In all honesty tho I would have to say if I was to change anything about a lews reel, or if there was something I didn't care for. It'd be the drag system.

That I agree with. I have to turn the drag up a lot while reeling in fish.

there reels are great its all i run anymore...there rods on the other hand are garbage

The Custom Speed Sticks and the Custom Lites are far from Garbage. They're outstanding rods.

After a considerable amount of research, I purchased a Lew's Tournament MG Sped Spool for my first baitcasting reel. Managed to find it brand new for $50.00. Freaking steal of a deal.
I've put that thing through so much abuse, and it's stood up to everything. It casts a mile, retrieves super-smooth, and has a great brake system and drag.

I wouldn't hesitate to buy another Lew's Reel and would highly recommend them.

I picked up one of these lew's carbon fire bait caster from dicks sporting goods.  I think it is a special model made for dicks only.  I have not been able to find it anywhere else.  For the price it is a great reel.

I originally purchased the Mach 1 baitcaster combo last month to use for spinners and cranks. I started using it for the 90 size Whopper Plopper and haven't taken it off! I love this combo and will probably buy another one in the future.

Tournament Lite SS tackle warehouse is selling them cheap now. Great reel, the ACB casting control is the best I've used.

shimano excels above all other reels imo!

I prefer plain peanut butter over peanut butter and jelly. There, that's two answers that have absolutely nothing to do with the question....lol.

I have 4 LFS reels and love them! They have been totally reliable.

I have two of the Team Lew's HM85 rods and I liked the first one enough to buy the second. I also have a Tournament Pro that I think is a great reel.

I have 2mbs and 2lfs ss. They are all solid. As mentioned earlier the drag can be touchy.
