The Daiwa Lexa TW 300 is a new version of the legendary Lexa series casting reels that now includes Daiwa's proprietary T-Wing System (TWS) levelwind. With the inclusion of TWS technology, the Lexa brings its heavy-duty yet lightweight performance to the convenient world of levelwind baitcasting reels.

Specifically, TWS solves the line constriction issues often found in traditional line guide/level wind systems by using a T-shaped line guide that is larger, wider, and therefore less restrictive. This allows line to exit freely from the spool with minimal line angle and minimal friction, which in turn reduces line noise and backlash potential for more accurate and longer casts. For unmatched durability and smooth performance, the Lexa TW 300 uses eight Corrosion Resistant Ball Bearings (CRBB) that feature specially treated stainless steel, and a protective shield on the bearing race that keeps out sand, fine grit, salt crystals, and other abrasives foreign objects.

Additionally, the reels feature a stainless steel pinion gear with a high-grade brass gear, aluminum frame, and side plate, and a swept single power handle with a custom EVA handle knob for maximum power and torque.

Available with Right Hand retrieve in 6.3:1, 7.1:1, and 8.1:1 gear ratios and Left Hand in 7.1:1 gear ratio only.

Great reel but not sure TW is worth the price difference

I just picked up one of these after using a Lexa 300 HD for many seasons. I use them for fishing 2-5oz swimbaits on the California coast, typically in 30-100 FOW while drifting.

Pros compared with Lexa HD:
- I like that the TW line offers the lower 6.3:1 gear ratio that's marginally better for California halibut while still having essentially the same line per turn as the 7.4:1 Lexa HD, which I've found to be very beneficial while on the drift (I can't use the 6.3:1 Lexa HD in the afternoon, when the drift picks up, because it doesn't retrieve line fast enough to maintain good swimbait action)
- I do think it casts farther than the Lexa HD, but I'm still feeling out whether I think that extra distance is worth the extra cost

Cons compared with the Lexa HD:
- I prefer the HD's counter-balanced handle and smaller knob. I haven't yet had the TW's handle swing while casting, causing the spool to engage and cast to get cut short, which I've read online can happen; I've been purposefully positioning the handle before casting to avoid this, but I'd prefer not having to do that or think about this. And while you can find the other handle online and swap it on, that just adds to the cost (plus, some handles found online don't come with the appropriate nut plate and screw; you have to order them separately from Daiwa).
- Cost

But overall, it's still a Lexa, which means it's buttery smooth, well built and well sealed. If cost is not a factor, the TW is probably worth it, and I have seen them go on sale from time-to-time at a cost very similar to the HD.
