I just picked one up for a little of nothing (only reason I bought it) I only buy daiwa after at some point owning them all. I'm not impressed, it's going on a jig pole.
Sent from my Z983 using Crappie.com Fishing mobile app
mine fell apart.
I had one and the reel was smooth and had a good drag. But the anti reverse would only catch about half the time. I would set the hook and the reel would start unwinding. Cleaned it and oiled it and still had that problem. So it went in the trash.
I probably own 8 or so Lews Reels. The majority being baitcasters, but I do own 2 Lews 2 spinners. One is a very small 50 series Laser Lite I use on a 5 foot rod. I don't shoot, but its holding up just fine. The other is a Mach II that is my loaner rod for friends and family, but is used for mainly Bass fishing. It feels like a great reel, but doesn't get used much. I also have a small Pflueger 20 series President that I use solely for crappie jigs and for $50, I don't think you can beat a President.
I'm hearing that some reels are "falling apart"? What's that all about? What is falling apart? I've owned a ton of various kinds of reels over many decades. From real "cheapos" to some truly quality reels. Never had any one of them just fall apart. I'm really curious now what this kind of failure looks like.
Its been years since I had a lews spinning reel. Mine fell apart with almost no use at all. As I recollect the screw came out the bail the bail fell off. The third time I used it. Never knew what happened to the screw. It wasn't worth filing a complaint to the company. I just trashed it.Quote:

Bought two a couple of months ago.......junked them ,bail spring sucks, handle was sloppy anti reverse works half the time, go to cast and bail would snap shut. Their bait casters are great.
