38 Super Fan Posted July 10, 2012 Posted July 10, 2012 It's not a SHIMANO so expect negativity. Quote
zachb34 Posted July 10, 2012 Author Posted July 10, 2012 lol im a shimano guy too but I want to try something new i dont like all the play in my citicas and curados handle even though its minor Quote
Super User Hi Salenity Posted July 10, 2012 Super User Posted July 10, 2012 LOL, you aren't a Shimanno guy anymore. 1 Quote
Matt Jungblut Posted July 10, 2012 Posted July 10, 2012 i owe tdz's zillions and a curado 200e and like my lews tournament pro just as well as any of the other reels you cant go wrong with that reel my daiwa's were all more expensive and that reel works just as well as them Quote
j.bruno Posted July 10, 2012 Posted July 10, 2012 Ull notice it is a lot smoother on the retrieve than any curado or citica. Ull notice that the magnetic brake will come in handy in some situations. Ull notice the spool tension knob clicks. You might notice a weight difference. I can. The only thing i like better on my citicas and curados is the wider spool, about it. Quote
zachb34 Posted July 10, 2012 Author Posted July 10, 2012 The weight difference sold me on it that's why I didn't get the tournament speed spool instead plus the carbon fiber handle looks sick Quote
jwhowells Posted July 10, 2012 Posted July 10, 2012 I have the TS1SH and I love it. What I love most about it is the size and feel of the reel. Quote

j.bruno Posted July 10, 2012 Posted July 10, 2012 Just thought id share this pic i seen on the LEWS fb page. Looks tiny, looks good 1 Quote
Super User QUAKEnSHAKE Posted July 11, 2012 Super User Posted July 11, 2012 I should have got a Lews instead of my JMCarbonlite Quote
Super User Bassn Blvd Posted July 11, 2012 Super User Posted July 11, 2012 I've sold all my Shimano's except my Calcuttas and I have one Chronarch 50mg left. I will sell the 50mg, just too lazy to post it. I love my Lews TP. Quote
Caulfield722 Posted July 12, 2012 Posted July 12, 2012 I own the Curado 201e, Revo STX, JM Signature, and the Lew's Tournament Pro. IMHO the Lew's is the best of the four. It casts farther with virtually no backlash, is feather light, and is much more palmable than the others due to its compact size. I think the STX might be a little bit smoother, but I would still take my Lew's over it any day. Quote
Super User LgMouthGambler Posted July 12, 2012 Super User Posted July 12, 2012 LMG where ARE you? Hootie Im here, and I still just dont get it, LOL. Quote
Capt.Bob Posted July 12, 2012 Posted July 12, 2012 Im here, and I still just dont get it, LOL. Don't let it get to you LGM, it just takes some longer than others, you'll get it. when you do, you'll love it!! Quote
