I set the drag to a tension that felt right, but maybe Lew's reels need just one more positive drag click when you're adjusting them??
I could also just be crazy.
Most LEW's have a max 10lbs of drag I believe. The 13 fishing Concept A has a 22lb max drag

Oh I wanted one ! But I didn't have the cash so a Ducket micro magic it was. They're still 40% off on the website. It's sooo hard not to pull out the credit card !!

Two out of three are on sale, I had to have the saltwater addition.
Perfect for kayak fishing.

I love mine and planning to get a second one soon.

Also, customer service is second to none. After 3 years of service I sent it in and they did a full service for no charge at all. Even changed a bent part that the ice chest slid into while in the bed of my truck.

Academy has the Tournament Laser Speed Spool model for $89 right now. It's 7.1:1 ratio.
Got one for Christmas for $79.
I have it on my spinnerbait/ buzzbait rod.

Saw a guy in Cajun Tackle yesterday buying a Lew's American Hero reel. Didn't figure it was my place to tell him to check out the Tournament Pro before he paid, but I wanted to. I have mine on my fluke Rod; casts like a damn rocket.

Heck yeah. I don't have experience with a reel that fast, but I'm curious. If it's a Tournament Pro, it's gotta be good.

Mine is on the way too. I have 2, 13 fishing concept A's in 8.1:1 and they are awesome. When you're flipping it only takes a few cranks to get it back to the boat and you're back in the water again.

I don't know much about em. I traded a friend an old Shimano Core for supposedly the most expensive Lew's they make. I never used it one time. Let me get the model. I would be willing to cut someone a good deal on it.
