Bass NC reply :
I'm sitting in class and I'm so bored so I thought I'd start this topic as I am in the market for a new lews baitcaster. Any ideas or advice?

Pay attention!

That's pretty funny. You should be paying attention. To answer question, Lew as a great line up. I personally enjoy very much the MG pro and TT pro.

I've only ever used, handled or seen my Tounament Pro, so that is my favorite Lews b/c reel.

Super Duty is great for techniques when you need power. Frogging, big jigs, swimbaits, pitching/flipping, etc.

Team gold!!!! Lite, strong, durable, and it's a dream caster. Now pay attention lol

Out of the lews I have the bb1 pro.

I have two Tournament Pros (I don't own nor have I tried any of the other Lew's models). These are my favorite two reels. All my other reels are Shimano or Daiwa which I really like but not as much as the Lew's.

Lew's Tournament Pro Speed Spool Casting Reel 7.1:1

None. The tourney pro is too finicky. The BB1/BB1 pro hold too much line for me.
rippin-lips reply :
I have owned a total of 10 Lews casting reels. This doesn't include the bb1 pro,super duty, or the team Lews models. Out of all of them the tournament pro was my favorite. It holds an average amount of line and has a fair price tag of $150 online.

Finicky in what way?

I've never heard someone complain about holding to much line. That's a first for me
rippin-lips reply :
More line equals more weight and a heavier spool overall. Doesn't fair well with lighter lures.

I found the braking system to be a pain. I never did like dual braking though so take it with a grain of salt.

The spool of the bb1/bb1 pro most likely weighs over an ounce when filled with line. 160 yards of 12 lb is too much for me.

I mean I understand where you are coming from I've just never heard that be the reason not to use the reel

I guess so. I wouldn't say that for me my bb1 pro throws a 1/4 oz bait perfect. I don't know how light you are talking though.
rippin-lips reply :
I've never used the bb1 pro so I'm not sure how well it throws a 1/4oz bait. An example though is. It could be 'good enough' for some but when compared to something designed for light finesse fishing such as a pixy it might not do that well at all when you see a reel designed for that application throwing the same thing. That also goes back to the amount of line statement that was made. Why would someone use a reel that holds 160 yards of line for throwing weightless flukes or trick worms. It's not the right tool for the job for certain people. Different strokes for different folks.
cbenson6820 reply :
I vote super duty
Teal reply :
Team Lews Pro is my favorite. Its super light, and built pretty tough. Great for medium action rods and throwing baits that are pretty light or weightless plastics. Reel is silky smooth. I have a Core reel ans the Team Pro gives it a good run for its money. It falls short of the core but is a much better value Compared to the Core. Drawback is the price tag compared to the tourney pro and superduty, which are also great reels.
Tied for second is the Tourney Pro ans the Super Duty. The Tp is light. It balances great on almost all modern ML-MH rods. I love the dual braking system. It really is dummy proof. I've used mine for almost three years and they are still going strong.
Super Duty is a little heavier but still is at a great weight for such a beast reel. If you prefer mag breaks and don't need a 6.5 oz reel, then this one is amazing. Strong, hold a good amount of line, can tie direct with braid and casts well.
Teal reply :
The only Lews I have not used are the Team Gold, and the BB1 pro and the BB2
Arv reply :
TP, but thats he highest I've gone. Almost bought a BB1 pro, but just got another TP
justinm811 reply :
I am about to be in the market for a lews reel. Will be pairing with a duckett micro magic heavy rod with 50 pound braid for frogging heavy cover etc. Which Lews reel would you recommend for that setup?

I only use Lews & just got the BB-2Z for my new swimbait rod. It is an absolute dream to use.
McAlpine reply :
I've owned alot of different reels over the years and I have yet to run into one I thought was better for the money than a Lew's Tournament Pro.
greyleg33 reply :
T Pro. Of all the reels I own I like those best.
