Question Lew's Reels
Thinking about retiring my old Amassadors and swapping over to Lew's. Question I have is which ones to go with? I bass fish 95% of the time and wouldn't think corrosion would be an issue. I saw on there website they start at $99 all the way up to $300. I have no experience with these reels and would appreciate the input. Thanks RD

I have 2 new and 2 that are over 20 years old..fish almost exclusively salt water. Keep them clean and oiled properly should not present an issue in salt water. The way I fish the Lew's is my favorite with the Curado right behind.
