I like the looks of them, they have some nice components.

Time will tell though.

I saw them too - the Lew's reels are at TW as well.

On the rods - at least they have a good hook-keeper design (listen up Loomis, et al)...as to sensitivity, etc., I guess we'll only find out if someone "takes the plunge" ! :

really like the looks of the team series rod....not much on the price

I'll never own one at those prices.

Those reel seats are a deal breaker.

They appear to have very similar specs to some of BPS higher-end offerings, but at a higher price.

I'll pass, thanks.

My Lew's reel arrived today, but with the handle on the WRONG FRICKING SIDE! >    That's what happens when you make your order while you're half asleep.

Oh well, you guys will have to wait a week or so for the review. :'(

I liked the look of the tournament pro series, but thats about it.

Those reel seats are a deal breaker.

What's wrong with the ACS seat?

What's wrong with the ACS seat?

They're uncomfortable for me, and the tip of the trigger gets mangled.  I'm trying to think what rod I had used that seat, but drawing a blank.  Is there a Fenwick with it?  Anyway, didn't work for me.  Apparently others as well.

Alot of rods are using that seat now.............and I hate it as well. St Croix Legend Elites, and Extremes use it, Fenwick HMG's, Quantum KVD cranking rods, are the ones I can think of off the top of my head.

I have a CARA Micro with the ACS and I like it. I guess it's just the difference in hand shapes.

Lifetime warrenty is great too
