Comments: What a disappointment coming from Lew's. I purchased this reel primarily to use for larger swimbait (1 oz and better) this reel doesnt cast any better than an old Zebco. I have numerous Lew's rods and reels that I simply love, but this product is the Pitts. I guess if you dont spend $200.00 or better Lew's products less than desirable. I can't believe the even put their name on this one.

Comments: Update: I've now had this reel for around 2 years, I've thrown everything from Hinkles, 250's, Hudds, donut shads, islide 262's, and tons of others, maybe the doods below me got bad ones idk but I've put mine through the ringer and it makes no noise at all, regularly maintained but nothing extreme so possibly they have a problem with quality control who knows but I have stuck some good ones with mine including a nice 5 a little wile back on a DRT K9. So for me this reel has stayed pretty true, maybe I just take better care of my reels?

Comments: Normally love Lews. But, this reel is just bad. Makes noises, and the adjustments do nothing. It cant even handle throwing a 168 size S-Waver

Comments: Not impressed at all. Loudest reel I have ever heard. Bought this because Iâ•ÂË™ve worn out a few low profile baitcasters with heavy Carolina rigs and swimbaits. Took it out of the box and thought I was going to like it, seemed smooth. Put line on it and with the first cast I hated it. Make all sorts of racket. Spend a little more and buy a better quality reel.

Comments: This is a great reel. Great quality like all lews products. Picked this guy up for throwing big swimbaits and it performs flawlessly. Great big bait reel. Highly recommend.
