One of the best reels I have ever used. It's so smooth, powerful and sensitive. Its allot of handy features on it. No `` birdnest '' and it's really easy to cast with it and it's really far. Very nice reel, high price but worse it. Perfect combination with 11 feet Ugly Stick.

I bought this for my wife to learn how to fly fish. She paired it with a Fenwick flyrod and was fishing in no time. Caught her first bass on her second cast and her second bass on her third cast ever fishing with it! I borrowed it from her and caught a bass and a hybrid bluegill with it as well. Very nice reel!

I bought this reel about 2 months ago and so far, it's done great! I bought this reel for saltwater use and it has held up fine. I 've caught everything from edge of slot puppy drum off the beach to small specks and striper in the sound. I can happily report that thus far, I have had no problems with the unsealed drag. As far as the drag's performance, it could n't work better. the drag knob is easy to adjust while playing a fish and has a nice clicky- ness to it so you do n't over adjust it. I did get a little sand in there while fishing from the beach, but after removing the spool and giving it a thorough rinse it works like new. My few complaints are rather petty. The first being that the finish seems to come off fairly easily. while having it in the canoe with me it was sliding around and the matte black finish rubbed off a bit around the rim. however, it's hardly noticeable and only cosmetic. Secondly, the rubbery handle occasionally catches the fly line when I 'm casting. It juts out a bit more than I care for.

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.

Pken
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 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.

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 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.

I 'm glad I chose this reel as my first Bait caster reel! Easy to learn and it casts tiny jigs during the early spring bite.
5
KYC8
This is my first BFS baitcasting reel, and it lives up to the promises of being able to cast lighter baits further. It certainly works better once dialed in properly, but as a relative novice on casting reels I was able to get near optimal settings within a two attempts and was matching my casting distances compared to a spinning reel. The gear ratio makes for a faster retrieve, and the overall weight is very light when paired with an ultralight rod. I will still keep a spinning reel for when I want to drop a bait to a certain depth since that is easy to measure by counting turns on the reel, but for all other finesse applications I will most likely be using this reel in the future.

This reel is a prime example of when engineering meets functionality. Its extremely lightweight, sleek and has excellent adjustments for precision casting. It also solves the problem of being able to throw light lures a long way so you can put your lures in the strike zone without getting too close and spooking the fish. The reel action and drag are both exceptionally smooth and the ergonomics are fantastic even for those with slightly larger hands. This reel will remain a favorite in my fishing arsenal for foreseeable future.

When selecting a fast retrieve fishing reel, consider the gear ratio, which determines how quickly the line is retrieved. Look for reels with a higher gear ratio for faster line recovery. Additionally, pay attention to the construction materials for durability and weight, as well as the drag system for smooth performance during fights with fish.
Fast retrieve fishing reels are ideal for techniques that require quick line recovery, such as topwater fishing, jigging, or when targeting species that are known for their speed. They are particularly useful in situations where you need to make quick adjustments or retrieve lures rapidly to entice strikes from active fish.
The material of a fast retrieve fishing reel can significantly impact its performance, weight, and durability. Lightweight materials, such as graphite or aluminum, can enhance maneuverability and reduce fatigue during long fishing sessions. Additionally, corrosion-resistant materials are essential for longevity, especially in saltwater environments.
The drag system in a fast retrieve fishing reel is crucial for controlling the tension on the line when a fish is hooked. A smooth and adjustable drag allows anglers to prevent line breakage during intense fights, ensuring that they can effectively manage the fight without losing the catch. Look for reels with a reliable drag system for optimal performance.
