BocaGrande Posted August 11, 2015 Posted August 11, 2015 Just got a daiwa lexa spinning rod 7'3ft medium heavy extra fast Minima zirconia guides The rod is light as a feather and was wondering what it could be best used for? I originally got it for drop shots with heavier weights and lures.. but what are some other options for this bad boy? Quote
cbass12 Posted August 11, 2015 Posted August 11, 2015 Shakyhead and tube is what I would use that for. Quote

Mike2841 Posted August 12, 2015 Posted August 12, 2015 Everything with a single hook from weightless worms to jigs. Spinning reels don't get backlashes, that rod can probably throw whatever you want it to. 2 Quote
Super User Jrob78 Posted August 12, 2015 Super User Posted August 12, 2015 Is the rod 10' long? 2 Quote
VolFan Posted August 12, 2015 Posted August 12, 2015 You ever do that spinning reel/line slap video? Quote
JGBassinAL Posted August 12, 2015 Posted August 12, 2015 Is the rod 10' long? Or is it 7'(3') = 21'squared???? 2 Quote
BocaGrande Posted August 12, 2015 Author Posted August 12, 2015 You ever do that spinning reel/line slap video? lol no not yet! i will soon though. tomorrow i will spool up my reel again with the 8lb copolymer, and put the reel on this rod. ill probably upload to youtube and then post the link Quote
BocaGrande Posted August 12, 2015 Author Posted August 12, 2015 Is the rod 10' long? Or is it 7'(3') = 21'squared???? trick question! JGBassin is correct! its 21' due to that little extra effort for the algebra he provided lol Quote

poisonokie Posted August 13, 2015 Posted August 13, 2015 I have had the Lexa 721MLFS for a couple years now and I use it all the time for anything finesse from weightless 4" plastics to dropshots, shakey heads, spybaits, you name it. Small cranks are even within its purview. It's super light, and I've caught bream, trout, some pigs and even a 11.5 lb blue cat with it, no problem. I also always use ultra thin braided line and there is no sign of wear on those guides. It's a top-notch rod, especially for the money. Quote

Penguino Posted August 18, 2015 Posted August 18, 2015 I have a Okuma 7'0 MH Fast spinning rod and I use it for everything other than crank's and spinnerbaits. I mostly throw unweighted t-rigs and wacky rigs, but i'm not afraid to throw anything not too heavy on it. Quote
Super User Darren. Posted August 18, 2015 Super User Posted August 18, 2015 I'd throw a lot of stuff on that, including weighted and weightless wacky, TX, etc. Quote
Super User SirSnookalot Posted August 21, 2015 Super User Posted August 21, 2015 Just got a daiwa lexa spinning rod 7'3ft medium heavy extra fast Minima zirconia guides The rod is light as a feather and was wondering what it could be best used for? I originally got it for drop shots with heavier weights and lures.. but what are some other options for this bad boy? About anything you want to use it for. I'd use a rod like that for open water fishing, jerk baits, topwater. MH for bass, I'd prefer for snook or redfish. Quote
