Have love this reel since I got my hands on it last winter. I would even argue it's a good way to teach someone new to bait casting with it. Throw on some #12 IviszX and it's a good bank angling option to learn with.
My skipping reel is an Abu Garcia Sliver Max. I put mono backing on it to shallow up the spool, electrical tape, then tied on 40 yards of 15lb Abrazx. Took me a minute to dial in the brakes but it works like a charm and almost never backlashes. $70. But All my other reels are Lews. I love Lews.
Yeah but that tape is gonna go back after a very short amount of time. Plus, your spool is still moving faster due to the extra weight on it with that line beneath the tape. The shallow spool size of the Pro SP illuminates that potential problem. I see what you’re saying, I just don’t think what you do matches exactly what this reel can
I picked one up a while back based on your recommendation. I absolutely love it for skipping so thanks! I have even heard of people putting light line on it and using it for BFS with good results. Might have to try it out.
Looks like a great reel. I love the idea of a shallower spool and wish it would spread to other baitcasters. So much good line gets unused at the bottom of a deeper spool since it lowers the reel's gear ratio with less line on a spool. It would also be nice not to waste so much line if you want to change it out.
Final update: this little reel is the little engine that could th-cam.com/users/postUgkxSlytCJqozTF7EbdP4LWP-HUXf9WRDJ0e . It performed flawlessly and was easy to adjust drag in the moment while I was battling a 35lb bat ray behemoth. Mind you, this reel is spooled with only 25 lb braid and 25 mono topshot. It's paired with the kastking telescopic heavy power rod and the two work well together. This has now earned my respect and confidence when traveling and fishing. If you have ever hooked into large rays and sharks, you know they pull extremely hard and can run forever! This thing clamped down on the fish and was easy to adjust during the fight. It has a nice decently fast retrieve as well. Twice the fish went on mad runs and I was able to gain back line quickly to avoid spooling.
Tyler, whatever Lewis is paying you isn’t enough. Every bass angler I know has bought this reel after viewing your video (including me). Can’t wait to get on the water with it.. One question though….which Lews rod do you recommend pairing it with? Thanks!
Awesome! I appreciate the kind words! It all depends what technique in specific you are going to be doing with it. Shoot me a message on FB, Instagram, or email and I’ll help you pick a rod
Like you always say, to make us better and more efficient bass anglers!! That reel is the definition of efficient!! Can you punch with that reel, I'm guessing you can. I think you should do a gear review on either the Alabama rig, and show footage of your 14 pounder fight! Or for those anglers out there who use spinning reels, maybe do a gear review on the best spinning reel. That i think would be a great video!!!
@@TylersReelFishing Yah you definitely want a super tough reel for that job!! Thanks Tyler for replying!! One thing I'm curious about is does the weather affect the rods and reels you use? Like if its raining, do you use a different rod than you would when its windy? If so, lemme know! Thanks!!
I get it and appreciate it but it seems with modern technology, backlash on a bait caster would be a thing of the past. At least with less dial options. I use bait cast for the record. Spin cast is so much more user-friendly.
I havent been fishing for like 5 months im excited for warm weather to come here in ohio. my parents get so mad at me for talking about bass fishing haha
Hadn’t seen this one T!! I can skip but I have to tighten down the magnet bc I backlash when skipping if I don’t. You know I’m buying one today!!! I love my Lew’s custom lite you recommended, which I put w a Megabass Levante Jerkbait special. It’s the only rod I use for jerkbaits!!
Tyler, would this reel also be a good frog fishing reel in lily pads like you talked about in your frog fishing video? I wanted a set up just for frog fishing, 60-65 braid, 7'3 or 4 rod but I also would like to learn how to skip under docks. I do not have the budget for too many reels. I realize I could not cast it far but I have a kayak and can get semi close to the pads. What do you think?
@TylersReelFishing thanks for the reply was gonna get their bfs reel but its a little pricy i think im going with this reel for the versatility plus it on sale right now at bass pro, btw love the videos. Learned alot from you. Keep it up 👍
@@TylersReelFishing I didn’t say that either lol I was just tossing an opinion out to other anglers! I can’t afford fancy reels like that so I like suggesting good ones that are good all around reels! I wouldn’t ever buy this reel for one I can’t afford it and for two it’s really only good for a couple things Love the videos tho dude keep bustin on em
I have! th-cam.com/video/r4esGgPPhxI/w-d-xo.html Whenever you have a fishing question or technique you want to learn, search “TylersReelFishing ____” and in that blank, but the topic you are curious about. Odds are, ive already made a video about it👍🏼
check out the Lews page and click on the Signature Series. Under Andy's section you will see the two he recommends for skipping with this reel. One for a shorter angler, another for a taller.
Or maybe he’s trying to use this reel for throwing a spinner bait around bushes, or a light wacky rig around stumps. Gotta know what rob is fishing to recommend the best rod
I get the concept and I bet it's a great reel but If I wanted my reel to only cast 40 yrds I'd just put a piece of tape to keep it from casting more line than I need. Practice makes perfect and if you want to be good at skipping, you definitely can. Great ad Tyler I still like your videos.
Trust me, that tape deal doesn’t solve the fact that those reels are meant to cast far, not meant to cast short. This reel is meant for that, and no, it’s not an ad. I legit love this reel for what it’s DESIGNED for
I have a lews mach crush medium 7' spinning setup, abu garcia revo ike spinning combo medium heavy 7' 6", and a Johnny Morris 2000 signature series on a pro qualifier 7' medium. I was thinking about maybe getting a different rod ( a medium light ) for my lews so this was my combos can be completed on the spinning side of things, but now I wanna get into baitcasters and all I have is a lews xfinity and don't know what pole to get for a first timer.
@@bryceparish3294 if your fishing from shore I would go with the shorter of the two. But I think they have a 7’ option that would be an even better choice. If fishing from a boat I would go with the 7’ 3” I prefer a longer rod but that’s just me
Reel test guy(I don't remember his name, but his site is awesome) says bfs spools should be 9 or less grams, I'm looking forward to trying bfs. I loathe spin cast so much that I finesse fish a regular baitcaster. Lighter line and all. Though I'll share a true story. The cheapest rig I use, out of 9 I bring, is an Abu black max. I've caught most of my fish on it. In fact, I caught my #2&3, on it. I hope and pray Lew's remembers where they were when they HAD to partner with Shimano, to get into the reel business. I love the folks Lew's supports. Both private and public, it does break my heart that I have to recommend others.
Love Lews! But the KVD rod Kevin was using is crap in my opinion. A bought one a few months ago and gave it to a friend after about a month or so of use. It was uncomfortable, front heavy, didn’t like uni knots, and had burs in the eyes that shredded my braided line in the guides in pretty sure
Hmm that’s interesting, cause I love mine. I do agree that a few of them are tip heavy, but not all of them in my experience. I caught hundreds of fish on one last year with no issues
@@TylersReelFishing yes it does. there is also a video on it made by THE REEL TEST where he puts it to the test with some ultra light lures. Thank for your great content!

I know you are sponsored, cool! However, Lew's lost me in this way, my mach crush feels cheap in hand. I feel like the frames flex under load. Now that's a 200$ combo with the reel having an msrp north of 160$! If you told me it was a 100$ reel I could buy that(I would put my 80$ Abu max4 pro against my mach and I haven't ever taken a cast, yet). My son bought me the 99$ lews for my birthday and it feels better than the mach. Still not impressed with lews yet because the finish is rubbing off. It looks like I've owned it for 5 years but it has been only 8 months. Furthermore my roommate has a mach 2 and he feels the same. Ironically, the first lews I bought was a mach 1, it was broken right from the beginning. First cast! I brought it back to DICKS SPORTING with a little extra cash and a good team at DICKS in Plymouth ma. I thought I upgraded, boy was I wrong. I still have all the aforementioned gear but I find I'm using my 100$ combo's by favorite and 13 fishing more. In short I guess I fell victim to my TH-cam dudes and a great marketing strategy. Fool me 3 times, huh, shame on me. I will be telling this story for a long time. I will never recommend Lew's instead I would point people to Abu. I have the cheapest stuff Abu makes and it brings me more joy than any other manufacturer and lews has been the most disappointing in my 40 years of fishing. Love your content. Keep up the great. God bless.
I’m sorry you have had that experience. The Mach lineup is the cheapest lineup for sure, and some of them are priced too high in my opinion. This reel though, feels nothing like your Mach, I can promise you that. Give it a try
I gotta say I don’t believe in reels anymore.. my co worker uses 35$ combo setups and kills them!! I’m using 13 setups revos.. he says it’s all about the bait and presentation
Neither one has a reel designed exactly for what this is. Diawa’s is close, but is bigger profile for punching and flipping specifically, now low profile skipping and casting
WOW! Haha they didn't even ask me to make this. I just love skipping (if you watched my channel you'd know that), and I genuinely think this is the best reel I've ever used for that technique
I can see how’d you’d be upset, if you didn’t know my character, which you don’t I can sense. I don’t do product reviews, EVER. I only do them with products that truly make a difference in my fishing, which this one does. The fact that I also work with Lew’s, and have for 6 years, is totally irrelevant
@@TylersReelFishing doesn’t matter ole boy, you work for the company, so state it up front. And that reel might be great, not saying it isn’t, I am saying you should state up front who you work for.
I have worked for Lew’s for 6 years. Everyone that’s been around my for any amount of time knows that. I don’t have to disclose all my life information in every video
@@TylersReelFishing whatever you say, clickbait to greatness and just so you know: congrats on that giant bass. You’re better than this Lew’s plug, regardless of the greatness* of this reel. *your words
Have love this reel since I got my hands on it last winter. I would even argue it's a good way to teach someone new to bait casting with it. Throw on some #12 IviszX and it's a good bank angling option to learn with.
True! I hadn't even thought about that. Any backlashes newbies get wont be as frustrating

I’m gonna have to try it too
I've always said that the problem with people today is they JUST DON'T SKIP ENOUGH!! Great video, Tyler!!!!!
Got this reel for Christmas and just barely spooled some line into it. Can’t wait to put it to work
I recently got a Lews Pro LFS to try out. Haven't thrown it yet, but it looks like I'm gonna like it.
I’m a shimano guy but love the lews pro lfs I have. I throw it a ton
I see you've paired that with the KVD rod. Just bought the KVD jerkbait rod and KVD reel, and it's really helped with my jerkbait fishing.
His reel really is fantastic for the price
Looks like a great reel. I love the idea of a shallower spool and wish it would spread to other baitcasters. So much good line gets unused at the bottom of a deeper spool since it lowers the reel's gear ratio with less line on a spool. It would also be nice not to waste so much line if you want to change it out.
Exactly! If you follow this method though, you won’t waste AS MUCH: th-cam.com/video/r4esGgPPhxI/w-d-xo.html

It has a nice decently fast retrieve as well. Twice the fish went on mad runs and I was able to gain back line quickly to avoid spooling.
Love Lew's. Only started using them a couple years ago after my local salvage store bought out the inventory of a Cabelas.
Awesome!

Great job with a great reel . You did Lews a great job in your review!!!!!
I agree! That footage in the beginning was amazing!
I bought one, didn’t think it was much better at skipping, so picked up another Tourney Pro LFS 😂

Now where exactly did you find snow in Texas?
It was here for ONE day, so I took advantage of it and got some sick shots haha
I own all the high end shimanos. But I miss my lews Mach 2 I started with a few years ago. Fun times. May try this one
Mach 2 is my favorite Baitcaster reel.
This one will run laps around your mach one
I get it and appreciate it but it seems with modern technology, backlash on a bait caster would be a thing of the past. At least with less dial options. I use bait cast for the record. Spin cast is so much more user-friendly.
My fav fav fav flippin 1/2 oz under bait caster I own for few ..a lot of my 1/4th and up flippin it’s amazing and skips amazing .
Love the content Tyler. Would love to try one of those reels one day!
I use mine for bfs for crappie and it is very good at it
Line and rod for bfs? Thanks
Thanks
Great review.
Do you still use this reel for pitching and skipping 2 years later ?
That looks like an awesome reel. What would be a good skipping rod to pair it with
Dm me on Facebook or Instagram and I’ll help ya pick one out!
I havent been fishing for like 5 months im excited for warm weather to come here in ohio. my parents get so mad at me for talking about bass fishing haha
love all of my lews, I have too many but that is another video!!!
Great video Tyler! One question tho, does this reel work with braid for very heavy cover situations? Love your content!!
Yes, just short of punching
@@TylersReelFishing why not for punching? Reasons?
I’d want even stronger gears for the longevity of my reel, when punching. The super duty is better for punching imo
I love this reel!!!

My DCs skip and cast really really far. I have to check this one out so I can see what it’s all about
It’s a really cool reel, I love it
Tyler that reel looks awesome it’s fancy…but it also has a fancy price tag I would love to get it but I can’t afford it
You can afford anything if you work hard enough. Not downplaying your current financial situation, but if you live in America, anything is possible
@@TylersReelFishing yeah thanks for the encouragement I’ll do my best
What rod were you using for flipping? Looking for a new jig rod and I have this reel that I just picked up. Great content btw!
I love KVD’s 7’4” H

Thanks, first I heard of this reel. Can you spool 🧵 this reel with braid? I can see how braid would last longer and be cheaper to use on such a reel.
Yes you can!

Even though this real is a bit pricey, I caught probably 200-300 frog fish on it over two years
Is this reel also good for just using as a bfs reel for light lures (1/16th, 1/8th, 3/16OZ) doing normal casts?
It absolutely can, but Lew’s released a better version for BFS: bit.ly/3PGv1rD

Just got my 1st baitcaster and 20lb braid you got any tips on learning it
Don’t throw 20lb braid on it. Easily backlashable. Go with 40 at a minimum, or use Fluoro. Search “TylersReelFishing baitcaster” for tons of videos 👍🏼
Looks like a shallow spool from the b roll
I wish I had it 💯
Awesome reel. What rod do you recommend?
All depends on what technique you’re doing with it. Shoot me a message on Instagram or Facebook and I’ll help ya 👍🏼
What is the action and strength in that KVD Tyler?
What rod is that and I just got a Dobyns fury flippin and pitch rod to put it on
Is a 7'4 heavy action rod too much rid for a bank angler?
No, not for big stuff
I'm a shamano or daiwa guy. I may give this reel a try
It’s really really cool
Curado or SLX DC on the skipping setting. Additionally, you can use the same DC reel for other applications.
No skipping setting on DC reels - not sure what you are talking about.
Hey Tyler can you do a video of spooling reels and the pro sp I would love to know how to spool it and other reels

Would you use this reel for punching or would you go with the super duty
Super duty
In your opinion what is the price do you get the best bang for the buck on rods and reels
$140
Do you still spool it up with a little mono backing or since its so shallow of a spool do you just go straight main line?
Nope. Straight line
Custom Pro is the best reel ever IMO
Awesome! What length/action rod would you recommend.
For what technique?
check out the Lews page and click on the Signature Series. Under Andy's section you will see the two he recommends for skipping with this reel. One for a shorter angler, another for a taller.
Or maybe he’s trying to use this reel for throwing a spinner bait around bushes, or a light wacky rig around stumps. Gotta know what rob is fishing to recommend the best rod
good call
yo tyler do you reccomend a drop shot or a ned rig on a 6’10 medium light extra fast rod
Drop shot
Also, would it work with punching or would you stick with a lews superduty?
It would definitely work, but for something that thick, i’d probably want a little bit stronger gears for the longevity of my reel
I get the concept and I bet it's a great reel but If I wanted my reel to only cast 40 yrds I'd just put a piece of tape to keep it from casting more line than I need.
Practice makes perfect and if you want to be good at skipping, you definitely can.

i was trying to find a rod to buy and i was wondering what is the difference between a rod for ned rigs and a rod for drop shots?
You can definitely use the same rod for both, but I prefer a medium for Ned rigs, and a medium light for drop shots
What’s the spool weight? Wonder if it could be a finesse casting reel on a light rod
32mm spool. Not sure on the weight
Reel test guy(I don't remember his name, but his site is awesome) says bfs spools should be 9 or less grams, I'm looking forward to trying bfs. I loathe spin cast so much that I finesse fish a regular baitcaster. Lighter line and all.
Though I'll share a true story. The cheapest rig I use, out of 9 I bring, is an Abu black max. I've caught most of my fish on it. In fact, I caught my #2&3, on it.

It’s not bad for Bsf either.

Cause they don’t do the same thing. One lessens backlashes on all lures, one is specifically designed for efficient target casting

Hilarious, at least state at the beginning of this video that it's a paid sponsorship. Clickbait ass youtubing at it's finest. GFYM.
I can see how’d you’d be upset, if you didn’t know my character, which you don’t I can sense. I don’t do product reviews, EVER. I only do them with products that truly make a difference in my fishing, which this one does. The fact that I also work with Lew’s, and have for 6 years, is totally irrelevant
@@TylersReelFishing doesn’t matter ole boy, you work for the company, so state it up front. And that reel might be great, not saying it isn’t, I am saying you should state up front who you work for.
I have worked for Lew’s for 6 years. Everyone that’s been around my for any amount of time knows that. I don’t have to disclose all my life information in every video
@@TylersReelFishing whatever you say, clickbait to greatness and just so you know: congrats on that giant bass. You’re better than this Lew’s plug, regardless of the greatness* of this reel.
*your words
Thanks for the nice backhand compliment. Better than a forehand 😂
I gotta get one
Do it!
@@TylersReelFishing my wal mart here in Lenoir NC doesn't have this reel
yeah TAPE GUYS TAPE
cast super super super far as far as you can and put that damn electrical tape and boom won’t backlash past the tape
