Daiwa Lexa 100 Casting Reel Review

This reel is small and lightweight, which means you can fish as much as you'd like without feeling too fatigued. Its ergonomic design also makes sure that it has enough strength to take some of the strain off you.

It has a well-balanced lightweight spool that's great for casting light lures. Its design is simple, but as they say, simplicity is beauty.

No matter how many times a week you go fishing, this reel will be able to keep up with you. It's very low maintenance, so you won't have to take time you could be spending on fishing on fixing up the reel instead.

Unlike the conventional reel, the Daiwa Lexa 100 is great for casting. If you're more partial to having a laid-back, relaxing time, bait casting is a great choice. A casting reel is primarily for boat to shore fishing. Fish like catfish, bait, and trout make for an easy catch with a good bait casting reel. You can use a more heavy-duty bait casting reels for saltwater fishing, but for better results, it's best to stick to freshwater when you're using a bait caster.

The Daiwa Lexa 100 has a lightweight aluminum frame. One of aluminum's best features is the fact that it's lightweight and low-density, which means that despite size it will still handle with ease.

Aluminum is also resistant to corrosion. It has a layer of oxides on its surface, which stops water from settling in and causing rust. Since you'll be spending a lot of time in a wet environment with the Daiwa Lexa 100, anti-corrosive properties are a must. This will ensure the reel will last a long time.

Daiwa fitted the Lexa 100 with corrosion resistant ball bearings (CRBB) made of specially treated stainless steel. These bearings are designed to keep sand, grit, and saltwater out.

The ball bearing system in the Daiwa Lexa 100 has seven balls, which is common in bait casting reels. 7 ball bearing systems can enable you to have longer casting lines.

However, sometimes it doesn't matter the quantity of ball bearings in a bearing system, what matters more is the quality of the system itself. That's not something you need to worry about, though, because Daiwa makes sure to use high-quality materials.

Daiwa used a super lightweight A7075 aluminum spool for the Lexa 100. With this kind of spool, you won't have much startup inertia and you'll have more free spool. Thus, the spool can have a quicker start and a longer spin.

A7075 aluminum is an alloy that has zinc, magnesium, copper, and other metals in smaller fractions. This alloy is known to be quite strong despite being lightweight. It is also resistant to corrosion.

This aluminum alloy is aircraft grade, and it can be used in many other applications, from transportation to the manufacture of rifles.

The Daiwa Lexa 100 has Magforce® Cast Control, which is one of Daiwa's innovations. This brake system contains an advanced magnet brake with centrifugal position control. At a certain speed, the rotor stops working and the system brakes. Magforce cast control thus enables the use to cast with manageable speed.

You can adjust the Magforce setting depending on the weight of the lure you're using. For heavier lures, you can set the control to 3 or 4. For lighter lures, you can set the control to 5. It will thus be easier and more manageable for you to cast your lures.

Conclusion:

This is a lightweight, well-designed reel made of high-quality materials. Once you get the hang of using it, starting out your day of fishing will be as smooth as it gets. If you fish for leisure and relaxation, this is a great reel to bring with you.
