  1. I thought the older tournament pro had the externally adjustable centrifugal brake? I could be wrong.
  2. Totaly different brake systems.
  3. Thats a tournament MB. MSB stands for multi setting brakes. It has centrifugal under the side plate and magnetic with external dial. They were the predecessor of the MP with the red handle. They are great reels for the money and should last a long time.
  4. That's funny because I thought it was fine in ripwrap.
  5. Great line. Extremely low stretch. Very sensitive. Casts well on a baitcaster.
  6. 734c in sierra micro series is the balls
  7. I would get a Dobyns Sierra in that price range.
  8. I used to balance my rods but I stopped when the newer lighter rods came out. I now buy rods that balance right before the reel locknut with a reel on the rod.Since I've gotten older it relieves the fatigue and stress on.my joints.
  9. I've been doing it for years. 30 to be exact. Just use a softer rod.
  10. last i heard on his video he now cranks with braid.
  11. Did you tie a scale to it and actually measure pounds of drag ?
  12. I have zero issues with Lews 27 point centrifugal externally adjustable brake with Ned rigs Dobyns Sierra micro rods are awesome.so are bps Johnny Morris Signature series.
  13. It would be my Lews Custom lite. Why ? Value would be one reason. It's weight of 4.9 ounces is another good reason.it casts further than any other reel I've owned or used. It's also as backlash free as a baitcaster can get. The gears are smooth as is the 20lb. Carbon drag. I absolutely love this reel.it casts Ned rigs easily and pitches jigs with ease. I really have no dislikes about it.
  14. Bass are not smart enough to know what line is. You can put a live worm right in front of a cruising bass on flourocarbon and watch them ignore it. They are either focused on your bait or they are not. That said I do color my lime green braid black so that the chartreuse line doesn't detract their attention from the bait. Fish bite all kinds of crazy lures that have hooks and terminal tackle all over them. Look at an umbrella rig. IMHO you need to stop worrying about line visibility.
  15. Congratulations. What did they weigh?
  16. Dobyns Sierra micro is a nice rod.
  17. I've been posting it for over a year numerous times.
  18. Get a Lews Tournament Pro with 27 point adjustable centrifugal brake. It's almost impossible to backlash. Buy at Sportsmans outfitters for 159. Or get a 4.9 oz Lews Custom lite for 209. It's the best reel I've ever owned or cast.
  19. I'm a righty. For years I switched hands. Bought a lefty reel by accident. Someone suggested I pitch with it. I tried it and love it. Now all soft plastics and jigs are fished left hand retrieve and all moving hardbait are fished righty. Definately less fatigue.
  20. Sportsmans Outfitters has the lowest prices I've seen on Lews. Service is awesome.free shipping and no tax.
  21. Lews rules. The lfs can be had for like 89 on sportsmans outfitters.Even better the Tournament MP can be had for 119$. THATS A DEAL THAT CANT BE BEAT.
  22. I have the custom lite slp. Buy it at Sportsmans Outfitters for 209$. It's a fantastic reel. Super smooth and nothing bad to say. I was Leary of the carbon frame but the Tanso tech stuff is super high tech from what I've read so I went for it.IT WEIGHS 4.9 OUNCES !!! So far no regrets. Also makes a great pitching reel.
