Overview
Complete with all of the features that made the Lexa a staple for lightweight heavy-duty performance, the battle-tested design of the Daiwa Lexa TWS 400 Casting Reel has been upgraded with Daiwa’s industry-leading T-Wing System and optimized with cutting-edge technology. The Lexa TWS 400 Casting Reel delivers longer more accurate casts by utilizing a T-shaped shaped line guide that allows line to exit the spool freely, creating minimal angle and friction, which in turn reduces line noise and backlashes. Constructed from a stainless-steel drive gear and pinion gear, aluminum frame and side plates, and an adjustable handle the Daiwa Lexa TWS 400 Casting Reel is built for maximum power and torque suitable for landing trophy largemouth or large saltwater predators.
Daiwa’s corrosion-resistant stainless-steel ball bearings are treated with a protective shield that seals out sand, fine grit, salt crystals, and other abrasives lasting up to twelve times longer than traditional bearings. Delivering ultra-smooth low inertia with ultimate fish stopping power, the Ultimate Tournament Drag combines advanced carbon washers, alloy, and stainless-steel drag plates with specially designed grease for ultra-smooth performance. Crafted to be 30-percent lighter and 17-percent more compact than the 400 HD Series Lexa, the Daiwa Lexa TWS 400 Casting Reel is a lightweight, heavy-duty, low-profile baitcasting reel in a class of its own.

Comments: A Finely made reel that has no problem pulling in trophy snook or smaller tarpon. Cast farther than you'll ever need to as well. As I stated in the 300 Lexa review, these daiwa's sometimes have an issue with the clutch catching after a cast. The inside of the reel needs to be lubricated to fix this, and the reel will work just fine. Well worth the higher price tag.

Comments: This is an amazing reel. I use it for casting lures in the surf. I mount it on either my Dobyns Fury Swimbait rod or a modified (handle shortened so I can roll cast) light surf rod. Both combos send salt water lures from half an ounce up to 3 ounces out as far as I need. The reel is easy to tune to prevent backlash, reels in smooth and has a ton of power to reel in long casts of heavy lures again and again without getting me tired. When a fish is on, there is also plenty of power to reel them in. I normally keep a Tatula 200 on my swim bait rod, but may leave this on just for the heck of it to see how it works in fresh water.
