I’m looking at putting together my ultimate jerkbait combo. Rod will be a megabass destroyer oneten special. I need to figure out what reel To go with. I’m looking at this Lews. Is anyone using it specifically for jerkbaits?

I have my hyper mag on a 6'9" med light phenix that  i use mainly for blade baits. I have occasionally thrown smaller jerkbaits on it. 

I personally like the reel. It cast great and retrieves smoothly. 

I think you'll have a nice combo paired up with the megabass.

Don’t see a Lew’s on a Megabass too often lol but I bet that setup would be light as hell

Yea I’m wanting it to be light I’m not dead set on the reel yet.

My starting lineup is 5 2020 Metaniums, 5 hyper mags, and 2 pflueger patriarchs.

 

These reels are all on rods like Poison Adrenas, Exprides, Experts, and Destroyers.

 

I’ll freely admit that there’s a slew of applications where the hyper mags and pfluegers on destroyers and Poisons hands down outperform the Mets. 
 

For example, a hyper mag on the 6’ 11” MH Adrena is the finest jig/chatterbait skipping combo I’ve ever held. The met isn’t even in the ballpark performance wise.
