Has anyone used this reel at all yet? How smooth is it and have you had any complaints with it? It's the silver one with the partial cork grips! Thanks

I prefer my BB1 to it. I felt no difference between the two. and at $100 difference, I'd look into the BB1.

I love my bb1

HZL?

I have it. It's a great reel. Very smooth and casts far. Doesn't require a lot of adjustments between lures.

I also have one. no complaints at all, to me its really smooth and casts far. I love it. I don't have a bb1 pro but have a super duty and tournament pro, and to me its smoother and casts farther than both, but it is really light, if I put the team lite on a rod that's longer than 7 ft, the rods get really tip heavy, while with my super duty and tournament pro, my rods longer than 7 ft aren't tip heavy at all and balance the rods much better. I use it on my squarebill/shallow cranking rod and its great to fish with

I haven't used that one yet but own two Lews Tournamnet Pro's and love them.

I was handling the lite speed spool today in store. Honestly, I felt like my lews tournament pro was much smoother/better feel and just built better. But that was only from handling the reel for about a minute. Just my opinion but I'd get a tournament pro.

You can't go wrong with any lews reel that is $100 or more in my opinion.

Basically, everyone is saying buy a Lew's that's over $100. We all agree that they're great reels.

I have buddies that have the Lews Carbon Fire from DSG and they like theirs. for 60 bucks i think.
