Hey guys,
I am after some advice for a new saltwater baitcaster. I am currently using a Daiwa Hard Rock Fish and a Luna 253 with the drag upgrade.
As I'm fishing for snapper and kingfish the reel has to be up to the task with regards to drag and gears. I also fish from a kayak in saltwater so the construction has to be corrosion proof (yes I know no such thing, as long as it won't turn to grit as soon as it gets a saltwater wash).
I was looking at the Daiwa Lexa 300 as something close to what I want. But have heard the internal build quality leaves a little to be desired and also they tend to go through the AR bearings. Also the new Quantum EXO baitcaster caught my eye.

Thoughts??

Cheers in advance
