Quick pic from ICAST tonight.  I should have taken more.  

Thanks for the pic! Do you have any comparison of the new Team Lite's size to the current Tournament Pro? My guess is that the reel would be capable of casting lighter things like weightless senkos and 1/4oz jigs/trigs. Any info on its casting capabilities in regards to weights? Thanks!

They are listed for pre order at TW. Looks like the new pro lite has a push button side plate release mechanism like older bps reels. I'm liking this reel quite a bit. May be time to venture outside my box.

I'm with you on that one hogsticker. I didn't care for the MSB on the TP, but the pro lite and the other tournament lite or whatever it's called with the same speedcast are definitely interesting.

I have actually been emailing Rick at lews several times basically begging him to put the speed cast in a reel based on the same frame as the tourney pro (and other non-bb1 reels). Hire me lews.

I think I'm gonna pre order one. It has all the Lews features I like. About time
