Lew's Tournament Pro LFS Speed Spool Baitcast Fishing Reel, Aluminum Frame, Premium 11 Stainless Steel Ball Bearings

Great reel! Although I would buy the KVD reel next time.

The only thing I immediately felt was the packaging, and I'm not going to lie. It could've been better. The reel was unharmed. Great quality. Casts SUPER smooth. I have mine paired with a 7' medium heavy fast action rod. (Using 15lb fluorocarbon) This sucker is amazing. No regrets at ALL. When buying scroll down to the chart and choose the exact ratio / retrieve side you want. As long as you click the one you want you'll get the one you want. I found it a little confusing at first, but just look at the chart compare the differences and get the one that best supports you. Use Honey for a good discount. I got mine for 170. The next day it was back to $200.00. Super happy with the product!

I bought many lews reels and this one is just as good as the rest super super smooth and Light

This has been the best baitcaster I have used in years. I was able to take this out of the box, add line, put it on the rod and with very little adjustment have it casting perfectly with no backlash. I tested in the evening in my yard and spent entire next morning casting in the water without a single backlash. It's worth noting that I am familiar with baitcasters but had a bad experience many years ago and gave up on them. I spent good money on one years ago and just could not get it to work for me. It has been a long time since I was throwing a baitcaster. This made my morning on the water exciting. Totally worth the money. I changed baits several times and they all were different weights. I only adjusted the cast control knob and was perfect every cast. I did even start to back off the palm dial brake several clicks to extend my casts and still had no issues. However I wasnt daring enough to go free spool. Love this reel. Would absolutely purchase again. I also bought a Lews mach crush speed spool that I havent tested yet. I hope it performs as well as this one. Although it has a slightly different set up.Update: I purchased another identical reel because I like it so much. Just got finished fishing with it. The first reel I purchased I have 50lb braid on. The second I put 20lb braid on and man does this thing cast well. Super great distance fishing a kvd sexy frog. No backlash for me. I still havent fished the orange crush reel yet. The rod for that arrived but it was broken in two. I added a picture for those asking about size. That's a chatter bait with a 4 inch zako as a trailer.

Very nice reel, but for $200 it better be.

I'm a Shimano guy at heart, but I've heard great things about the tournament pro. So, I thought I'd give one a try. I'm very impressed with the casting, brake adjustment and palmabilty. No complaints yet.

Decided to try a beginner Shakespeare baitcaster rod/reel combo a few months ago but it felt like something was missing so I went out looking for an upgrade. While this cost almost 3x's the price of my old combo, I could instantly tell the difference after the first cast. The tension knob on this guy is way more sensitive and is actually useful for lures on the lighter side. Also the centrifugal brake system is a huge upgrade and has all but eliminated backlash when casting long distances.

This is a lite weight quiet casting smooth retrieving reel. I have been using it for weightless senko's with a 6' Ugly Stik Gx2 -10-12lb test line, and it gets them out pretty far. It's an upgrade from the Tournament MB, which is an excellent reel also. The Tournament Pro is a little pricy, however it's a different experience and only until you have actually held one in your hands and fished with it, will you know what I mean. I have not caught any giants with it to test the drag, however it handles 3 pounders just fine. The Tournament MP may be a good option if the Pro is not within your budget. I have several Lew's reels and I like them all. The Tournament Pro is my most expensive Lew's and I have no regrets.May 21, 2022.This is my second season with these reels, and I have to say that, I really like using them. The only thing I've noticed, is the white ink on the break settings is rubbing off. Other than that, the reels have been working flawlessly. I would definitely buy them again.

Anxious to try this out. It is now ready to go on the rod and feels great in the palm on a few test casts. Very light weight. Very smooth crank. Not that any of these things matter to the fish but it is also a beauty looking reel.
