Lew's Classic Pro Speed Spool SLP Baitcast Reel

For the money, this is a slick casting reel with magnetic brake control. I like how Lew's has such a solid entry level reel at an affordable price. The drag is adequate. The retrieve is super smooth. The casting is good and this thing fits my hands well for hours of fishing. I also have their higher end reels and this is not bad. The graphite frame might turn some away, but this is still fun to use.

This reel is really nice. It was easy to adjust. My psychiatrist has to tighten up the nut on the handle as there were some bird nesting caused by failure to follow fundamentals. When technical points were done correctly, this casts nice with a 1/4 oz jig. Drag is easy to adjust. Quiet and reels in easy.

I love this reel for both fresh and brackish-salt water fishing (rinsed thoroughly after each use)! I’ve caught largemouth, smallmouth, speckled trout, flounder, redfish, and even a few catfish. It’s so lightweight you can cast it all day long, but with 15 lbs. of drag, I’ve never felt overpowered. I use this reel with a variety of rods from medium light to medium heavy. Great reel for the price and pretty durable for how often I’ve used mine in brackish/bay fishing.

Bought this reel thinking I’d casually dabble in fishing. Three weekends later, I’m standing ankle-deep in a creek, whispering sweet nothings to this reel like it’s a trusted war buddy. It casts smoother than a pickup line at a boat show and reels in fish like it’s personally offended they’re trying to escape.

I got this reel in sale for $49.99. Used this reel for the first time this week, oiled the bearings and the line guide 1st before going out. The oil worked it's way in after about 5 casts or so and this reel is simply worth every penny for the price point. It far exceeded my expectations based on price point, and is holding 30lb Suffix 832 braid without issue. Casts smooth and FAR. It's a smaller profile, perfect for palming, and it's just smooth! Once you have it dialed in there's no backlashes at all unless you mess up badly. Dialing it in was very simple. You really don't have to mess with much at all afterwards. Solid construction, smooth long casts even with heavier braided line, smaller profile making it very comfortable in hand, overall far outweighs the other baitcast reels I've used in this price point. Worth every penny, I wish I bought more of them.

I love this reel it's a great piece! Amazing price for the product too and it works great!

Ive been using this reel with a medium light Abu Garcia rod all this season for around 4 months and it is definitely a keeper. It's just as smooth as it was when I pulled it out of the box.it handles 20lb braided line flawlessly and it doesn't backlash or bird nest as long as you have the slightest experience with a bait caster reel. This is my go to no matter where im fishing or what im fishing for except for catfishing then I bust out the Lews lazer series or the ambassador or my penn. Definitely something you wont be disappointed with if your thinking about maybe buying one just do it, and i guarantee you won't regret it.

Nice quality reel for very little expense always reliable
