Kevin Beachy Posted June 13, 2014 Posted June 13, 2014 Is this a good froging reel to get from wally-world. I dont have to much money to spend so i cant get something expensive. http://www.walmart.com/ip/Lew-s-LS1SHLMG-Laser-MG-Speed-Spool-Baitcast-Reel/25551437 Please quote my post so i can just check emails. lol Quote
Delaware Valley Tackle Posted June 13, 2014 Posted June 13, 2014 For what you want to do, you want a metal frame. Look at BPS for a Pro Qualifier on sale. Quote

Buy it and try it out. If it works then great. If not you can always return it but I'd listen to DVT. Quote

TNBassin' Posted June 13, 2014 Posted June 13, 2014 It's your money. If you're dead set on getting the Lew's then get it and try it out. That graphite frame though. Don't just go out and buy something to buy something. I've been there. You want what you want and you want it now, even though a little more patience will open up better options for you. If you can spend $80 on that Lew's, you can surely save up a tad more for a much better reel that will work great for the application you want to use it in. Quote
Super User MCS Posted June 13, 2014 Super User Posted June 13, 2014 To add to what TN is saying check out walmart a pfluegers and quantums. Some of their models are aluminum frame for at or under a hundred bucks if u can swing it. The older model pflueger presidents have been on sale for around 80 bucks. Or the quantum centex and accurists. Quote
robster80 Posted June 13, 2014 Posted June 13, 2014 isnt the pq the same price as that lews? and if youre set on a lews get the speed spool. with the rebates u can get it cheaper than the lAser mg. Quote

Super User BassinLou Posted June 13, 2014 Super User Posted June 13, 2014 If you can hold out a little more for a bit more $$, I was looking at the website you provided, and they also have the Tournament MG 7:1, which is a great reel for $114. This reel would be perfect for you. http://www.walmart.com/ip/Lews-TS1SHMG-Tournament-MG-Speed-Spool-Baitcast-7.1-1-Deep-Spool/24258720 Quote
Super User J Francho Posted June 13, 2014 Super User Posted June 13, 2014 Lightweight graphite frame and side plates BZZZZT! Wrong answer! Has to be an aluminum frame reel for my money. 1 Quote
Super User Raul Posted June 13, 2014 Super User Posted June 13, 2014 "LIGHTWEIGHT" graphite frame ..... now that´s an oxymoron, the graphite frame reels I used to know were heavier than aluminum frame reels, so where´s the "lightness" ? Quote
TNBassin' Posted June 13, 2014 Posted June 13, 2014 He's a kid with money burning a hole in his pocket lol. I think he finally settled on a BPS Pro Qualifier. Quote
