This is NOT the BB1PRO, just speed spool you ordered, big difference in feel, this is it.

There were some TFO rods in the ads here a few days ago do a search, even the tactical for $99, you will not be disappointed I promise.

It's not the BB1 Pro. It's still a good reel. But another $9 would have gotten you a Pro and a better reel.

man i throw a lews bb1 and absolutely love it, within 3-4 casts i already had it tuned. Love the smoothness of the reel and its got plenty of drag for the bigger fish, i used mine and caught everything from largemouth to redfish and trout. I have it on a St. Croix avid medium heavy and it works with everything from top water to cranking to jigs. Cant go wrong with lews or st. croix, pay the little extra and get the good stuff.

I managed to order the correct one and got the wrong one canceled cause they had not shipped yet so they just voided the order . Lesson learned just hard to keep the different BB1s' seperated .

Thank you ! Glad i reordered the correct one too . Can't wait to get it on water but it may be next month or so before i go but i'll be ready . I got the 6.4:1 ratio . I thought about the 7.1:1 but i have an Abu Garcia with that ratio and wanted one slightly different so went with the 6.4:1 . Hope i like it as well ! We have a Hunting and Fishing Expo event at the local coliseum this weekend . Going to see if they have any TFO rods in stock .

Ordered a BB1Pro recently as well. Very impressed. It's really smooth and no issues casting at all, even into the wind. I'd say it's as good if not better than the Revos I have in the same price range.
