Super User Teal Posted April 2, 2014 Super User Posted April 2, 2014 Team Lews Pro is my favorite. Its super light, and built pretty tough. Great for medium action rods and throwing baits that are pretty light or weightless plastics. Reel is silky smooth. I have a Core reel ans the Team Pro gives it a good run for its money. It falls short of the core but is a much better value Compared to the Core. Drawback is the price tag compared to the tourney pro and superduty, which are also great reels. Tied for second is the Tourney Pro ans the Super Duty. The Tp is light. It balances great on almost all modern ML-MH rods. I love the dual braking system. It really is dummy proof. I've used mine for almost three years and they are still going strong. Super Duty is a little heavier but still is at a great weight for such a beast reel. If you prefer mag breaks and don't need a 6.5 oz reel, then this one is amazing. Strong, hold a good amount of line, can tie direct with braid and casts well. Quote
Super User Teal Posted April 2, 2014 Super User Posted April 2, 2014 The only Lews I have not used are the Team Gold, and the BB1 pro and the BB2 Quote
Arv Posted April 2, 2014 Posted April 2, 2014 TP, but thats he highest I've gone. Almost bought a BB1 pro, but just got another TP Quote
justinm811 Posted April 2, 2014 Posted April 2, 2014 I am about to be in the market for a lews reel. Will be pairing with a duckett micro magic heavy rod with 50 pound braid for frogging heavy cover etc. Which Lews reel would you recommend for that setup? Quote

Big Swimbait Posted April 3, 2014 Posted April 3, 2014 I only use Lews & just got the BB-2Z for my new swimbait rod. It is an absolute dream to use. Quote
McAlpine Posted April 3, 2014 Posted April 3, 2014 I've owned alot of different reels over the years and I have yet to run into one I thought was better for the money than a Lew's Tournament Pro. Quote
greyleg33 Posted April 4, 2014 Posted April 4, 2014 T Pro. Of all the reels I own I like those best. Quote
