I’m not sure why I don’t notice more Lew’s users. Lew’s has been pushing their low-end reels in Walmart. But the Speed Spool LFS is still a quality item that you can’t get there. 3 Quote

Drew03cmc Posted April 12, 2019 Posted April 12, 2019 I have 3 Fuego CT and am wanting a 6.3 ratio now. Quote
Glaucus Posted April 13, 2019 Posted April 13, 2019 For $130 you can get a Daiwa Tatula CT (retail price). For $110 you can get a Daiwa Fuego CT (retail price). For $100 you can get a Shimano SLX (retail price). You can find sales or go to Amazon or eBay to get them all cheaper. I have Tatulas and Fuegos and my dad has the SLX. My choice would be finding Fuegos for $50-$75. Outstanding reel that isnt much different than the Tatula but is relatively cheaper. 1 Quote

LionHeart Posted April 13, 2019 Posted April 13, 2019 I'm sure the Lews LFS is a solid reel, but for $100 it doesn't make much sense not to upgrade to Tournament MB Quote

LFS retail price is $99 you can find it on sale rarely for $70 Tournament MB retail price is $139 you can find it on sale for $110 or lower. Dollar for dollar one of the best reels I own. It’s a tank of a reel. Never buy a reel for full price. 1 Quote

Allen Der Posted April 15, 2019 Posted April 15, 2019 I bought a lews LFS a few years ago and hated it. Felt cheap compared to my similar priced pflueger and Abu reels. Ended up selling it on eBay Quote

Backroad Angler Posted April 15, 2019 Posted April 15, 2019 Lews or Shimano at that price point ? Quote
akmac Posted April 16, 2019 Posted April 16, 2019 I love the Daiwa Tatulas. I currently own 4 of them and plan plan on purchasing more. I was using Lews and Quantum reels until I found a deal too good to pass up on the Daiwa Tatulas. I'll never go back. Smooth drag, easy to dial in, durable, cast a mile. I just add one drop of oil to the bearings once a week and never have problems with them. Quote
