Lews suggestions
 

Imma get on the lews train.....heard good things about the inshore and the super duty.....any suggestions before I drop my cheddar

I have two of the 100 dollar ones have had them for about a year and love them no problems so far.

X2....I also have a tournament pro. I only use them in freshwater though. I stick with shimano for salt.

Love my tourney pro I use it in salt all the time had it for about a year.


Spiral Out

Own three lewes all salt water with no problems

any body know the difference between the tourney pro and the inshore? look the same to me except exterior finish?

Just picked up a unused super duty 5.4 : 1. Can't wait to try it out! Just gotta pick a decent rod to pair it with...

i was leaning toward the super duty....lemme know how you like it

Great reels... Fish them in both salt/fresh and zero issue. Very smooth and great drag. Out fishes the Shimano Curado all day in my opinion (compared to Lew's Speed Spool Series of similar gear ratio)

Bought me a Lew's Laser MG Speed Spool 7.1:1 today, should be in by the end of the week. Plan on fishing Saturday & Monday, I'll report back with my opinion.

N I n ja please! Those Lew's are some sweet reels and all but don't compare to a Shimano Curado. Maybe a G Series Curado.

I have 4 Lews tourney pros and 1 Tourney MG... have had all of them for 2 years.... had an issue with one of them but academy swapped it out for me no problem... I love them... I like them bc of the small profile... And they cast a mile and very smooth.

Will do. Going Wednesday after work.

Sold off all of my curado E's. Have tourney pros and 1 inshore. Love them and wouldn't go back to the curado. JMO

Crab. I have the t pro and it casts further than my green curado. Sold it after I had lews and never used it.

soooo....lots of votes for the tourney pro, is it better than the inshore or superduty?

Super duty felt to bulky for me. Haven't tried inshore

That's kinda what I'm hoping for. I have large hands.

I have two of the lews inshore reels. have fished them in salt water since last june both wading and from the boat. Just had boca bearings installed in both. Have not had the first problem with them. They cast a country mile and the drag is smooth (right out of the box). I love the shimanos too but if you are looking to go with the lews youll be more than pleased with any of their products especially the tournament pro and the inshore. I also have a lews BB1 that is great its about $40 cheaper.

i have a speed spool that is two years old, make me an offer and i will sell it to you

Ive got the team lews pro for sale new. Make me an offer if anyone is interested.

I feel like all of them are too bulky.

me too...curados fit my hand nice

i loved mine... it was the ms8 i think with the speed spool... i had two problems with the reel though..
1. i found out there was a fine line when putting string on mine, if i put a couple foot too much, i'd backlash every cast... take the line off till it was right and it was amazing.
2. you cant run them over with a truck.

besides those two problems i was always very impressed with it.

Casted the heck outta the super duty 5.1:1 today. Had it on a 6'10" medium action Duckett ghost with 15# seaguar floro. Haven't decided if it's love or lust, but I like it a lot.

Just ordered a tourney pro. Thanks for the advice guys

Bayouchub....I wish I could afford the extra money for the pro team, but imma get a laguna Texas wader to set that tourney pro on, and I'm already over budget. Thanks for the offer tho

No prob. Enjoy it.
