enjoyable.fishing** recommend I’m using it for my 1.0 Crankbaits and small Jerkbait. Paired with my Assassin. Works great, feels great. Would definitely recommend this setup.*

    I'm torn between the lexa 400 TW or the Tranx500 hg.
    Looking to invest in a bigger/stronger musky reel for casting that will last.

    • @360fishingadventures8
      @360fishingadventures8 Před 2 lety

      If you can find a tranx in stock, that's always your best bet. I own a tranx 200 and it's a monster of a reel.

    • @yo_sp33d34
      @yo_sp33d34 Před rokem +1

      imo the lexa 400 tw casts much more comfortably than the tranx 500

  • @slacktide5675
    @slacktide5675 Před 3 lety +1

    Hey Scott. Does the level wind on the lexa HD affect your jigging in anyway? Been thinking of getting the 400 hyper speed for deep water slow pitch jigging

    • @ScottMikles
      @ScottMikles  Před 3 lety +2

      Not at all, she's smooth as silk. It's a welcomed feature as far as I'm concerned.

    • @slacktide5675
      @slacktide5675 Před 3 lety

      Thanks man. I’m gonna be jigging 450-900’ with it. Do you think I need a longer handle than the stock handle with the hyper speed for more torque?

    Just subscribed, excellent content. Would you be comfortable with jigs up to 250gram on the Lexa 300 or would you move up to the Lexa 400?

    • @ScottMikles
      @ScottMikles  Před rokem +1

      Thanks and welcome to the channel.
      I would go up to the heavier reel, but more importantly a heavier rod. The rod power is going to be the bigger factor in regards to jig weight. The setup featured has a medium heavy rod and that's a 120 gram jig. When I run 250g it's on a heavy at minimum.

    Are you a leftie or are you a rightie using a left hand reel on purpose. If so, does using a leftie work better for jigging?

    • @ScottMikles
      @ScottMikles  Před 3 lety +5

      Reeling with my left hand is something I've done since I was a little kid. I throw with my right hand so casting with it feels more natural and so does fighting fish with my dominant hand. Just how I've always done it. Also, I don't have to cast then switch the rod to the other hand to retrieve.

      Indeed, it does by standard. I like flirting with that line where the gear is too light to keep it sporting. That being said, this setup wouldn't keep a real big one out of structure.
