*Great reel, **enjoyable.fishing** recommend very smooth and I love that you can change from left hand to right hand so easily. Gave it a 4 on durability because I haven’t had it long enough to rate it. Doing good so far.*
Looks good for jigging for flounder or other bottom fish so you can keep contact with the bottom easily. John Skinner uses a flipping switch for vertical jigging and he likes it for that.
Love my Super Duty's..........AND my Pro-G's.........AND my BB1 PRO'S. I can honestly say all 3 models I own are the smoothest, most dependable reels I've ever fished, having owned them all for 17 months now. Not a single problem or issue. Been bass fishing for over 40 years. I've used just about all the best reels........and I wouldn't trade my Lew's for anything else.
Hmm. Maybe that’s just me but I think I wouldn’t use this function myself. Good though that it is optional! I myself would have an issue to press the clutch button plus having my thumb very lightly controlling the spool within my throws. I am concerned that I either press not hard enough the button or too light or hard the spool. But maybe that’s like heel and toe driving with a clutch car too and it’s just practice and getting used to it. Has anyone tried this already yet and sees a real advantage there or not really ?
That was really interesting, I had no idea Lew's had come up with such a smart system. Which brings me to my question, why would an angler ger a reel with a handle on the wrong side which means they have to cast with their right hand THEN switch the rod to their left had to free up the right hand for reeling? Rather than just owning a reel with the handle on the opposite side (in this case left) which would mean they wouldn't need to change hands after casting. For instance you cast with your right hand and the reel handle is on the right for a right handed retrieve, yet you only have one right arm and hand. If the reel handle was on the left you wouldn't have a problem and wouldn't need two right hands
Lew's needs to put that on a version of the custom speed spool and make it for $200 because they have a $180 custom but then they jump too the $240 i think Lew's custom pro just a thought from a highschool angler
I don't see any real use for that switch for me. I cast with my right and retrieve with my left so I wouldn't have to switch hands. I turn that handle as soon as the bait hits the water. Or maybe its just me , not trying to say it's useless for others.
The switch is on left hand retrieves as well. Its so the spool is already engaged when you let off the button. Also makes the presentation quieter bc of no sound from the reel clicking over

Hopefully this helps those who just don’t understand something that’s been around for a long time. It’s a very handy feature.
Love all of my lews. I have over a dozen, and this is my next one!
I'm looking at getting this reel. Did you end up getting it and if so can you tell me what you think of it?

Not sponsored by Lews but I am a Lews man all the way!

Agree. I'll never understand why people rather switch hands after the cast.
@@shredpixer Yes man, I just want to hear an explanation from someone that does it. They might have their reasons who knows 😂
Im trying to find out what kind of soft plastic he was flipping lol
I want to know the same thing lol
Think it’s a gene larew bass shooter
Is that a 300 style reel. Bigger looking then usual. Thats really a cool feature to have. Im one of them that switch hands lol.
I still don’t know what the flipping switch does
Question Andrew. What bait is that?
I wanna know this too! So bad!!!
Awesome video bro!! Hoping our channel gets to your level someday!
I love all my Lews Reels but I find this switch is pointless for me.
Lew's needs to put that on a version of the custom speed spool and make it for $200 because they have a $180 custom but then they jump too the $240 i think Lew's custom pro just a thought from a highschool angler
hunting_fishing custom pro is 260

If your switching hands, use a left handed reel...
