I stopped by Lew's a couple days ago to see the new Ozark Fishing Museum and hopefully fondle the new Best Of Show baitcaster from iCast.

 

They had one reel there available to look at. (They're not quite released yet) I gotta admit...it's small, light, and ridiculously smooth.

 

The new brakes are a 4-pin ACB adjustable similar to the adjustable centrifugal brakes from the last few years except the configuration of the brake shoes look like they'll be quieter. The contact points just look wisely refined. You'll see when they release.

 

Anyways...as awesome as my team Lite and Pro-G have performed, this one looks new to be even better.

Go Lews!

 

My only concern is the longevity of those knobs. But I'm sure they'll last plenty long if you take care of them just like anything else.

Great looking reels, I think I'm ordering the new Tourney Lite soon for my topwater rod

Nice looking reel!
