Norv Posted April 22 Report Share Posted April 22 I currently have a curado 300 and I love the reel, how is the tranx 300 in comparison. Also I was wondering how does the Daiwa lexa 300 and Daiwa tatula 300 stack up. I have not used either of those models, I have a 100 and 200 tatula and they're good but not my favorites. Let me know, I'm currently between the lexa 300 and another curado 300. Any advice is appreciated! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

monkeyonthemoon Posted Thursday at 03:10 PM Report Share Posted Thursday at 03:10 PM I have used a few swimbait reels including the Daiwa Coastal 200, Tranx 300/400, and Lexa wn 300. Personally I think the coastal is the smoothest although the Tranx comes close. My personal favorite is the lexa, it feels less refined but I do prefer the feel in hand coupled with smooth drag, line capacity, and saltwater protection. I’ve used the reel extensively for the last couple years and have put it through a lot of fish in the cold, driving rain, it’s been dunked in the salt and runs perfectly still.

troutbreath Posted Thursday at 03:41 PM Report Share Posted Thursday at 03:41 PM I have a couple lexa 300's and several tatula 300's. They're awesome reels. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chija Posted Thursday at 09:26 PM Report Share Posted Thursday at 09:26 PM I got the Lexa wn 300 on my big glide rod, no complaints. I think the curado might be smaller in the hand than the Lexa though, so that's something to consider. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bakerlounge Posted yesterday at 03:00 AM Report Share Posted yesterday at 03:00 AM I have a few Tatula 300’s along with 200’s, 150’s, 100’s and prefer them over the Tranx, no complaints with the Curado other than I prefer the brake adjustment on the Daiwa’s over the Shimano (not opening the cover. I’ve also fished a Lexa 300 in fresh and salt and it is seemingly indestructible. Currently using a couple Lexa’s and Coastal’s for salt and Tatula’s for the fresh.

maine y yak Posted 5 hours ago Report Share Posted 5 hours ago Tat 200; is the best of the bunch. Cheap as a stolen murder weapon and just as effective. The rest are all more than I care for... The Lexa WN is sick tho I have 2 and they are also bombproof. Tat 200 for the win Bakerlounge 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
B_larkin3 Posted 3 hours ago Report Share Posted 3 hours ago Daiwa coastal 200 is my favorite reel for 4 oz lures and under. I have 3 of them and use them for everything from swimbaits to saltwater fishing. Tatula 300 is for my big soft baits and glides over 4 oz. Great reels not 1 complaint Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
