Great product for the money. No issues with jamming so far. Casts well and the clicker is great. If money is no object than get yourself a catfish series Abu, if money is tight this reel will work well if you are familiar with using baitcasting reels. If you 're going for bigger cats you might consider changing the line.

I have been getting into Bait Caster reels. Bought Shimano, Diawa, and this Lews reel. The Shimano Curado only had 4 brake setting and I could n't get it to cast very far without backlash. The Diawa worked ok. The tention knob was very touchy and hard to access behind the drag. The Lews had a great brake knob that had a good range of tension. It has 20 brake settings and it casts awesome. Get this one....

I am fairly new using a bait caster but the one I had was left handed and I ’ m a righty so I need a new one. I had read the reviews on this reel and although a little more expensive than I had planned on, once I held it I knew it was right. Everything from spooling it up to setting the brakes and the tension was so easy. I highly recommend this reel.

Thefisherman64
I made a decision to purchase this reel because they were on sale. I am a Shimano guy. I bought one and put it on my most abused application. 65 pound braid. On my frog rod. One year later I purchased 2 more due to apparent toughness of the first. Put them on my second and third most used rods. Fast forward two more years, I have replaced all of my Shimano reels. And do n't expect to look back. Cost is 30 to 40 percent lower than the Shimano reels. Thank you for making the choice to keep these reels in an affordable price.

This reel is simply amazing! Finally got to use it for the first time a few weeks ago, and I was really impressed. Spooled it with 12lb fluorocarbon and tied on a 1/2oz. jig. Once I finally got it dialed in to my settings, everything from hard casts against the wind, to skipping docks, I had no issues with backlash at all. Very impressed with the casting distance I was getting and that DC sound!! It ’s like music to my ears. Definitely a must own. If you 're on the edge of buying this, just go and do it because you wo n't regret it. I now own two.

This reel is great. You need to read the paperwork that comes with it. It explains how it has to be set up in order for it to work as it should. For instance as the guy who posted a 2 star said he had the brake setting at 4 and the tension set to a slow fall. Is not how it should be set up. The directions state tension should be set looser than you would a non dc reel, to allow the dc to work correctly. You also need to use the correct brake setting for the type of line you are using. Granted you can cast without setting it up correctly it the dc wont function right. My honest opinion as someone who is intermediate/ newer to baitcasting( 2yrs) this reel is great for the cost and does what its supposed to do. However if your having issue it's probably user error and you should read the paperwork and try again. Then if you have issues it could be the reel. I 'm going to buy another one or I might buy the metanium dc. I love the sound too

I bought this reel almost two weeks ago To fish for stripers, catfish, and carp. The reel is built well and not made of cheap materials, the casting and retrieving are super smooth. You could use this reel with or without the bait feeder feature, but if ur bottom fishing this is a great feature to have and use. This is my first bait feeder I owned and I ’ m overall impressed, Okuma makes great products and I will be purchasing another of the same reel.

The reason I am only giving it four stars because of its packing teams, jobs were not well done... keeping the long story short. In general, I am happy with Shimano products and I can guarantee you this reel will last a long long time if you take good care of it. I love Shimano products and I will keep buying them. One thing you need to remember, the products are the same, however, they are good or bad depend on whom you buy them from. Invest your money to the right products and people. Until then, good luck and good fishing. Thanks, Vinh

Left hand wind is a must for me. I am right handed but never figured out why so many people choose to cast with their right hand and then switch hands so they can wind with their right hand. The size and weight are also just right as I mainly fish for striped bass and blue catfish with this reel perfect on a seven foot medium action rod and 15 lb. test mono. I caught a fish on my second cast and anticipate catching many more in the future.

This is one of the best reel I ever own. Great for fresh water fishing, will not let you down in performance or handling with a 7' ft. medium heavy rod.

This is the second Ambassadeur that I have purchased, and I love them both. My only complaint is the shipping company- UPS never deliver my packages to the right house.

I have several larger baitfeeder spinning reels for surf fishing, including a Penn Fierce III 6500 and an Okuma Avenger 8000 series. I was looking for something smaller/lighter but still tough enough for medium duty saltwater. I opted for the Penn Fierce IV 4500 series which I spooled with PowerPro 30lb braid, as opposed to paying almost double for a Spinfisher 4000 series with LiveLiner option. Very satisfied. Have caught blues on bait in the surf and some larger catfish in freshwater so far. Versatile setup.

Penn's Live Liner reels are very well made and basically bulletproof. The action is smooth as silk.

Ball bearing fishing reels offer smoother operation and improved casting distance compared to traditional reels. The ball bearings reduce friction, allowing for quicker retrieves and less effort when reeling in fish. This design also enhances the overall durability of the reel, making it a reliable choice for various fishing conditions.
When selecting a ball bearing fishing reel, consider factors such as the type of fishing you'll be doing, the size of the fish you aim to catch, and your preferred fishing technique. Additionally, look for reels with a higher number of ball bearings for smoother performance and better gear ratios for faster retrieves. It's also important to consider the reel's weight and material for comfort during extended use.
Yes, ball bearing fishing reels can be designed for both freshwater and saltwater fishing, but it's essential to choose a reel specifically rated for the environment you'll be fishing in. Saltwater reels typically feature corrosion-resistant materials and seals to protect against saltwater damage. Always check the specifications to ensure the reel can handle the conditions you plan to fish in.
Ball bearing fishing reels are often made from a combination of materials, including aluminum, graphite, and stainless steel. Aluminum provides strength and durability, while graphite is lightweight and resistant to corrosion. Stainless steel is commonly used for the ball bearings themselves, offering smooth operation and longevity.
Ball bearing fishing reels generally provide smoother performance and better casting capabilities compared to non-ball bearing reels. They are often preferred by anglers who prioritize ease of use and efficiency. However, the choice between ball bearing reels and other types, such as single bearing or no bearing reels, ultimately depends on personal preference and fishing style.
When assessing the durability of a ball bearing fishing reel, consider the materials used in its construction, the quality of the ball bearings, and the overall design. Look for reels with sealed components to protect against dirt and moisture, as well as those made from high-quality metals or composites. Additionally, read reviews and ratings to gauge the long-term performance of the reel in various fishing conditions.
