Not quite.  Take away the JDM and "power handle" jigging reels, and they both offer about the same number of models.

I guess it could be deceiving but there's 31 Daiwa reels available on TW, and 21 Lew's.

Even then that's not "twice as many."

Hence the "probably"

Combine the tuned "R" versions, and the legacy models with a new paint job in the SV line, and it's even less.
But I digress, MORE MODELS IS A GOOD THING!!!

The problen with lews i think itms too many reels in a small price range. They have 5 or 6 reels in the 70 to 130 price range i believe.  Or thats what i saw last time i went to cabelas. I was confused. I didnt know which model was higher tier that the others so i just got another shimano

What pre-Curado 70 Shimano reel would you compare to the LFS platform in terms of size? The 50e? Yeah, no thanks.

 

The shimano Core 50...
