John, recent subscriber. I really like how your videos are more “raw” feeling. It’s a breath of fresh air from the overproduced stuff all over UA-cam now. You’re just straight to the point and no big frills, which is awesome. Keep doing what you’re doing!
@@JB3_fishing absolutely! Since you’re a big Lews guy, I’m curious what you think of that Tournament Pro reel. Thinking about getting that one for my new Falcon Cara. Either that or the Curado MGL. Only Lews I have is the BB1 Pro. That thing will SLING a 6XD for miles What do you think of the Tournament Pro?
Mach Jacked, HyperSpeed, American Hero Tier 1, HyperMag, Pro Ti!!!! CUSTOM PRO ALSO, FOR SURE... Great video and blessings of grace, mercy, peace, and love
Thanks John for all the detailed informations you bring us to each video. You are a gold mine ! It's a pleasure to follow your channel. Happy new year man !
Yes sir let’s go 2025 you just keep making great content videos. I actually have a Lews speed spool and a Mach smash reel but since watching your videos you helped open a huge can of worms lol! Just editing on the right time to click the purchase button. Tight lines take care God bless and welcome 2025 to new and exciting adventures! Thank you JB3
Just picked up a gold reel at the show as well as a great deal on a gen 2! Also got to meet your buddy Andy. Great person! Can't wait for fishin weather!
My absolute favorite reel is the tourney pro! I have 2 of them, 3 pro SPs, 3 BB1pros, 2 custom XPs , 2KVDs and 14 LFS Speed spools. May get a Custom Pro if I see one on sale! Thanks JB! Love all your info!
My favorite is the tournament pro because my wife can cast it all day without asking me to fix her blow up 🤣 i like my Machs and my tournament pros but my favorite, for my use, is the tournament mp. Great real, great price, and I can cast it down to my backing line or flip it. Tried the new custom pro......I ended up sending it back.
@@JB3_fishing Hey John! The one I received I couldn't cast as far as my other reels. When I tried to play with it to get as much out of it as possible it just kept blowing up without thumb control, bad blow ups. I mean really bad and it still wouldn't cast as far running it on the ragged edge. With thumb control it wouldn't blow up but that's the whole selling point of this reel. I wanted something simple and easy for my wife and this just wasn't it. Disappointing but it kind of worked out for the best, she hated the color 🤣
I hate you had that experience! The 3 I have are running like champs. That probably was a bad one. I really appreciate the feedback about your experience.
I should’ve mentioned the Tourney Pro as an honorable mention. Because that’s one of my other favorites but I’m more inclined to grab one of my Top 5 before the Tourney Pro. It would’ve been 6th.
The Lews Custom Lite and the non gold Custom Pro are the pinnicle of Lews casting reels. The pro ti and hyper mag are not improvements, just a typical lews gimmick. I fish mainly Lews, but they are a gimmick company for 75% of the reels.
Theu currently offer 31 different baitcasters. Out of those 31, 6-8 are good, serious, non-gimmick type reels. The mach 1, mach 2, mach crush, kvd, American hero, hyper mag, elite ti, pro ti, inshore....and on are gimmick reels. Their purpose is to make sales with a name or a paint job. Even the higher end ones, hyper mag and the Ti reels are. They offer nothing other reels in the line up dont already. They aren't any lighter, don't offer improved bearings or gearing, and only rhe 500 dollar one has a newer brake system (which is a step back from the ACB)

The BEST $200 reel on the market. Here’s my review of it: ua-cam.com/video/1MD2UzgAtTY/v-deo.htmlsi=g8aUWxG7pICkR6qf

The Tournament Pro is a workhorse for sure! Why did you send the Custom Pro back?

@ dang I hate to hear that! What baits were you throwing?
@@JB3_fishing I was throwing chatterbates, Texas rigs and swim baits.

Surprised you didnt mention the tournament pro or BB1 pro.

@JB3_fishing gotcha. It's all good!
👊🏾👊🏾
$99.00 reel is the best for the money. Never ever had an issue with any of them and I have approximately 25-30 reels.
@@notsogood6249 it’s a killer reel!!!
