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.

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.

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

Master Baiter
I got this combo three weeks ago and loved it from day one. Bait casters can be tricky and each can have a learning curve all its own. That said, the rod has great action and the real is very smooth and accurate.... then I hooked a personal best large mouth at 9lbs witch should be within its spec but the rod snapped 23 ” from the tip. I wasn ’ t over extended or pushing the limits. The line held and I painfully hand lined it in. If I had to do it again, I wouldn ’ t change a thing! I WILL perches this combo again.
5

Exceptional combo for your average fisherman. Not too expensive, but not a cheapie either. It has an easy learning curve for those of us who are new to baitcasters and is solid enough for more experienced anglers to throw around at will.

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.

I have been very familiar with their fishing products since purchasing my first tackle bag from them about five years ago. They have yet to dissapoint. I have owned the standard MegaJaws reel and this one well surpasses it.
5
JJOmazing
I just ordered this reel last week and wanted to provide a detailed review of my recent purchase. Just as another reviewer shared, it is advertised as black, but my reel was a vibrant red. I spooled it with a 10lb braid and cast it with soft plastics with a 1oz weight. I set the tension so the lure just barely dropped from the end of the rod, then set the drag to 5/10. There are micro- adjust settings between the typical settings, meaning 0. 5 increments are possible. Once casting, wow, this thing can really send the bait pretty far. I would estimate I was regularly getting 35- 40yard casts on a relatively lightweight lure. Plus I was able to drop it the lure exactly where I wanted it to go. The reel is pretty typical size in the hand when palming. I would say its not the biggest or smallest, but it was comfortable to use. There is another switch on the back of the reel that changes the reel function to allow for flipping and pitching. I 've never seen this before on a reel and typically just used my thumb on the spool. When this is activated, you press the button holding it during the flip and let- go when you want the line to stop advancing. It took a few tries to get used to, but is still very intuitive to use. If you forget to switch it back when going back to do a normal long cast, it can be a surprise. However, I think it is a nice feature. I was able to catch some bass as a local pond with it and the drag was very smooth. There are a lot of bearings on this reel, box says 11+1, and it feels like it. I have multiple bait- casters, including some other higher end models, and this MegaJaws Elite reel fits right along side the others.

I have been using Duckett Rods for about 18 months now. I have 22 Mirco Magic Pros and 4 Ghosts and could not be more satisfied with a rod. Super lightweight, strong, sensitive, and has great aesthetic appeal. I 've trusted these rods over the past 18 months to win thousands of dollars on the Bassmaster Opens trail. For whatever technique you 're fishing, Duckett makes a rod for you!

I read some reviews on Duckett's line of casting& spinning rods and decided to give the Micro Magic casting rod a try, primarily because of the great sale price at Dick's. In a word, it's OK. Alot of complaints about the eyes not holding up but I have n't had any issues yet. It's rated a little soft and found the medium closer to a med light, so I returned it and got a med heavy 7'... much better. Have n't used it that long, but so far so good. Worth the sale price for sure.

The first thing I noticed about this reel was it's compact size and comfort in hand. It's more palmable than my Curado MGL 151. The drag is smooth and it casts well.

Great rod and reel. Lew ’s knocked it out the park with this one the quality feel between the overall balance and the smoothness of the reel it certainly doesn ’ t fish like a “ 100 ” dollar combo. I ’ ve been fishing over 30 years now and throwing a bait caster since I was a teenager and I ’ ll tell you this thing is killer all jokes aside. The rod on the American hero surpasses the rod on The mach II I have both of these combos, but Ive had to glue the rods tip eye back on twice now with the Mach II it Pulled itself out of the tip of the rod, just by setting the hook on a Small bass, Didn ’ t notice until it felt different when I would cast and the Mach II costs a 100$ ’s more… The two rods are designed completely different in the way the tip is attached The American hero rod being far superior in quality. I wish Lews would Address this matter, it is cheaply done on the Mach II and a bummer. But anyway, if you are on the fence about purchasing the American hero combo jump on off and do it you ’ ll be stoked, my friend Fish on and keep your line tight

When selecting a smooth casting baitcaster, consider features such as gear ratio, drag system, and bearing count. A higher bearing count typically leads to smoother operation, while an appropriate gear ratio can enhance your casting distance and control. Additionally, look for a reliable braking system to help manage line control and prevent backlash.
Smooth casting baitcasters are often made from materials like aluminum, graphite, and composite blends. Aluminum provides durability and strength, while graphite is lightweight and can enhance sensitivity. The choice of materials can affect the overall weight, balance, and performance of the reel.
Smooth casting baitcasters are versatile and can be used for various fishing styles, including freshwater and saltwater fishing. They are particularly effective for techniques that require precision, such as flipping, pitching, and casting lures. Their design allows for greater control and accuracy, making them ideal for targeting specific species.
The size of a smooth casting baitcaster can significantly impact its performance and usability. Smaller reels are typically lighter and easier to handle, making them suitable for finesse techniques, while larger reels can hold more line and handle heavier lures or fish. It's important to choose a size that matches your fishing style and target species.
The drag system is a crucial component of a smooth casting baitcaster, as it controls the amount of resistance a fish feels when pulling on the line. Look for a smooth and consistent drag that can handle the weight of the fish you are targeting. Additionally, consider the maximum drag capacity and how easily it can be adjusted during a fight.
Maintaining a smooth casting baitcaster involves regular cleaning and lubrication to ensure optimal performance. After each use, it's advisable to wipe down the exterior and check for any debris in the reel. Periodic lubrication of the gears and bearings can help maintain smooth operation and prolong the life of the reel.
