We have tried the Speed Spool LFS reels for lighter lures and have really enjoyed them. I rewarded myself by getting a Speed Spool Team Lite. It only weighs 5.6 ounces. I used it today for the 1st time but unfortunately I only caught one LNB.
Lews seems to be putting a good product out there.

What grout said.. I have 4 Team Pro magnesium. They are great reels and I would put them just below a Diawa Steez or Shimano Matanium. The quality is great. I do however buy them during TWs 15% or 20% Black Friday sales.

I have 6 of the pro series speed spool. bought them for the extra line capacity. list price was too high but bought on sale for about 50%. For that, they are a great value. Well designed, very smooth, easy casting adjustments.

That's the one thing I can't make myself try. I can't give up the pflueger presidents for spinning reels

From a performance standpoint my Lews are about the same as any other reel I have. Looking at it from your perspective I would not hesitate to sell them. They have a following just like the Dobyns rods so I think they will sell for you. Honestly I dont think there is a big difference between the major brands of rods and reels today but if there is a following for a brand you ride it as long as it lasts as a retailer.

Had a buddy that set up account with Lews thru a dist. and was selling on E bay but there was a bunch selling them on E Bay so cheap that it wasn't worth the effort.

In the Lews line up I like the Super Duty, the BB1 and the BB1 pro the best. Mine are a couple of years old now so I haven't tested out any of the newer Lews reels, not anything new that has come out within the past 3 years.
Lews and Daiwa reels are my favorites but I also have Shimano, Garcia Revo, and 13 Fishing concept reels.
