I have the lews bb1 pro and absolutely love it I also have the shimano slx dc and the curado dc I also have 200 dollar kastkings and other brands and from my experience it really comes down to how I'm gonna be fishing the day I pick my set up. I use my bb1 pro for certain things and the shimanos for others. I don't think one is better than the other it just comes down to which one do u like more for what ur doing. They all have their pros and cons
