I'm the only person in the world who hates Lew's

I bought a Lews Tournament Pro and a BB1.  Both perform flawless and nothing is peeling off them. I have owned them for over a year, no problems at all. I have owned 3 Shimano Curado's for a few years now...they perform just as well as my Lews, I like both companies a lot. I also take care of my reels and have them cleaned and lubed when needed.

That being said, there are some lower tier Shimano and Lews reels I would never pay for. I feel when it comes to this subject, you get what you pay for, in most cases.

I just purchased my first Abu Garcia reel, an Orra Winch for crank bait fishing.  It was only 90 dollars but I hear they are great for crankin.  

To each their own, I want to buy a nice Diawa next.  I don't care about the name on the reel as long as it performs well and last a long time.

      I don't hate anything, every brand has it plus and minus's.    What turns me off on one brand or another, believe it or not, is their marketing strategy. Obnoxious, in your face advertising

      There are many choices at every pricing point. Maybe you should focus on Shimano, Diawa, Pinnacle and Okuma.
