In my review of the Lexa spinning reel I even had to resort to listing the availability as a con, but that is not the case anymore, as Daiwa is becoming more an more available to smaller retailers (a low price point high quality reel like the Lexa makes this easier) The Wrap Up: If you are looking for a great introduction into Daiwa reels, the Lexa is a great place to start
As good as the 5000's and other Abu Garcia reels are, I am amazed at the new technology they continue to find and incorporate into their products
Personally, I think that it looks better in the abstract than on a rod, so if I could order it in a plain version Id do that
