bbodkin Posted August 7, 2014 Posted August 7, 2014 Hey guys I need a new reel for my topwater baits. I have a few selected that I'd like y'all to compare and vote if you've used them. 1. Lews Tour MG Speed Spool 2. Lews LFS Speed Spool 3. Daiwa Tatula Or any others you can suggest me to buy. Id like to spend $100. I can get a tatula at Walmart for $100, an LFS SS, at TWH for $100 and a Tour MG for $100 off this forum. So let me know what you think, out of these. I have a speed spool already it's just the regular version. The aluminum frame one, not the laser. I don't know if I should try something somewhat more different than another lews. But I like the speed spool it's just too heavy it seems for frogging and it's a 6 gear. Thanks guys. Quote
OntarioFishingGuy Posted August 7, 2014 Posted August 7, 2014 I use a Tatula. Its getting repaired because of a gearing issue (sounded like there was a peice of sandpaper in the gears), but it did perform well before this. Nice and fast, very strong, and casts a mile. Quote
Super User BassinLou Posted August 7, 2014 Super User Posted August 7, 2014 Out of the 3, I would choose the Lews MG tournament, great reel for this application. Just make sure its a 7.1:1. Quote
Super User aavery2 Posted August 7, 2014 Super User Posted August 7, 2014 I would go with the Tatula, one of the better 100 dollar reels that are currently available. Quote
ABW Posted August 7, 2014 Posted August 7, 2014 I would go with the Tatula too. The Lews Tournament MG would be my 2nd choice Quote
Super User iceintheveins Posted August 8, 2014 Super User Posted August 8, 2014 I use a BPS PQ, but go with the Tatula out of those. Quote
robster80 Posted August 11, 2014 Posted August 11, 2014 i use a lews super duty. tourney mg would be a good one too tho Quote

Then you will consider the MG as heavy since they basically weigh the same. The LFS is coming in at 7oz. If you need lighter that the TTpro comes in at 6.7oz but that is going to run you $150 at least. Quote
