Lews speed spool LFS decent??

[Joedodge]

So my local fleet farm has lew speed spool LFS on close out for $74. Seems like a decent deal compared for the $100 normal price tag. But are they a decent reel? I’ve always fished carbon lite 2.0 or Daiwa stuff in the past.

Yep. My favorite “cheap” reel.

If you like your Carbonlite 2.0 you’ll like the LFS. I’m pretty sure they’re the same platform.

That’s what I noticed playing with it honestly. They have tatula xt rods in stock just gonna pair it with that

Yes, adequate reels for the money and when on sale definitely worth grabbing.

Although I don’t have a Tatula XT I trust everyone on here who seem to have nothing but praise for it, in fact I’m still debating on picking up the bfs model. I will add I had a Carbonlite 2.0 combo and although I felt it was really nice especially considering I bought the combo when they first came out for $120.00 I just couldn’t get comfortable with the reel in hand, but definitely zero issues as far as cast ability and retrieval.

Everyone does have such good opinions of them. I love my carbonlite combos. But god I just don’t like the white lol. Not that I care they work great but I just don’t like it lol

@Joedodge I’m with you on the white although I did just purchase a Carbonlite spinning rod to match my Carbonlite spinning reel and have a White Lews TP1 rod to boot🤷🏻‍♂️

lol! I get it. Like I said I don’t like the white. But for the bargain they are. I’m just fine with it they perform well. I’m an avid bank angler. Not like there’s money on the line. I love nice tackle and this is my only hobby. But it’s not like there is any return on investment besides my happiness lol

I got one for 50% off at Dick's and it has been good. Only fished it for a month or so last fall, but I am putting it through its paces this year and so far have no complaints.

You won't have any regrets. Own both, recommend both 100%.
