Zoots21 Posted May 1, 2014 Report Share Posted May 1, 2014 Im brand new to fishing swimbaits and would like to get a setup. It seems a good place to start is with a Okuma guide select for my rod. Not sure what is best for a starting reel maybe a Lexa 300, Cardiff 301..... PM me thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Buttholebill Posted May 1, 2014 Report Share Posted May 1, 2014 Everyone seems to love to lexa 300. My friend has it and its sick. only If you like the low profile. If you want the round then i dont know. I have a 200b and i like it but the drag gave out in 3 weeks so i would go bigger then that Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bassbruh Posted May 2, 2014 Report Share Posted May 2, 2014 I ha e both the Lexa 300 and the cardif but I went with the 401, both are good reels, I also use the guide select, great rod for the money. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kilog Posted May 2, 2014 Report Share Posted May 2, 2014 A cool aspect of this site is the "search" feature. There have been many threads on just this topic, and I know some people who have contributed in the past get tired of repeating themselves.

gradycodd Posted May 2, 2014 Report Share Posted May 2, 2014 ive had my lexa 300 since before they were released, dragged big tarpon around with it and plenty of large muskies. there is no reel i would trust to throw 200$+ baits with more than this. I'm sure you can find one used somewhere, ebay or on here. good luck! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
