I use braided with a flouro leader regardless the lure No, what's boring is feeling in something constantly without putting in any of your own action.

Great, I've used the original and loved it. I agree post your findings after using it a while

http://m.basspro.com/Bass-Pro-Shops-Pro-Qualifier-2-Baitcast-Reel/product/161658/ Any body tried these reels? They look sweet and I need a new lower ratio reel to throw spinnerbaits and swimbaits.

Yea already tried that, I don't want to send it back to lews though because it technically works and I don't have the receipt lol. wanna buy it from me?.. jk

Ok, but I can feel the whole handle wiggle back and forth when it is loose but I can run it a little lower and deal with it probably

I've noticed that my Lew's Tournament MB has a rather wobbly handle and recently tightened my drag all the way down and it seems much better. What I was wondering is if this is bad for my reel to tighten it down so hard and if I should loosen it after use. I really have no use for the drag really because I use 30 lb. braid and prefer rock solid hooksets with jigs.

I use a Tournament MB in 7.5:1 and it seems to lay the line on evenly but I might try that.

I usually use 30lb. Power pro spectra on my baitcasting reels but I just bought some 20lb. J-Braid X8 because it was pretty cheap and an 8 carrier braid, what I wasn't thinking at the time was whether or not it will dig in to my spool or not because of its small diameter, Do you guys think I'll have any problems? And how do you guys like X8? Thanks in advance!

Yea for some reason I thought all of the Bb1's had the "delayed anti-reverse" for crankbaits so I looked at the mb instead.

It's been there but has gotten progressively worse

Yea I'm gonna call them, does Lew's exchange reels or just repair them under warranty?

Hi guys, my recently purchased Lew's Tournament MB seems so be making excessive noise on the retrieve. Even when im not pulling a heavy lure it makes the noise and I'm wondering if it is indeed gear noise or if it's the level wind, I'll attach a video I posted of the sound. What should I do?

Alright guys so I've ordered a Lew's Tournament MB baitcaster and I'm wondering what line I should use. I have almost a full spool of 30lb. Spiderwire stealth I used for saltwater fishing last summer and what I want to know is if it's worth it to just go buy some 20lb. Power pro and use that instead. I understand people like powerpro better but is it that much better? Thanks.

I guess ill find out around Christmas lol, thanks anyway

Just wanted something cheap to throw senkos on and came across this thing. Looks nice and Ive had good experiences with Lew's in the past. Can't seem to find any reviews anywhere being that it's brand new, anyone had experience with this thing?

Mainly what I was worried about was longevity, of course these reels haven't been out long I just wanted to get a general idea of how they hold up compared to the president's. I've always preferred daiwa over other brands and was hoping their quality hasn't flushed down the toilet like other brands in this price range have. Ive had a Daiwa regal long cast since they came out, let's hope this one is the same way.

Has anybody had any experience with the Daiwa RG-AB? I've looked around the internet and it seems like nobody has anything to say about it. Looks solid and I'm very close to buying it.

Great, looks like a winner!

I just looked at the RG's and they look pretty solid, I think that might be my reel. However, I'm not finding many reviews and I'm wondering if you have personally used this reel.

I looked at the revros too, I love daiwa. That sorta led me to my next question, which reel is better? President or revros?

Good to hear!

Hi guys, I Recently returned a shimano sahara bc it wasn't smooth and felt real rickety. Will I be disappointed with a President? I've heard good from friends but they have older models and they are made from cheaper materials now i think. Just looking for a cheaper reel to keep around that I can beat up a bit. Thanks, Jeff.

ill look at those but this deal on the Croix is mighty enticing

Wow thanks! That's a huge deal.

I can't find that deal, still shows 100$ for me
