Posts: 7 | Looking for a new reel to be dedicated to big blades. Either the tranx 400A or the lexa tws 400p-p. Which one will handle the abuse better? Anyone getting any use out of the new lexas? Thanks | ||

Posts: 386 | Save up a little more for a Tranx 500 and not have to replace it for several years. For real, it handles the big blades way better than any other real, and I went through.a few before I took the plunge. It is now about to complete its 5th year for me with just typical annual maintenance. It's worth it. | ||

Posts: 538 Location: northern indiana | I went 5 years on my lexas without any maintenance. That's living on muskie waters and being hard on my gear. There are top on my list! I have used both but by far prefer the Lexa. | ||

Posts: 524 | Another vote for the Tranx 500. The Tranx 400 with a power handle would be second on my list. | ||

Posts: 353 Location: Western U.P. | I've been using a Lexa TWS 400 with 6.3:1 gears for the last couple of months, and really like the feel of it. It has performed flawlessly for blades, cranks, and rubber. I will be getting more TWS's over the Winter, and getting rid of some Garcias. I hate jigging handles, so I swapped the factory TWS handle for a counterbalanced power handle from the previous model Lexa 400, and put the TWS knob on it. | ||

Posts: 1710 Location: Mt. Zion, IL | 500, 400 with power handle, revo, zebco 33, then any daiwa lexa. The daiwa reels are among the worst musky reels for reliability ever made. I have serviced several that didn’t survive one day of fishing double 8’s. | ||
