BassAssassins14 Posted September 27, 2013 Posted September 27, 2013 Which reel would up you pick???? Quote
Super User BassinLou Posted September 27, 2013 Super User Posted September 27, 2013 Tough question, they are both great reels. First, have you physically, palmed and get a feel of each reel? Silly, question I know, but believe it or not, some anglers do not do that first. 2nd, have you placed the reel on the rod you intend on using? That helps you get a feel of the reel and rod's balance. I enjoy both of those reels, and each of them serves me differently. Your decision, will be rendered based on the answers of question 1&2, imho. Quote
Arv Posted September 27, 2013 Posted September 27, 2013 Between the stx and the speed spool id pick the stx. Both are quality but I think the stx has more features that makes it more appealing. My only experience is with the gen 2 so im not sure about the third gen stx. Quote
5fishlimit Posted September 27, 2013 Posted September 27, 2013 The lew's speed spool is the $99 model, so the next revo stx will be your better option. Quote
Super User Hi Salenity Posted September 27, 2013 Super User Posted September 27, 2013 I don't like the mag breaks on the SS Quote
Super User buzzed bait Posted September 28, 2013 Super User Posted September 28, 2013 i have the speed spool and it is a good reel. i have the 7:1:1 and it's a BURNER, very very fast on IPT. i like it, can't speak for the STX, but they are quite a bit more expensive i believe. i bought my speed spool at Dick's with a 20% coupon i found online so ended up getting it for like $80+tax....

MrsBassAssasin Posted September 28, 2013 Posted September 28, 2013 I have both and like both but I tend to use the Lews more, no specific reason, just a personal preference. Quote
soopd Posted September 28, 2013 Posted September 28, 2013 I have both and I like both. If I buy another one it will be the one I get on sale. Quote
TRYTOFISH Posted September 28, 2013 Posted September 28, 2013 I like the STX. Its just a preference. Hell, I still use a 40 yr old 33 about a 1/4 of the time. Quote
Dramer77 Posted September 28, 2013 Posted September 28, 2013 not quite sure why your comparing those 2 unless you can get a killer deal on the stx, i have a 3rd gen stx and a lews bb1..i love both reels.. youd have a better comparison with the lews tournament pro vs the stx... Quote
