Lew’s has a new line of KVD series of rods and reels endorsed by Kevin Van Dam. There supposed to be tournament ready; and still affordable for anglers wanting a more durable combo. They also introduced a specialized shallow spool model made for pitching and skipping techniques.
@@lmsmbassaddict7779 What KVD means is he uses what he endorses. The rods and reels he fishes tournaments with are ones he puts to the test. They are made the way he prefers to fish; and had a great deal of input to the design and function of the tackle he puts his name on.
Great video. I have the older model Lew's Speed Spool reel I bought used and a few of the newer models. The newer models are a little smoother than the older ones. They all seem to be workhorses and a great value.
Matt Otis My Lew’s SS LFS reels are like butter too. Both generations. I should have said they are all very smooth but the newest generation is ever so slightly smoother with the pinion gear.
*Update after catching many huge Reds, Flounder & Specs. This Reel is extremely smooth, I haven't oiled it or anything. Just a quick rinse & wipe down. My new LFS does have the sticker stating, "made in Korea" > A great Reel! Just found a like new never used Lews Laser MG for $40. just picked up the Lew's Speed Spool LFS in July 2022, made in Korea. I chose it over the Shimano SLX. (A Saltwater Guide told me at Academy that all his SLX's squeal or make noises & you have to take the side plate off to adjust braking) He's never had an issue with his Lew's reels. I saltwater fish & love how easy it is to tune because I throw many different weight lures on 1 outing & its a super smooth reel!! I love my Abu's but this is my 1st Lew's & I'm very impressed! Holds a lot of PowerPro 20lb braid also.
You must try the lews reels that have the ACB. They are the best casting reels I have ever used. I suggest the lews tournament pro. It has a very light spool and is super smooth. Casts a country mile.
I love the ACB brakes! I like them more than any other that I have used...They are super quite and cast great! I have a tournament mp also that has the dual magnetic/centrifugal brakes and they work fine but they are super loud! Thats why I hate the shimano dc reels, I can't stand loud and annoying brakes!
Teriffic ❤ when the landmark LEW'S was discoed. David Fritts bought 30 of them , I from my lower level as a black bass guy bought 5 . As the reviewer stated in 1976 review "black bass reel that must be fished to be appreciated !!!!!! ❤
I have reels that are more expensive than my LFS Korea model 5.1 and I have it on a Okuma Reflection 7’ med rod and I still enjoy using it for crank bait fishing. I use Shimano reels and love them, I also have Abu Garcia reels love them also and I have more expensive Lews reels love them also.
I know it’s not really relevant anymore since it’s an older video but I just bought a new speed spool from tackle warehouse and it’s made in Korea. Also Debo fishing says his new speed spool lfs is made in Korea as well
IMO the SLX and Tatula CT are better than these reels but they arent horrible. I used a hypermag for a few hours and I love that reel but its $300. I also have a BB1 that I can cast a mile with. The one advantage I see with lews over diawa or shimmano is the customer service. Lews goes out of their way to keep customers happy and have proven that on several occasions with me. Plus lews donates equipment to high school and college fishing teams. I cant wait to see what the 2020 gear can do after icast the stuff should be released
any plans on reviewing the new sixgill cyclone or hamarr? the new magnetic breaking system they introduced seems really interesting and nothing on the market like to it
Hi .The Speed Spool LFS is better choice than shimano slx xt ? I am a beginner which one to choose ? Thank you ! My rod is Berkley Ripple 661+1 M 10/30g, for allround fishing .
The Reel Test, Please review the new 2020 KVD rod and reel or at least the reel. According to the video they released, it has many of the features of the top of the line reel at an affordable price. As mentioned in another comment they have a shallow spool pitching model. I thought of you and if it could be used for BFS fishing. Please review this one also.
I still have my original ss1h that i got back in like 2014 and with regular cleaning and yearly degreasing/regreasing its lasted me almost unscathed. I use it on a 7ft 6 flippin stick for both jigs on bass and small swimbaits and spinnerbaits for pike. Caught my pb pike (20lbs) and pb largemouth (7.3) on the ss1h. Great budget reel to beat on
@@THEREELTEST ok...its very hot here as well...just saying I love ur bible verses at the start of your videos, it's always Important to spread the world of the lord!!
Seeing as its pretty much an engetsu 100 with a better spool I hope its sooner than later. But with the whole virus thing Im sure lots of things will come out slower
I got the Lew's classic baitcaster combo with the crock split handle is so nice everyone likes it is black and gold 🤩 fancy for $39 is worth every penny at full price point. Because I got 8 different combos in 2023 can't find them at Walmart no more this year. So I got the new Lew's XFINITY combo in medium power fast Action spinning reel need the baitcaster combo next.
THE REEL TEST: w/Applied Physics: The Lighter Spool "Should" Let You Throw "Lighter Lewers" with Lighter Line: Farther. So your 2 grams difference is probably too small for those test. I would think that the Light Finese Swim Jigs or Light Finese Swimbaits would be a better target, but it might only show up as a 2-5 ft difference? It would be interesting to see how Light of a Fishing Line would make your spool weight shine?
@@THEREELTEST Loosening or Lightening the mass (weight) should change the scale to see some kind of noticable difference. Either way, they shouldn't be the same though.
I love the scripture at the beginning! I especially love that it’s the KJV! Jesus is God! You got that right! Jesus is able to save because He is God the Son! The demons knew who they were dealing with and they trembled!
In my opinion im not saying its a bad reel but its not the best $99 reel i believe the slx is by far way better now i love lews i have a lot of they're rods as will as spinning combos but ya the lfs is definitely not the best in my opinion
I'm highly disappointed in Lews. I've had the Mach II rod & reel combo for less than a year and the drag system failed. Lost me a huge fish on topwater when the drag kept running as if there was no drag!
@@THEREELTEST I emailed Lews and I am still waiting to hear back. COVID-19 has impacted their response times, according to their generic/automatic reply.
In the New Testament, Jesus claimed to be God. God claimed Jesus as His Son. They are One. By Jesus' own words, He can't be only a prophet or messenger. He is either God or a false prophet. I believe He is God.
I have one-useless for topwater, less than a month old, does not get used at all. If I saved the damn box, I would have returned it. Also casting sucks, a 40buck kastking from amazon is 1000000000000 times better. But I am waiting for shimano scorpion from Japan - got a iced bottle of water to give to the delivery person.
Wtf is with the Jesus quotes at the beginning. Non of us know where we came from keep it all to ourselves man just review fishing reels that’s your lane. Plus it’d make you more popular :)
Bro. (Should say Brother) love your vids and I appreciate the truth at the beginning of each!! God bless!!
I picked up 2 Speed Spools and an Abu Garcia Pro Max for $80.00 from a guy on FB marketplace. All new and in the boxes.

What does tournament ready mean? If you can tell me that Id be very appreciative.
@@lmsmbassaddict7779 it means you can spool it right out of the box and not have to do any "mods" to it. Also very reliable

Would love see you do a review in the dawia coastal sv
Just subscribed today. So far I am pretty impressed with the content. Keep it up, any info is good info.
That's the problem I have with some of the Lews reels. Just a few months after using them they sound a little raspy during reeling.
Great review as always
I just bought this reel and I’m really enjoying it.
is it really smooth and does it have good casting? I am looking in to getting one
Teriffic ❤ when the landmark LEW'S was discoed. David Fritts bought 30 of them , I from my lower level as a black bass guy bought 5 .
As the reviewer stated in 1976 review "black bass reel that must be fished to be appreciated !!!!!! ❤
Appreciate it brother. Much love to you
They say a brand new baitcast reel won’t get max casting distance out of the box. It has a little break-in period.
I have reels that are more expensive than my LFS Korea model 5.1 and I have it on a Okuma Reflection 7’ med rod and I still enjoy using it for crank bait fishing. I use Shimano reels and love them, I also have Abu Garcia reels love them also and I have more expensive Lews reels love them also.
Can't believe I watched the whole video not being a shimano product lol
I know it’s not really relevant anymore since it’s an older video but I just bought a new speed spool from tackle warehouse and it’s made in Korea. Also Debo fishing says his new speed spool lfs is made in Korea as well
Can you see if the new reel can handle a trout magnet and show it on a video. Greatly appreciated if you can.
I'm new to baitcasters and I find it very easy to use the Speed Spool without back lashing. Easier than my Shimano Scorpion DC and Metanium DC.
Huh didn't know they remade it. Might pick one up. I sure like my SLX's though.
LOL... yep, from pictures you cant really tell the old from the new!
IMO the SLX and Tatula CT are better than these reels but they arent horrible. I used a hypermag for a few hours and I love that reel but its $300. I also have a BB1 that I can cast a mile with.

Quantum ACCURIST PT S3 Baitcaster is a great $99.00 reel. Shawn.
Kind of refreshing to see someone actually defend Christianity rather than defend against it.

I have no interest in the KVD model, but the skipping and pitching one I do.
Hey, can you do a video about DC reel maintenance? Thanks.
I mean its like maintaining a normal reel. You dont do anything to "maintain" the DC unit itself
I still have my original ss1h that i got back in like 2014 and with regular cleaning and yearly degreasing/regreasing its lasted me almost unscathed. I use it on a 7ft 6 flippin stick for both jigs on bass and small swimbaits and spinnerbaits for pike. Caught my pb pike (20lbs) and pb largemouth (7.3) on the ss1h. Great budget reel to beat on
Is there any spools I can buy for my slx dc????
Have you hear about the new 2020 Shimano Curado 70 K MGL? The image has leak out
yep, all the new reels on on Shimano USAs website
What’s are your thoughts? And are you gonna get one for review?
could you review the antares 12
You need to do a vid where you show all your reels
LOL that would take an hour
THE REEL TEST our I would like to see you just showcase all of your shimano reels
This is off topic a little bit but could you do a 2020 metanium mgl vs the daiwa steez sv tw casting test?
theres something coming up that will be close enough lol.. if I just need a cooler sunday to happen
@@THEREELTEST ok...its very hot here as well...just saying I love ur bible verses at the start of your videos, it's always Important to spread the world of the lord!!
Love the intro
Excellent video
Don't you know tsulinoya has release new brand bfs model dark wolf 50...i hope you will give review this reel thanks...
Rawr fishing did a couple of videos on it already. I dont plan on getting one
Gotta get the new shimano curado mgl 70
How do you ike kayaking speed demon pro
Any idea when the curado 70 k mgl is coming out
Seeing as its pretty much an engetsu 100 with a better spool I hope its sooner than later. But with the whole virus thing Im sure lots of things will come out slower
What do you suggest do you recommend the scorpion bfs over the curado 70 mgl
Or should I wait for the curado 70 k mgl
Or what do recommend for bfs under $300
Late August. $229.99
