Friday I am picking up the Lew's!


loved the old ones back in the day, I know that the new ones are basically a BPS type reel, but should be a neat addition to the tool box.

how do you like your 50Es? is the LEW;s a curiosity factor? (that is what is intriguing me)...

I have two of each, love them all. the ito just "feels" more connected. the casting is a sublime difference, with the definite edge to the ito (I have orange seals in my Sols).

and a very definitive difference of 1.5oz lighter for the ito (ito 5.9oz, sol 7.4oz)...

feedback request, long time user, sell and buy every so often...

thinking about adding one to the mix... I am looking at the Ultra MBX Casting MBX700MH or a Ultra MBX Casting "Classic" UMBX-700MH-C what is the general consensus on how they compare to a Zillion/Compile/KistlerHEII/NRX/Cumara/St.CroixLegend (I know I threw out pretty much all of my other rods...) b...

Just think of it as a CD spinning - the outside edge of the CD spins slower (Longer Reel Handle - Less work) while the inner CD spins (can't remember the ratio) 4x more faster (Shorter Reel Handle - more work). Both Outer CD Edge and Inner CD spins at different ratios yet get the same work done in ...

how would they compare to a Alpha ito 103, a Pixy (yellow 04), sol for throwing lighter stuff, say 1/8 to 1/4oz?

just trying to see where it would fit in my lineup...

Using Senkos instead of Dingers is not very smart... The action of the Dinger is better IMO. I usually get 4 fish on one Dinger. I'd say I use half a 4.99 pack in a day of fishing. I might lose one crank. I'd have to say its a tie except I love hardbaits and expensive ones at that - so I spend WAAA...

never really thought about my plastics costs, always discounted when I broke one off as "cheaper" than a hardbait. I can look at some of my original Bagley Balsa Killer Bs and think "WOW" what a good investment that was, considering the cost to fish caught ratio. I really don't throw hardbaits anymo...

average outing using senkos, brush hogs or t/r worms, loose maybe three or four setups (tungsten/bead/hook) and go through 8-12 plastics depending on the fish... so: hook (Gamy 2/0 EWG $2.99 for 6) = .50ea tungsten bullet (bulk 3/8 10 for $12) = $1.20ea bead cheap in bulk = .05ea a terminal setup wo...
