Just bought a reel, but 2nd guessing now

Featured Replies

I picked a Lews Mach Pro for $48 total

 

Bought the Lews LFS last week and really liking it. So I ended up buying the Mach Pro, but thinking of taking it back and getting a JM CarbonLite 2.0 instead.

 

What they had deals on

Lews Mach Pro $50

Lews Custom XP $50

Lews LFS $40

BPS JM CarbonLite 2.0 $60

 

Looking for something that will be a decent all-round reel. Right now have it on a 6'10 MH Fast Lews Hank Parker

If you’re liking the LFS @$40.00 why don’t you just buy another one ?

My Last Baitcaster was a KVD Quantum Tour. The Spool Tensioner Clicks. I like that feature. Out of all those they had. The LFS is the only one that doesn't click. The CabronLite 2.0 also matches the rod I have better.

LFS for $40? I'd be all over that. I had two Carbonlite 2.0's. Both went geary pretty fast. My oldest LFS is 5 or 6 yo now. Still smooth. Best reel at their price point IMO.

You made me curious enough to look, and I ran into this the Lew's Custom Speed Shop Speed Dial.  I don't know if I would pay $22 for it, but that is a neat little gadget.

I also put a carbon handle on mine with the knob. It's a nice little reel.

Get both is always the correct answer.
