Do These Fishing Reels SUCK?!?!? (Lew's Reels Review)

- I have been very impressed with each of the Lew's reels that I have owned. So much so that I have slowly made almost my entire inventory of bait casting reels nothing but Lew's.

What's your favorite brand of reel? Aaaaaaaand go!
Lew’s has been my go too for about 5-6 years. Just seem to be built well
Lew’s gave Abu for them! Best choice I ever made! Best 100 dollar reel out there
When I first started fishing with bait cast reels. I used Bass pro reels for years. I keep hearing good talk about Lew's reels and got one. So far I am using nothing but lew's now and have had good luck with all of them even the cheap one seem to hold up for the money. Thanks for the review
Thank you!
I've bought the Mach Crush, Super Duty 300, Pro TI and Hypermag, happy with all of them, Lews all day erry day for me!!
What did you think of the super duty? Been wanting to try one out.
Lew's reels rock!! Just ordered the Lew's Mach Crush. Super excited to try it out!! Great video bro
I’ve certainly been happy with them! It’s been a couple of years since this video but I still have most of these same reels and haven’t had any issues with them.
@@stevebasingerfishing That's awesome
the reels looked legit
keep the vids coming
My lews speed spool lite is my favorite reel I’ve ever had, but my Lews Mach one I was very dissatisfied with. I’m going to try out these you mentioned. Thanks for the review
I’ll have to check out that SS Lite!
I love the lite
Ive used lews reels since the 1970's
They are some good reels!
Love my Lew’s reels. What speed gear ratio do you use for topwater prop baits? Like a plopper or a wake bait?
Midwest Bass Hunter I like a 6.8:1 for that kind of stuff. I think it helps with that slow and steady retrieve.
I've always wanted to try a lews. I actually found this review really helpful brother, new sub for sure. Love how you gave specific examples. Keep it up!
I appreciate the kind words!
Great teaching I just got into the baitcasters and I thought the better gear ratio was good for all fish. But you explained that very well. I have the zeboco 33 platinum, I caught a fee nice size bass on it over 4 to 5 pounds and it's sound like a duck when I cast it. 😂😂. My first baitcatser is a PFLUEGER Monarch (MON73LP) model number and its very smooth. I got one from Temu today in the mail 8-31-2023 and it's on the ay back it was $20 and it was plastic like a toy. Thanks for the reason why you need to change ratios because I didn't know brother thanks.
Thanks for watching. Glad you liked it!
I have Lews, ABUs, Diawas, Shimanos, Shakespeares, and old Ryobi V-Mags. about 20 total baitcasters when all said and done, I prefer Lews #1, and ABU #2, Shimano #3....
I think that’s a respectable list. I have never heard of a Ryobi fishing reel. I’ll have to look those up.
Dude, that lithium/lews combo is legit. My combo of choice is lithium and kovert lt with a lews. I prefer the superduty g. Most bang for your buck. Has an aluminum sideplate.
I’ll have to check out the super duty. It’s about time I look at some new reels!
There is nothing superduty about any reel with a graphite frame. I do like the superduty 300. I have 2 of those.
I just got new ABU Garcia MAX Z left and the new Lew's classic right combo which one is better 🤔 just took them out yesterday first time. Never owned Lew's ⁉️ less fiberglass or more fiberglass that is the question ❓ one more one less but both is medium Rod's but different bow on them. Like the casting about the same almost. Good video make me think
I haven’t used the Max Z but I would still probably lean towards the classic in that scenario. When I used Abu Garcia, they never held up as well as other similarly priced reels. Now to be clear, I never bought any reel of any brand that was in the upper echelons of price. So I have no idea if their more expensive stuff is any better.
I got the LFS same reel, had it for 5 months, started to feel gritty i cleaned it and oiled it, still feels gritty when reeling in only? Not the rod either i switched em out still does it
Really? I’ve still got all of the same reels from this video and haven’t had an issue yet. I wonder if you just got a bad one.
I have only Lews reels in my boat bait caster and spinning reals.
And I bet you don’t have a single complaint!
@@stevebasingerfishing not a one
I love my lews stuff especially my hypermag but my 13 fishing concept z cast farther by slight but the no bearings make it sound like a duck call 😂
I’ve had few reels that doubled as a duck call in my day!
I've had my Abu 5000 since 2007. Nothing wrong with it. Tried lews I just could never get the spool adjusted enough to stop the backlash. Went back to my 2007 baitcaster. It's set to my standards. Lol
Maybe they just don’t make them like they used to? Have you got your hands on any of the newer stuff that Abu makes? If so, I’d like to know your thoughts on it.
@stevebasingerfishing after getting so many backlash out of the lews, I'm afraid to try anything new. 😅 I also have a 1983 5200 abu also set to my standards. Maybe gonna try the KD lews and a newer abu. Will let you know. I was even thinking of crossing over to spinner. Decisions, Decisions.
Never used Lews but I have always wanted to. 13 Fishing is big down here but they’re pricy.
A know a guy in ND that was a big 13 fishing fan. He said that unless you buy the higher end stuff, you still get junk.
I like Lews
Me too!
Is there any Lews reels for Muskie fishing??
I am not aware of any but I also haven’t looked.
Lews cs600
Superduty 300
I have 52 rod and reel set ups. 7 of the reels are not Lew's.
Sir, I think you might have an addiction 🤣
Shimano and Daiwa. Penn for catfishing.
I have had quite a few lews and have had issues with every single one. The build quality on them is so under par in my opinion.
Really? I have had no issues at all with my Lews. Granted, this was all with bass fishing. Have had issues with some of my lower end Diawa reels.
Yea mine is hard to reel in
I like my lews reels but I'm always catching g myself with my diawas in hand. Guess I've tried them all but kast king and 13 fishing. They all make pretty good stuff but my diawas just fish better.
I have 45 Lew's reels. I've had one bearing fall apart in one of them. And, an issue with the drag slipping on a reel that I already knew was a POS. Store exclusive combo with Lew's name on it, so who even knows if the parts are all Lew's.
Dont buy 13 fishing reels theyre crap they dont last for me. Lews even some abu garcia are better buget reels. Lews products are my favorite so far. Ive got an abu garcia that ive had for about 4yrs done no maintenance on it caught some 7lb bass on it and no problems yet🤞🤞🤞
I’ve heard some of those same complaints about 13 fishing reels. I haven’t owned one personally though.
Curado dc all day
I heard those are good
Keep up with the times. Lews USED TO have the best customer service when Lews owned the company and was based in Springfield Missouri. Now you just take your chances. Now I heard Zebco/Quantum bought the company. GOOD LUCK! I think Quantum reels are crap!!!
To be fair, this video is a few years old…
