I can hardly find any reviews on this reel, and the ones ive seen have been good reviews. Has anyone had any experience with the reel? How do you like it? Is it worth the price? Ive been going back and forth between finally buying either a Daiwa Tatula for $96 or Quantum Accurist PT for $76 to pair with my 7' Lew's TP1 Speed Stick. Both look really good, both have good reviews, which is better for the money and why?

Anyone have any experience with the Hangkai outboards that are everywhere on eBay and Amazon? How do you like them? Im looking at a cheaper (on a budget) outboard for my 13' Gheenoe to replace my 55lb trolling motor for a longer trip and slightly faster speed

This has most likely been done before (sorry if it has) but i can not find a thread to it so... I would like to know what your personal all time favorite go-to lure for bass fishing along with the technique used! Here's a chance to share your ways to others.

Will do ☺ Yeah I've seen alof of guys recommending Lews products just as much as Daiwa. Only way to find out which is my preference is to try both. Some say they're really light and palm better than others that weigh significantly more than others reels but weight doesn't bother me much, its the overall balance of the combo. we'll see how it turns out

Thank you for all your help, I think I've narrowed it down to go with the standard Tatula in 7.3:1 on a Lews TP1 Speed Stick and depending on the money, possibly picking up a Tournament Pro... Or I recently found a Lews LFS for $81 I could try out(if anyone has any experience with them chime in) as a jig reel

I prefer the finish on the standard to go with the white Speed Stick, would the 8.1:1 33" IPT be that much better than the 30" IPT 7.3:1?

Alright, thank you for your input Most likely going with the standard Tatula paired with a Lews TP1 Speed Stick first off since its a cheaper alternative with very good reviews, then down the road a few months pick up a Tournament Pro for topwater usage.

Is the Type R really worth the extra money over the standard Tatula?

I might just have to

Haha, actually "new" off of eBay. Being on a tight budget, certified stores are tough to come by good deals.

IPT of 6.3:1 base is 26" and 7.3:1 at 30" HD at 6.3:1 and 28" 7.3:1 at 32" Type R is 6.3:1 at 26" and 8.1:1 33" Would the extra inch between the HD and Type R at 32"/33" make much of difference?

Thank you for your input. What gearing did you have on your Type R? Im looking at 7.3:1 in the base Tatula for worm, i think 8.1:1 in the Type R would be a little overkill.

I have a few years (3 or 4) with casting reels including Okuma's, Pinnacle, Outdoor Angler's,Quantum, Shimano and 1 Diawa but no experience with Lew's. The weight of reels doesnt really bother me much at all. I had used an Abu Garcia Black Max which was fairly light and small to me and just didnt feel right.

Am i gonna be the only one to say Duckett or Castaway?

I know its been discussed multiple times but im looking at getting a new baitcaster and i'm stuck between either a Tatula (whether it be original,HD or Type R) and a Lew's Speed Spool series (BB1 or Tournament Pro). Who's had any experiences with any of these reels, whats your input and which would you choose. Base Tatula ~ $98 Type R Tatula ~ $119 HD Tatula ~ $127 Lew BB1 ~ $122 Tournament Pro ~$137
