First of all, I love my Revos and Chronarchs but last year I bought 2 of the $99.00 Lews Speed Spools just to see how they perform. I was impressed last year when I used them a few times. Well, today I was out with a buddy fishing in about 15 mile an hour winds, not super bad but still windy. I happened to bring with me one of the speed spools that was set up with a 1/2 ounce Bomber Fat Free shad crankbait. When I was casting into the wind, I was absolutely launching some long very long casts without any backlashes. Sure, I had everything set just right but I am totally shocked about how well the Lews performs, especially at that price range. I must have made over 100 casts with it today and all it did was launch my crankbait as far as I can with my revos and chronarchs. We will see about the longevity of these reels over time but I can't say enough good things about my experience so far. Crazy for $99.00.
