Heavy Hooksetter Posted September 1, 2016 Report Share Posted September 1, 2016 Tackle Direct has the 364P size for $220 and this model 471P for $250. not a bad price at all. I got both my 400's for 458[7-1]. if I didn't have 2 lexas I would try one of the okumas out. heck,I may even sell off one of my other reels and step up to one,will have to see by maybe crimmus or so. thanks JT.

jimmy z Posted September 1, 2016 Report Share Posted September 1, 2016 JZ,I'll tell ya what,those lexas are wonderful,cast like a dream and so smooth. I can honestly say I can sling a BT farther with them than almost all my other rigs. set the mag to 2[+a bit of thumb] and let it fly. H-H Ya know what Roddy Okuma started years ago with decent products. I had a 203 Contura that could could cast wide open. Mag on 0 and just feathered. Can't even buy that reel anymore AKN-2 USS Sagittarius BE ENCOURAGING, NOT DISCOURAGING <*((())))>< <*((())))>< Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

meccalli Posted September 1, 2016 Report Share Posted September 1, 2016 Not that i'm intending to do it but this could potentially yank up 16oz of lead and a snapper? Have a hard time internalizing such a high gear ratio equating to a senator's cranking power but i would expect it in this age. I'm itching for a new star drag, wouldn't mind a baitcaster.

Tagman Posted September 2, 2016 Report Share Posted September 2, 2016 John, Thx for the excellent intro to this reel. I have been enjoying my 350 sized Komodo.....excellent reel. I might end up springing for this larger model. It looks really nice. I'm not to sure the brake adjustment is a that much easier than the older model though.
