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.

Are Lew's reels that good for the $ ? 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?

A shimano Chronarch 200e or curado 200e will make u convert I can't see how anyone would use a Revo over one I got 2 sx gen 3 and a MGX and they still couldn't compete with shimano

I heard that the new Shimanos are kinda crappy because they moved factories over to Malaysia, I just don't know if its true.

It probably takes less than $100 to make some of the reels that retail for $300. 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.

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 will take Lews over Abu any day. I bought the tournament series and they are fantastic!
