J.Michael : Great reel

Love the reel, haven’t hooked up on a huge cat yet but caught a 16 pounder and a 12 pounder along with a bunch of 5s and it did wonderful. Paired it with an ugly stick Striper rod, my favorite cat combo.

Dan O : For the price not bad..if your looking for casting distance,avoid at all cost

Not bad so far..not a smooth caster,but it gets the job done...Update: After using for a few months my thoughts are ..As mentioned before the casting is terrible,i use a 8 ounce weight & big chunk of cut bait for catfishing and well you would think it would cast a country mile,but it doesnt,its loud feels like its going to come apart mid cast..just feels cheap..i would recommend this as a boat reel where casting is not as important...think im gonna replace this with the kastking 60 R

Timothy : Great reel for the price

I own two of these reels and have not had any issues with either of them. The casting distance is good out of the box and can be made better if you know how to set up your reel properly. I’ve pulled in several large flathead catfish and it handled them with ease. For the price it’s hard to beat these reels, put some good line on them and you shouldn’t have any problems.

Jon Sorensen : Not worth the money

I found that this product dosnt live up tho the Lews name! After fishing with it for 3 days the drag has faltered already twice and you cant lock it down like you should be able to. The amount of line is good but cant go over 20# or the reel dosnt cast very well. If ya want a small line dia. and good trolling reel this is good but not for catfish!

david bruce : Lews

Works great

ROSCO : A good loud reel

I read where this reel is loud when you cast and one of mine is. I have 2. The problem is that you have to listen to it for a 75- 80 yrd cast. With a 3oz weight these reels will cast a large chunk of cut bait past my other reels 15yrds . So far they have handled a 32# and 15 # without a hitch. Even my Abu's make a rackit when you cast.

Nicole : Good deal

Bought it and slapped it on a big cat fever rod and went fishing reel casted well and handled all the fish I caught. Haven't used it for very long but so far I am happy

Yedoc1991 : Broken after one use, unusable.

This reel would be rated 0 stars if I could. Used one time, didn’t even catch anything, and the drag stopped working, reel will no longer reel in line. Handle just spins and spool doesn’t. Can pull line out super easily with max drag set. Threw away my money.

Jeremy Fraley : Perfect all around, delivery,, packaging, and love the reel.

Fishing... Love the reel so far.

Corbyn fields : Very much recommend this reel

I have had many baitcasters like this. I would definitely recommend this reel. It performs perfectly. I love this reel

cliff barnett : Great

Very smooth, holds good amount of line for 50 pound mono, however holds a ton if smaller line, 15 pound max drag, just like a abu, but less money but feels like a high end reel, if you cant justify spending $100+ on a reel grab one of these guys wont be disappointed.

WaterZombie : Best round reel for under $100

I was skeptical about getting a round reel that's not an Abu but this thing will sling some lead just as far as my abus with the breaks taken out and it's crazy smooth I'm definitely ordering more
