Never mind I see you say all brass gears in the vid, but are you sure, like taken a peek inside yourself? Was looking over the manual on pdf and it says heavy duty aircraft grade hard anodized aluminum gearing, which I assume they are talking about the main and pinion gear, but all the video reviews and even the info page on lews say brass (but the manual I got was off their website too). I’m just not sure about brass because I’ve been using a tatula with brass gears for 6 months and had to replace the gears because they were so corroded already. Aluminum sounds like it may be weaker than brass but figure better for avoiding corrosion.
We apologize for the miscommunication with Custom Inshore having aluminum gears. Originally, the reel was going to have aluminum gears to save weight, but after talking with our product testers it was determined that the brass gears simply hold up better in saltwater applications over time. We appreciate you bringing this to our attention, and was simply an oversight on our part and the website will be updated accordingly
Lew's Fishing - Huh, well I figured the Tatula frame was made of aluminum and seeing as salt water seemed to always find its way in the handle side side-plate causing the brass parts to fall apart while causing no corrosion on the inside between the frame and side-plate on what I assume is bare aluminum, I assumed aluminum may have better corrosion resistance but thanks for the info. Strangely the brass gearing on my much more inexpensive Abu BlackMax has held up much better while older, with similar amount of use, while still maintaining absolutely no sign of corrosion on the brass. Either way I have had Daiwa replace the gears on the Tatula and decided to retire the Tatula to lakes and rivers and picked up one of your Custom Inshore Speed Spools and hope that it will do the combined job of casting far like my Tatula while holding up to salt water like my black max. Haven’t had a chance to use it yet but I can say with confidence it is the best looking reel I own now at the very least.
Great combo barry, can't wait to get mine
Fox Sports Outdoors would this comb be good for heavy punching in bass fishing or big top water baits
Now that you've had the reel awhile has anti reverse gone out on it like all my other Lews reels?
I just bought it for my first bait caster
I'm looking at getting it
How’s it perform?
Could you use in freshwater?
Where do they sell the cane? I can't find her anywhere.
Is it ok to use the inshore rods and reels for fresh water fishing? Or are these just for primarily for salt water fishing only?
@@LetsFishTV Thanks
What’s the action and length on the rod that you were holding?
Is there a difference with this and the combo setup?
Can you cast shrimp with it
I'm thinking of getting this one or the lews lite lfs. I heard both will hold up in the salt I can't decide which one to get. Any advice?
@@LetsFishTV thanks for replying I think I'll stick to this one since I'll be using it mainly inshore for redfish, trout and snook.
Where can I find the tp1 inshore speed stick rod you got ..I've been searching store and websites for it can cant find it nowhere !! Please help
I bought mine from ganderoutdoors.come
Does it have a clicker in the cast control knob?
Nice, know what the main gear and pinion gear material is? Brass, steel, aluminum?
