Lew’s?

[tunanut]

My son is eyeing a lew’s Mach 2 baitcaster combo that goes on sale tomorrow. It would be $125. I’ve never heard of the brand until recently. Trying to steer him towards a Daiwa fuego and find a matching Rod, but he’s attracted to the colors offered. Anyone have experience with lew’s gear? Thanks

Dunno about baitcasters but for freshwater all I have is Daiwa.

I've heard mixed reviews about Lew's products. Some of it appears good, but some of it is cheap crap they just slap their logo on. I would think for a $125 price tag it had better be decent.

Read some reviews, do your research, but in the end let your son make the final decision.

I have 4 Lews spinning combos, I like them very much.
The St Croix website has a baitcaster or spinning combo on sale tomorrow with a daiwa reel. I am going to purchase that. it’s a nice price.

I had a Lews baitcaster that cost me about $100 and it barely lasted a month. I switched to Shimano baitcasters after that and have found them much more reliable. Some of the higher end Abu Garcia baitcasters are also not bad.

I have 2 lews baitcasters and love them. They are the higher end super duty reels I got dirt cheap. Retail $179.

All the manufacturers are trying to be at every price point. I had some cheaper shimano spinning reels that were total garbage but I wouldn't say all shimanos are garbage. You get what u pay for.

Like lard said do ur research. If it is a best seller on tackle warehouse you can be sure it is good stuff.
