Overview
Perfectly suited for the rigors of big baits and big fish, the Daiwa Prorex TWS Casting Reels have been designed with one purpose in mind, to catch musky, pike, and trophy-caliber bass. Built with an aluminum frame, side plates, and 43mm aluminum spool, the Daiwa Prorex TWS Casting Reels are extremely tough and durable for heavy duty fishing applications and offer high line capacity for making longs casts with oversized lures. Daiwa’s T-Wing System (TWS) reduces line friction during the cast for increased casting distance while the heavy duty clutch design eliminates accidental spool engagement during the cast to prevent snapped lines and the loss of expensive lures.
To increase cranking power, the Daiwa Prorex TWS Casting Reels are fitted with a large single power handle that can be adjusted from 70mm to 80mm, as well as, Daiwa’s Ultimate Tournament Drag (UTD) so you can crank big fish and big lures to the boat with ease. Complete with a seven-bearing system for smooth reeling and casting performance, the Daiwa Prorex TWS Casting Reels are available in a wide selection of gear ratios and are ready to handle whatever you can throw their way.

Comments: I have been using tranx 400's/500's for years and after buying a daiwa prorex for the first time, I do not think I can go back to the tranx. The prorex is much smoother and casts much farther than a tranx. It fits in your hand much better and is just flat out better overall. Since buying the prorex, I have picked up some of the new daiwa lexa TW's. I believe that shimano and daiwa are at the same level but in my personal opinion and as a musky fisherman, I would reach for a daiwa before a shimano.

Comments: I have the Prorex TWS in 8:1 and it has become my #1, favorite musky reel. It is lightweight, smooth operating, smooth casting, and it feels great in my hand. I've got 80# braid on it and use it mainly for topwaters and light-medium rubber. I caught a 48" musky last week while fishing solo - it was a Figure 8 hit and a really tough net job solo (took 3 tries), and this reel performed flawlessly - the fish stripped a little drag a couple of times and the drag worked well. Having the 8:1 pickup probably helped in the moment too, to prevent slack line in a crazy boatside strike fight. I've had it for just this fishing season, so I can't speak to long-term durability, but it is awesome to fish. For comparison, I also fish Shimano Tranx 401, Abu Garcia Revo Toro, and Diawa Lexa 300's. I just now placed a Tackle Warehouse order for a second Prorex, this one in 5.3:1 gear ratio, that will replace the Revo Toro as my main power reel for crankbaits and big blades. The Revo has plenty of power, but I hate it's clutch for casting, and it's heavier than the Prorex, so it will be replaced. Also, on the Prorex reels - the purple highlights are really cool, but the green eye thing... not my thing, but the reel is awesome!
