Smallmouth Hunter Posted March 16, 2014 Posted March 16, 2014 I was thinking of getting a Lew's Tournament MG or the Tournament Pro. Are these two reels almost alike? Lew's tourney Mg - more capacity, linear 5 magnet braking system, aluminum handle and star drag, longer handle, larger body. Lew's TP - less line capacity, dual braking, carbon fiber handle, aluminum star drag, shorter handle, small body/frame. P.S. - Which** Quote
Super User rippin-lips Posted March 16, 2014 Super User Posted March 16, 2014 Not at all. The tournament speed spool and the tournament pro are close but not the Mg vs Pro. The TP is great little reel for the $140-150 price you can pick it up for. Super light and very solidly built. The carbon handle is a nice touch too. Quote
ak47soulja22 Posted March 16, 2014 Posted March 16, 2014 Tournament pro for sure!! Or if you can stretch your money do the lews team gold Quote
livetofish28 Posted March 17, 2014 Posted March 17, 2014 The tournament pro will be the next reel I get I love. My tournament mg and my super duty but the weight difference between the two is unbelievable Tight lines Andrew Quote
Super User eyedabassman Posted March 17, 2014 Author Super User Posted March 17, 2014 Looks like it will be the tournament pro! Quote
Super User Grizzn N Bassin Posted March 17, 2014 Super User Posted March 17, 2014 Tournament pro is one heck of a reel. I love mine. Very solid and reliable, can't go wrong. 1 Quote
SenkoGuru Posted March 17, 2014 Posted March 17, 2014 out of what you have listed I would go with the Tournament pro. It is a much better reel, but, and isn't there alwat a but........I would tell you to buy a Daiwa Tatula reel, this is so, so , good, and will not even understand it all until you are out on the water throwing it. The reel is amazing. Quote

deadadrift89 Posted March 17, 2014 Posted March 17, 2014 http://www.sportsmansoutfitters.com/lews-tournament-pro-baitcast-fishing-reels/?fullSite=1 Love my Lews TP. I'll be changing all over as money allows. I got mine from Sportsmans Outfitters ebay store $150 shipped priority mail. Great people to deal with. Quote
SenkoGuru Posted March 17, 2014 Posted March 17, 2014 You can buy the Daiwa Tatula new in store at around $149.99 but if I was going to buy another one I would check with Mr. Ron at Valley Sports. Quote

Super User iabass8 Posted March 17, 2014 Super User Posted March 17, 2014 What do they go for $$$? You can find them pretty easily for around 105$ Quote
daiwaguy Posted March 17, 2014 Posted March 17, 2014 I would go for the one on a broomstick or from the Wizard of Oz. Quote

Super User new2BC4bass Posted March 17, 2014 Super User Posted March 17, 2014 I didn't know I could post a picture from the Internet without using one of the sites such as Flickr or Photobucket. Even us old farts can learn something once in awhile. I saw the spelling, and thought you were a youngster. I see it a lot. BTW, you are still a youngster compared to some of us. Quote

FlipSide Posted March 17, 2014 Posted March 17, 2014 IMO I would get the Tourney MG and spend the extra towards the rod your going to pair with it Quote

Super User new2BC4bass Posted March 18, 2014 Super User Posted March 18, 2014 I will be 63 this year! Like I said, still a youngster. Need help tying your shoes? (I do cuz it's hard to bend over! LOL.) MG or Tournament Pro may depend on what you plan on using the reel to for. Go with the 5.4:1 MG if it will be used mostly for deep cranking. I can't use 120 yds. in my fishing much less the 150 yds of the MG, so as far as I'm concerned line capacity doesn't enter into the equation. I have only used the Tournament Pro, and have no idea how the mag only Lews reels handle. That may or may not make a difference to you. The TP is 1.2 oz. lighter which makes a big difference to some. Not me. Love my Zillions! Personally I would opt for the TP. but what I would like may not be what you would like. If this were Tackletour, I would tell you to buy both. EDIT: BTW, what rod did you get? Quote
