MacDaddyFishin Posted November 17, 2014 Posted November 17, 2014 I'm looking at the Lews Speed Spool series baitcasters, was wondering what everyone thought of them? I've read great things about the reel, just wanted to get some feedback about em. Thanks again guys!! Quote
BasshunterJGH Posted November 18, 2014 Posted November 18, 2014 I like my speed spool, but I like my new ss lfs a lot better. A little bit smoother, lighter, more compact, and it has a clicking drag. Just my opinion I prefer the lfs. The speed spool is a good reel too. Quote

I've heard it is super smooth, and casts a mile away with ease. 1 Quote
Global Moderator Bluebasser86 Posted November 18, 2014 Global Moderator Posted November 18, 2014 I have the regular speed spool on my spinnerbait/buzzbait/bladed jig rod and I have zero complaints. 1 Quote
boostr Posted November 18, 2014 Posted November 18, 2014 Have the SS for my cranks, it's quiet and smooth. Just received the Tournament MG it's also quite and smooth, it has the clicking drag and spool tension knob. I'm really starting to become a big Lew's fan. Quote
MacDaddyFishin Posted November 18, 2014 Author Posted November 18, 2014 Thanks for all the info guys!! Really looking forward to putting one on my rods and give it a spin! Quote
bass raider Posted November 19, 2014 Posted November 19, 2014 I owned one &it was the best $100 reel I've ever had my hands on.the smoothness of that reel has only been matched by my curado I.its actually quieter than my curado. Quote
atcoha Posted November 19, 2014 Posted November 19, 2014 Bought a lews ss a few months ago...so far I really like it. Although, I only had some cheap bps to compare it to, it was a nice nice upgrade. Quote
Super User ChrisD46 Posted November 19, 2014 Super User Posted November 19, 2014 Food for thought : For $29 dollars more would the Tournament MG be a better buy OR the proven Speed Spool for $49 more ? Quote

Super User Senko lover Posted November 21, 2014 Super User Posted November 21, 2014 Just curious, how does this reel compare to the BPS Pro Qualifier? Quote
