So Many Lews So Many Options, Looking For Good Shaky Head Reel

[TrapperJ]

Needing a good Lew's shaky head reel at 7:1:1 ratio, i love my lews. the new tourney lite has my interest i hear good reviews too. I see $30 rebate just not sure i want to pull the trigger on a $180 reel.

 

Any other Lew's models to gauge my interest that others are using for shaky head let me know, Thanks!

X2 on the tourney pro. I love mine and got it online for $50. I mostly use it for weightless senkos and that reel will sling them things.

Sorry.  Couldn't help myself. 

 

My Lews experience is limited to the Tournament Pro.  I like it the little I've used it.  A grandson started using it shortly after I got it, and considers it his now.

I'd be looking at a spinning reel for shaky heads.

[TrapperJ]

I've tried them there just not for me.

I use a Tournament Pro 7.1.1. Awesome reel especially for 199.00   I have also had my eyes on a light.  I just haven't pulled the trigger yet either.

 

My favorite shaky is the Extreme with the Owner Deep Throat hook. 

[TrapperJ]

Shaky is one of my favorites and i use it a lot. I think i will benefit from a lighter reel, leaning Tournament Lite Speed Spool 

[tomustang]

I'd go Lite or Pro, you can find both around the $150 mark.

Even if you find that you don't like it they're great for many other techniques

I bought a new Tournament Pro this summer and LOVE it.  I'm anxious to try a Lite with the SpeedCast braking.

 

Tight lines,

A baitcast reel is only good for : "Power Shakyhead" fishing 1/4oz. and greater weight jigheads on 12lb. FC using 6 inch Senkos on Falcon lake bass .

The ideal shakyhead set up is a spinning 2500 series reel , mono backing and either 8lb. FC or 10 ~ 15lb braid + 8lb.FC leader and 1/8th oz. jigheads . Learn how to use this spinning setup and search you tube for Jeff Kriet or A-Mart shakyhead tactics and learn this application correctly ... To use just strictly a baitcast outfit for shakyhead fishing is akin to using the above mentioned shakyhead spinning reel for punching into thick vegetation - there simply is a better way here .

I'm sure he can throw them with the right equipment.
