Super User BassinLou Posted July 29, 2012 Super User Posted July 29, 2012 I have been following this forum for a while now and the Lews discussions have always caught my attention. I enjoy and own several brands. I have Abu, Shimano and Quantum reels and now Lews. I ordered a 6.4:1 however what I was sent was a 5.4:1. I decided to give that ratio a try and if I didn't like it I can always return it. I went fishing yesterday and my experience was the following: I am definitely returning the reel for my original choice of 6.4: 1. Removing the ratios out of the equation, I was impressed with this reel. There is another post on this forum relating to lubricating this reel out of the box, I found that right out of the box the reel was great. This reel is lightweight, smooth, casts very well once you adjust it properly, and for the price it is a great piece of hardware IMHO. I have it paired with 7 ft MH St. Croix Avid. I have feeling once I get the model I originally wanted, this outfit will be one of my favorite ones for years to come. Quote
