I just got my Lews Tournament Speed Spool in today paired with a *** 6' 7" MH rod and all I can say is WOW!! The reel casts like a dream and this is the first year I have ever thrown a baitcaster. The rod I bought off of TW based off of reviews and PM's with different people through the forum and all I can say is I am glad I did! The feel of this rod is the amazing. I have had trouble in the past of catching fish with bottom contact lures because I couldn't feel the bite. Through watching Glenn's videos I have learned so much and put it all to use today. I saw the line jump before I felt the bite but still felt it! This is the first time I have ever felt the bite and I have to say I think the *** had a lot to do with it!
I am so thankful to have this forum as a resource to me and for everyone's patience and support through so many posts and nagging questions in a sport that many think is too "top secret" to share any information.
Thanks again!
