Product reviews of Lew's Team Lew's Custom Pro Speed Spin Spinning Reel

Joe : great reel

great reel. I would buy 100 of these if I could

Jacob D : So far it's butter smooth.

I went from a kastking sharky 3 to this guy and it's nice and feels like a solid reel, I havnt pulled in any monsters yet just a few small trout but I have no doubt it will be great for this coming year of fishing.

Steve : Smooth action

Great quality, casts further than my previous reel.

Edward Teach : Nice spinning reel

I mostly use baitcasters but keep a couple spinning reels on the boat for light lures. This one seems as good or better as my higher end Shimano. Paired it with a medium fast Fenwick 6' HMG.

Amazon Customer : Good machine.

This is a good reel for the price. It’s every bit as good as my Plueger president. I’ve never been one to spend a lot on my reel but rather great rods.

Joan : What the?

I ordered a new Lew's fishing reel for a trip this coming weekend and I was sent a used and abused bait caster reel that is no where near the reel I ordered! Very! Very! Disappointed and completely confused!

Scott A. Johnson : Smooth

The 11 ball bearings make this reel one smooth operator. The anti-reverse feature and hardy drag on this reel makes it well worth the the money.

Nonya B : Really smoth action.

So, I got this to replace the one I just lost in a boating incident. The movement is really smooth. Cast really well too. Easy to switch handle to the right so us lefties can cast and reel.

Scott : Great spinning reel

I love lew’s! You can’t beat them for the price, this is a great spinning reel, very smooth

Carolinacliff : Smooth and functional.

Liked the smoothness of the reel.

Amazon Customer : Binds Up During Retrieve

After only two trips the reel is binding up during retrieve. Never had an issue with Lew's bait casting reels but this spinning reel is junk.

Joan : What the?

Brock Fortune : Lew's is #1

Absolutely the smoothest, longest casting,best looking, quality made spinning reel you can buy for the $

Amazon Customer : Best $120 reel I’ve ever purchased

Avid spinning reel user with wants normally exceeding that which I should, but still spend... with that in mind, I bought this to mount on a higher end med-fast Ducket with spiderwire smooth 15lb braid (excellently smooth btw) on the hunt for striper and large-mouth in NE Texas. Fished four days, solid and smooth action with effortless precise casts, except for user error. Ran shallow and medium crank, top water and your normal run-of-the-mill lures. Easy retrieve on the 3 1/2 pounders caught and I only cried a few times watching 6+ pounders pulled in off of bobbers and bait. My other setup for this trip was my tried and true St. Croix rod with temperamental Pfluger supreme that I wish was an original Presidential reel from the early 2000’s.

I will certainly buy more of these Lew’s reels in the future and would recommend them to any of my buddies.

analyst1416 : Outstanding Reel!

Casts far then handles the biggest fish with its extraordinary drag.

ted : So far

Decided to spend more than $50 on a reel. Watch a lot of fishing shows and they're always talking about Lew's. So far I like this reel. It has a very fast retrieve compared to my pflueger president.

Brock Fortune : Lew's is #1

Absolutely the smoothest, longest casting,best looking, quality made spinning reel you can buy for the $

Ye Olde Gamer : Love this drag

Not sure what "sheerness" is and "thickness" doesn't apply to spinning reels. Amazon might want to use different terminology for different countries. The reel however, is very nice. Smooth action and very precise drag.
