I like both damn good reels if you ask me wherever they are made. I put the inshore on the c-rig, and the lews on a jig

Both are decent reels though. While true they are very similar there are slight differences you will see if you take them apart. And the tolerances might be different too. I have alot of both, the lews definitely perform better. I have 7-8 tourney pro's A new team pro An mg I also have 2 sx 1 premier 2 new stx 2 new whinch. While the abu's are good reels , they are not as good as my lews in my opinion. I had to put bocas in my new whinch to make it perform comparable to my 5.4 t pro's. I'm done wasting money on the Abu reels, at least for this generation of reels. I've always been an Abu fan, and I do like my revo's. They just aren't as good as my lews in my opinion.

Well lews vs quantum lews FTW! I have been a quantum fan for a long but the better reel wins. I love the revo. Lews make the smoothest reels. I like the inshore cuz the drag is 21 lbs. its super smooth, and I got it on a villain rod and I only paid 80 buck for both. But lews are great reels.

Same here, I started buying Lew's reels last year. I've got a couple of el cheapo speed spools, a tournament MG and a couple of Tournament pro's. On the Revo side I think I've got 5-6 SX's and 2 Premiers. The Tournament pro blows the Premier out of the water and with searching you can pick them up for around 150 NIB. Everything I buy from now on will be Lew's. Revo's are great reels but the Lew's is slightly smaller in my palm and ignorantly smooth. I just prefer it now that I've had a while to get used to them.
