I just bought a lews tournament pro for a good deal at $160 plus a rebate for a boat bag any opinions on this reel from you guys?

BTW Im a shimano guy

It's not a SHIMANO so expect negativity.

lol im a shimano guy too but I want to try something new i dont like all the play in my citicas and curados handle even though its minor

LOL, you aren't a Shimanno guy anymore.

i owe tdz's zillions and a curado 200e and like my lews tournament pro just as well as any of the other reels

you cant go wrong with that reel my daiwa's were all more expensive and that reel works just as well as them

Ull notice it is a lot smoother on the retrieve than any curado or citica. Ull notice that the magnetic brake will come in handy in some situations. Ull notice the spool tension knob clicks. You might notice a weight difference. I can. The only thing i like better on my citicas and curados is the wider spool, about it.

The weight difference sold me on it that's why I didn't get the tournament speed spool instead plus the carbon fiber handle looks sick

I have the TS1SH and I love it. What I love most about it is the size and feel of the reel.

LMG where ARE you?

Just thought id share this pic i seen on the LEWS fb page. Looks tiny, looks good

NICE

I should have got a Lews instead of my JMCarbonlite

I've sold all my Shimano's except my Calcuttas and I have one Chronarch 50mg left. I will sell the 50mg, just too lazy to post it. I love my Lews TP.

I own the Curado 201e, Revo STX, JM Signature, and the Lew's Tournament Pro. IMHO the Lew's is the best of the four. It casts farther with virtually no backlash, is feather light, and is much more palmable than the others due to its compact size. I think the STX might be a little bit smoother, but I would still take my Lew's over it any day.

Don't let it get to you LGM, it just takes some longer than others, you'll get it. when you do, you'll love it!!

All this Lews talk, I expected you to jump on your SHIMANO soap box. Now that I have my Chronarchs, Capital letters. Lol
