Comments: Honestly I was a-little nervous buying a lews reel after being a diehard shimano fan for many years. Wow, all I can say is wow. My previous do all bait-caster was a shimano metanium. This reel feels just as smooth for a fraction of the cost. Plus it is LOADED with features and a super easy to dial in casting control. I am very pleased with my purchase and I'm happy I decided to switch over to a new brand. Shimanos quality is just not the same anymore. With lews I feel like you get a tougher than nails do it all caster. It's quiet, casts well & doesn't break the bank. There is a reason it is on the "top sellers" page. Thanks lews. I'm happy!

Comments: These reels are a great buy at any price, but at the TW sale price they are an absolute steal! They are light, smooth and deliver long, trouble free casts with any size lures. I have owned and used most of the Lews reel models and they are all good, but the Custom Pro and the Custom Lite are my favorites.

Comments: I have 2 of these and I wouldn't have bought the second one if I didn't like the first one. This is a cut above the Tournament Pro - it is smoother and just "feels" better. As best I can tell it's identical to the Tournament Lite, just a little (and I mean little) heavier. Great reel.

Comments: This is a very nice reel. I am a shimano fan and decided to give Lews a fair shot. I Used this reel as Un biased as I could get myself to be and here is my opinion. The reel is very nice. Its Pros are its light, casts far, and its very smooth. Cons: My only complaint about this reel is that it feels kid of "loose" to me. Now, The loose feel doesnt mean it feels cheap. Like I said I mainly use shimano and they for sure have a more solid and compact feel IMO. That being said, This is still a fantastic reel. I find myself picking this up over the Curado dc every once in a awhile just to compare them. Both great reels and dont be afraid to buy this one!

Comments: Lew's reels are all that I will buy. And like the others I own this one works awesome. Super smooth retrieve and it just works flawlessly. I have owned this one maybe a year and a half and I could not be happier with it.

Comments: My favorite and main baitcaster now. Very smooth and quiet. Great casting distance. It also works very well for flip cast. Personally I like its looking as well.
