How do the old BB1NGs compare to the newer models for crankbaits?  Is it even comparable.

    I don't think so  -  the old Lews were made by Ryobi, I think and I don't think Ryobi exists anymore, at least in the US domestic market.  I've got one old Less reel.  It is an ok reel but it doesn't compare to current reel technology - even current cheap reel technology.    For me, the old Lews reel is something to play with on my desk.

    I don't think so either, They were made by Shimano, Ryobi and I believe there was a third.

    In the day they were considered low profile but by todays standards they are a brick.
