Thats finesse enough for me.

Bait Caster for Finesse
senko is not light and should cast on any modern baitcaster. i cast 1/10 oz ned rig on a bps 7 ft medium fast patriot rod with 8 lb sufix advance mono with a lews tournament pro reel with ease. thinking of trying it with a lighter jig

Abu Garcia really disheartened me today
this statement that Lews reels arent good because doyo makes them is a bunch of garbage. different brands have different requirements for their reels. its just like automotive. a chrysler uses parts that are used in a maserati and ferrari even though they are different brands. lews reel are a great value for the dollar and i have yet to be outcasted by guys using other brands. their customer service is also excellent.

Braid, causing no bites?

New rod!!
Dial on handle side is spool tension. Set so lure drops slow with rod straight out. Turn clockwise for more soil tension. Dial on other side is magnetic brake. 0 is no brakes. Set at 10 or Max and slowly back off. Learn to loose your thumb. Watch videos on how to cast without backlash.

New rod!!
totally disagree with this. braid is easier to remove it from. and it doesnt damage the line. that said im using mono this year.

Braid, causing no bites?
I've debated that issue for years. Personally I hate flouro. I love braid I fished straight braid for years. I would switch to flouro sometimes but give it up. I'm not a leader guy because I hate the knot going through my guides. Right now I'm using Sufix Advantage mono for lower visibility than braid. That said I don't care what line you have you need to find fish that will bite. I've seen the same thing happen with straight flouro. You either need to find active fish or switch presentations. And remember even pros get skunked.

Keep it Clean and Lubed
Thats why Delaware Valley tackle exists.

Lews HyperMag
I want to hold it first.also wait and let others try it and review it.

Glad to hear you are liking that reel. I wouldn't buy any non aluminum frame reel.

Baitcaster ratios
Larger handle gives you more turning torque helping to make turning the crank easier with the higher gear ratio with a load on it like a 5lb bass. Yes.

Baitcaster ratios
I say yes but put a 95 mm handle on the reel..

SO IS MONO SUPERIOR TO FLOURO?
Try Sufix Advance Mono. It is very low stretch and very sensitive. It is a COPOLYMER and it absorbs less water. Yes I have fished flouro on and off for years. I generally like the sensitivity but hate the handling and the cost.

Bass Pro Shops Johnny Morris Patriot series.

Yet ANOTHER Spinning Rod Recommendation
I would go medium fast .

New Lews tournament mp
As the oil flows out of the bearings it will become nessacary to use more brakes or thumb.
