GaterB Posted September 28, 2013 Posted September 28, 2013 Anybody have thoughts on why Lew's has two "workhorse" reels? I'm looking to pick one of these up, and I'm wondering which one is better. They seem really similar. Price doesn't really concern me, i'm mainly wondering why Lew's has two reels so similar, and which one you guys would recommend. Quote
Super User Hi Salenity Posted September 28, 2013 Super User Posted September 28, 2013 Go to eBay and buy a TP and be done with it Goodnight Irene LOL! 1 Quote
Cgrinder Posted September 28, 2013 Posted September 28, 2013 Kinda depends what you're throwing. I have been eyeing a Super Duty for frogs and/or 3/4 oz Daredevles. Quote
Capt.Bob Posted September 28, 2013 Posted September 28, 2013 the Tournament MG is less refined and not the same reel, the Super Duty is Much smoother and more powerful, has 11 bearings, the soft touch finish which is a little more durable than the standard Tournament has, its a better choice then the MG and it is in the same frame size.

5dollarsplash Posted September 28, 2013 Posted September 28, 2013 I bought a MG when they first came out, I did like it a lot at first. Now I still use it, so don't go flaming on me all you Lews Lovers, but it spends a lot more time on the bench than on the playing field now. Although I've only played with one and they weren't out at the time, the Super Duty seems much nicer and like money well spent if your limiting yourself to the two. Quote
GaterB Posted September 29, 2013 Author Posted September 29, 2013 Thanks guys! Def helps me make a decision--in all honesty I'll probably just go with the tourney pro. I have one already and love it, and can get it cheaper than the super duty! Quote
mattk22 Posted September 30, 2013 Posted September 30, 2013 i have a few super duty's and love them. i have fished a bunch of reels and only found one i like better, the BB-s. if you want some super duty or BB-1 let me know. i bought a whole lot off of a guy the other week and am selling some.

I appreciate it! I really wish I could take one or two of those off your hands, but I just purchased a kayak and I'm pretty tapped out right now on my fishing budget Quote
