brwnbass Posted July 14, 2011 Report Share Posted July 14, 2011 Ive heard alot of good about them, havnt tried one yet tho. Was out at edgemore tackle the other day & he showed us the new quantum smoke setup. It was the lightest rod & reel i have ever picked up.

Wiseguy909 Posted July 15, 2011 Report Share Posted July 15, 2011 I'm a Revo Man, I've got seven Revo's. I have the several of the Revo S, SX, and 1 Winch. I love my Revo's. I got one of the new Lews Speed spools for my birthday and it seems to be a good reel. It is the 5:4:1 gear ratio. I got it for cranks. It's a keeper, I have been very happy with it for the price.

whj812 Posted July 15, 2011 Report Share Posted July 15, 2011 I heard alot of great things out of the new lews reels. When I need a new reel, this will be the reel I get. Probably before crankin picks up early spring Ill have a new one!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

whj812 Posted February 9, 2012 Report Share Posted February 9, 2012 What are your thoughts on this reel? I havent got to fish with mine yet... got a deal on a Speed Spool in 5.4:1. Its one of the best feeling reels I think I have had in my hands!! I hope it performs as well as my old Lews Laser did that I have used since about 2007!!!

Wiseguy909 Posted February 9, 2012 Report Share Posted February 9, 2012 I got one for my birthday last May. I got the $100 model in 5:4:1. I liked it so much I got one of the $150 in 6:4:1 during the summer. I love them both. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
