I have a friend who wants to purchase a reel for her husband for their anniversary and wanted to keep the cost around $100-$150. I love my citica and curado E series but haven't heard that many great things about the new G series. I have heard a lot of good things about Lew's reels but never tried one myself. Any information would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks, Paul. |

I've heard nothing but good about those reels. I plan on scooping up a few of them when they go back on sale.

I have one brake on and can sling a skitter a long ways. Had some fins dig in the pool and break the other day but other than that i rarely have a problem. I havent thrown a jig in a long while but they sling them good too.

I see your from Rayne, get with Anthony (rigratnomeaux) and he can hook you up with a lews in that price range. They are great reels.

X2. I own 10 of them. They go on sale twice a year for $25 along with the all star rods, i always stock up. Best part is when something goes wrong take it back and exchange for new over the counter. Great reel for the price. I still like my shimano but hard to beat the price and warranty of the Mettle reels. All i use at the beach.

Not sure the length but i have swapped several out. Oldest being over 2 years. Never a receipt. I always keep the boxes. Its cheaper to swap them out them to clean my other reels.

Open up the cover breaks same style as a Mano. Slap the boca bearing in from my Curado. Got a good reel that has lifetime warranty. Can't beat it. Now it's not as smooth as the Curado

I own 4 mettles and 2 lews! For the price the mettle cant be beat! But the lews speed spool tournament series casts for miles! And is so smooth and its got a very small profile!

X2 on Lews. You can cast them a mile and they hold up great. If you ever look more expensive check out the mew calcutta. Its my favorite reel right now

Isn't the Calcutta a round reel? Not sure I could use a round reel after using low profile for so long.

Lol. For real I dig mine good weight and just enough backbone. Although the lews and Cumara aren't a bad pair either. H2O best low dollar reel. |
