Don't think I will be spending the money. Spent $350 on a MGX and did not like it so I sold it and bought 2 Lews.

I've been using a Revo SX for a while, been wanting to try a Lews but I'm kinda scared to haha. Do you think that a speed spool would make me convert?

That's pretty much anything nowadays though I guess.

All it takes is one cast with a lews and that is all you will ever use again.

All it takes is one cast with a lews and that is all you will ever use again. Even with the $99 speed spool? Lews reels cast great and feel very nice I owned two BB1s. But quality is not there compared to Shimano. Call up Shawn Smith or some of the other reel repair guys and he will tell u high end shimanos the ones make in Japan are bar none. The g series are garbage they are made else where and quality is down. The 200e Chronarch is a 200e curado with new paint Chronarch runs 200$ retail new and u can typically pick up 200e curado's new to used for 100-150$ I have a couple that I have never cleaned over 3 years and still feel and perform better than the Abu's. but a reel is just another tool get what u like after trying them out I have used Lews,Abu gen 1-3 Revo all models, and Dawia the only reels close to Shimano are Dawia but typically seem higher priced.

I bought the tournament series and they are fantastic!
