if you enjoy your Pro Qualifier you will enjoy a Lews, internally they are the same design and use the same type braking. The Lews is a smaller profile and weights less.

Then I'll be going with the lews. New reel will be going on the kayak

1. Shimano Curado or Daiwa Tatula/Lexa

2. Revos SX

3. Lews, Pflueger (Bang for buck Supreme XT), Quantums,

 

Just my opinion based on use.  Sometimes you can get a deal on this little Jewel of a reel,

Is there a specific reason lews is in last place?

Don't get me wrong they are good reels, but not a big fan of magnetic brake system compared to others, I believe they do offer a dual system on the higher end reels.  So at that $160 price point I would pick the Pflueger Supreme XT, Daiwa Lexa/Tatula (yes, mag brakes,but better than MG), and the Quantum Smoke before the Lews.  As well as the Curado E or I which can be found for $160.   I have had mixed results with Revo series, but the pure centrifugal brakes ones shine the S series Revo.not the SX as I posted.

The Lews reels at the $160 price point have both magnetic and centrifugal breaks as well.
