Lol love the tech hat. My mom grew up in Lubbock and went to MED school at tech. I went to the Omaha World Series when they played against tcu and I went to march madness championship last year when they made the championship run

[@masonfranks2733]

That's coool knowing I've been on the same lake as you MANY of times catching biggins. I have the mach 2 my experience with it has been amazing it's my main combo and i recommend it for anybody starting off!

[@skylerbrycesmith]

I have both along with the Smash and Mach 1. Overall they are all good. Lew’s makes great stuff for the money.

[@RhinoVenturesOutdoors]

Thanks for the reviews, Lou. Sometimes I find myself wishing my current gear would break, so I can buy some of this new stuff!

[@JamieAndKarenShow]

Go get some anyways quit buying shimano if you want stuff to break 😂

[@Slking507]

I just pull a Bill Dance when it gets that bad. Tailgate works wonders.

[@noaheoutdoors]

Bought the Mach II a couple days ago and it’s my first bait caster and I’m liking it, I’m still getting used to it and have not a clue what to do but I’ve don’t good

[@jonboysprowash7845]

Just got the Mach Crush for Fathers Day. It is one of the smoothest reels I have ever used and the whole combo felt great. Orange and black are my favorite colors. Looks great and works great.

[@Outdoor_Jack]

I absolutely love my Mach 2 it’s smooth ( it casts a mile) it does well on big fish and just looks sick! I have it in 7.5.1 gear ratio and it’s just amazing! It’s a seriously good jig and Texas rig rod witch is what I throw 80% of the time

[@fred9044]

I have the mach crush Slp and Absolutely love it still tuning it getting used to it had it 2 weeks now fished it 3 times and have say the best rod reel combo ive ever had and im glad say im proud owner if u thinking about buying one think no more GO BUY IT NOW i never liked lews but boy have they changed my mind!!!

[@chrisskbull]

I would like any Lew's rod. There crazy expensive in Canada, and hard to find lol

[@Tom13GN]

Nice job! I actually have 9 of the Mach-II rods to include a spinning version. I don't have any of the Mach-II reels, but I do use Lews reels also. I have everything from the topwater to the flipping stick to the casting and worm/jig rods...I love them AND they match my Black/Green FALCON.

[@Internetpilot]

I own both of these -- actually two of the Mach 2 combos (one's in Florida, one's in Virginia) and one of the Mach Crush combos. The Mach Crush is the better combo, but the Mach 2 really is a close second. Even though I'm right handed, I bought the left handed version of both because I'm used to using spinning gear and it's just allows more efficient recasting intervals. Also, on Amazon the left handed Mach Crush was on sale new for $145 (cheaper than even the Mach 2) while the right handed one was $200, so even if I didn't like left handed baitcasters, at that price I probably would've learned. FYI, for me the discoloration of the grips cleans off with bleach wipes or even hand sanitizer wipes. Dick's has an exclusive color Mach Crush that has more orange on the rod. Great review -- thanks for the extra information that only a Lew's pro would know.

[@petejansen8098]

Own the 2 and love it. Need another combo and looking at crush and smash. Mostly pond shore fishing. Maybe some float tube.

[@trevperkins3680]

Should I put fluoro or mono on my Mach crush

[@BeyondTheBoundsOutdoors]

Either work...depends on what you are fishin and why you would need mono

[@minnesotabasshound429]

Not sure if you have done one yet but I own both combo's and the crush spinning combo. A great video would be on maintenance ect for the reels. Thanks for the great videos you create

[@guysallis4235]

I bought a Mach Crush reel and put it on a Dobbins or seven foot eight flipping Rod to use for casting hollow body frogs after a half a day on the water my forearm felt like it was about to explode so I went and bought the Mach Crush combo with the heavy action rod spoiled it up with 65 lb braid wound up using it all summer long that is my go-to hollow-body frog rod I have landed countless 2 and 3 lb Bass on this rod and reel combo and plan to use it all of Summer of 2019 that Rod has enough power that you never feel like you can't handle getting the job done yet it doesn't kill you using it through the day and I fish hard all day long

[@BeyondTheBoundsOutdoors]

Good review! And feedback

[@packinaglock]

Personally I really like the Lews big knob handles.

I'm really fortunate I'm able to go to the Lew's Sportsman Warehouse in Springfield Missouri every week I'm there a lot and talk to the guys about the products I have the Crush just bought the bb1 pro series those were half off I also have several other Lew's rods and reels but great job on your video talking about the rods and reels preciate it

[@jacobscjofield40]

Bought a crush reel yesterday there for 75 and a mach 2 rod for 40

Man thats nice yall have access to do that!

[@andyarchdale3809]

Im lucky i live close too. They have replaced my crush twice now. And number 3 still chews up the line. Everyone i get frays out a $20 spool of flouro. You can just hear the line grinding on the guides almost.

[@marcanzlovar72]

Hey Lou, love the review and your shows (new subscriber) I own the Mach II both casting and spinning. I’m new to fishing , except as a kid and catch great CO bass on both combos. Minimal to zero backlash on the caster and even used the spinning for top water poppers and spooks! It performed great! Now wish winter would get over with

[@BeyondTheBoundsOutdoors]

Awesome man i am glad to have you here!

[@luke8646]

Lews Mach Crush was $50 off at Cabelas about a month ago. Only had left handed so went to Sportsman's Warehouse, they beat the sale price by an additional 5%. Can't beat that.

[@FishinwithGRAMPS]

Ah, just realized this is the Mach II vs the Crush. Guessing he wasn't expecting Lew's to release a Mach 2 in 2020 that is also Black/Green. Damn Lew's makes some great combos for us.

[@PalmMan77]

Dick's has clearance out the Mach 2 Baitcast Combo and has them on sale for $99.00. Just picked one up today. Can't wait to set it up!

[@patf03]

Yea that's a crazy good deal ...some other guy like 2 weeks ago said he got it around Father's Day on sale for like 70 something

[@totalannihilation9065]

I got the Mach II SLP baitcasting combo to replace my very first Penn Silverado Baitcaster Rod that I bought used when I wanted to try Bass fishing. I spooled it and wanted to try it out. Very first cast the lure got caught on a damn weed and got the worst birds nest. I was pissed and tossed it on the ground. Finally I cooled down and grabbed it to get the bird nests all untangled, Texas rigged a june bug and catched a decent Bass on the second cast. Actually catched 3 nice Bass on the first trip to the local lake. I'm pretty happy with it so far. I was using a Black Max but for some reason it didn't cast far enough. This Mach II casts like a dream and barely got any birds nesting if at all. Seems like lew's know what they're doing.

[@robertwhaley8069]

I found the mach2 at Cabela's on clearance for 75$ best combo iv ever owned! I'm running it with 15lb spiderwire stealth braid it runs so perfect I highly recommend it

[@BeyondTheBoundsOutdoors]

Holy crap thats an incredible deal!!!!

[@robertwhaley8069]

Make the jump! It will take practice and a lot of patience , you will have bird nests but after a little while it will pay off ! Start with heavy lures it's easier to cast let me know how it goes!

[@robertwhaley8069]

That's great glad to hear! What fish do you normally target?

[@robertwhaley8069]

@Lenny23 _ hey that's great! Post a picture of your catch!

[@pitching7577]

Would you say that these reels are comparable or not as good as the Lew’s Tournament Classic Laser Reels? The ones I’m referring to are White with Orange Trim and then also the Burnt Orange with Black Trim. Just asking for comparisons on Reels only. Thanks and thanks for the video!!!

[@panhandleoutdoors630]

I got the Mach II combo, want the crush and the tp1 combo. Mainly fish with med-heavy and heavy. Lews has excellent gear. 👍

[@Slking507]

Wonder what the differences are between the Mach 2, and the Mach Pro... 🤔

[@motojockey8559]

I like the content that you bring to the videos keep them coming. I also am looking into getting into the the bigger tournaments. So keep them coming.

If you could only have one of those for your only rod, which one would it be?

Nice bud thanks for checkin it out after you commented on the other vid

[@johngreen4511]

I don't own either of the Lews combos. I am new to throwing a baitcaster. But I am trying to learn all I can. I want to try and get one of them soon I hope. Should I go with a cheaper baitcaster or a more expensive to learn how to throw one? Thanks for your videos. I really enjoy them. Thanks again John

Brakes are better on a more expensive model and would be better

[@transmech]

I’ve got a Mach II I love it I really want a Mach crush out of curiosity since the latter is suppose to be better and I can’t fathom that.

[@patrickray909]

Hey bud what was the name of the rod you reccomend for the crush reel?

[@BassWhoopinFishingTeam]

I own both and love both. With regular maintenance and cleaning and with the right reel oil they are both equally as smooth. The Crush offers a little higher drag but how often are you using anymore than 10lbs of drag or so? Not very often... The Crush rod is a little nicer too but I own a Pro Ti and a HyperMAG and they are both insane as well. But i also have a cheap american hero combo i picked up for 70 bucks 2 years ago and again with proper cleaning and lubing it's pretty freaking smooth, certainly not as smooth and quality feeling as my Pro Ti and HyperMAG but the price you pay for a setup does NOT make you a better angler or catch you more fish. I always tell people go to the store, pick em up, play with em and buy what feels right to you. Lew's makes amazing stuff. It's all i use. I have a few 13 fishing setups but i own a TON of Lew's stuff and it's my go to. But I've picked up the Abu Garcia Promax combo and was pleasantly surprised for only 100 bucks! This day and age there are a lot of companies out there that make REALLY nice stuff for the money. My girlfriend has the Pflueger Lady Trion spinning combo and that thing is ungodly smooth it isn't even funny. And at only 70-80 bucks! So it comes down to preference with me. Sure it's nice to be able to afford the Pro Ti and HyperMAG but they AREN'T needed to have a successful day out on the water. The Crush and Mach 2 combos are killer for the price. Personally the Winn Grips are my all time favorite. It really does help out when your hands are wet. They took some time getting used to for me but after a few hours of using them i can't go back to the other handles.

[@goforthandfish8393]

Keep an eye on the metal line guides...I fished the Mach Speed Stick heavily with fluoro (never braid), and the rod tip developed a groove that snapped my line on a hook set. I have it one video...if you'd like to see it, skip to 13:15 kzbin.info/www/bejne/mqTYn3Z6j797adU Fixed it by polishing that guide with emery cloth. Now I'm constantly checking the thing to make sure it doesn't happen again.

[@JamieAndKarenShow]

Should I lube up my brand new mach 2 or is lews good about that?

[@zoomzoomgt]

So is the new mach pro (silver/yellow accent) just a reskin mach 2 reel with crush rod?

[@wyattdean5192]

I have the Mach 2 probably one of my favorite baitcasters ever

[@gregmsnow]

Wyatt Dean agree

[@jakevillaret]

Can you throw a little bit of everything on the crush heavy or is it not great for crank baits/ spinnerbaits etc?

[@BeyondTheBoundsOutdoors]

Yup

[@joshuastorms2020]

Ive had the crush for about a year and absolutely love it.

[@gonzales2j3l]

What are your thoughts on Lews BB1 versus Mach Crush. I have a BB! and it cast a mile. Wondering if it would be better getting a second BB1 or grab a crush

[@BeyondTheBoundsOutdoors]

Both of the mach series do very well in casting...i crank and topwater with mine. The crush is my favorite...and ive only recently picked up a bb1!!!!...i know right...grab the crush you wont be dissapointed

[@creighart]

I don’t have the combo but have the mach 2 reel on another lews rod and its been fished in the rain over 20 hours/dunked multiple times and still works perfect without ever being maintained other than cleaning dried grass off the visible outside parts. No problems with drag and have pulled 2 bass over 6.5lbs out of thick pads and multiple over 5lbs. I’m confident this thing could handle pretty much any size bass and situation.

[@josephnywayfarer1345]

I love all things Lew’s I have the Mach 1 baitcaster combo, the Mach 2 spinning reel, the Mach Crush spinning and baitcaster combos. I use the Crush baitcaster combo for 90 plopper, spinnerbaits and squarebill cranks. Absolutely love it. Don’t pay $200 for it look for sales and coupons. I got mine for almost half price. I have no complaints about the combo other than the knobs get filthy and the reel is graphite. I would have preferred it to be aluminum framed for the price they are asking. They solved both issues with the new Custom Black combo. Aluminum frame reel and the knobs have black Winn grips. Wasn’t available when I bought my Crush or I would have spent the extra dollars for it.

[@bassnazi4713]

My sister had some orange scented baby wipes, just the generic kind from Wal-Mart, she thought the orange smell was too strong so i took them to use whenever I was finished fishing. You have to rub run to get the grime out of it but will totally clean up way better than I thought possible lol.

[@josephnywayfarer1345]

Thanks for the tip. I have heard people use the Mr. Clean Magic Eraser to get the Winn knobs clean. I have stayed away from anything other than a damp rag as that’s what is said on the Winn care guide from Lew’s. I am wary of alcohol and chemicals in wipes as they might dry out or damage the knobs over time. I guess I could always buy a new knob from Lew’s if that happens

i've had a mach 2 for about 3 yrs now, and it's been a great all-arounder. definitely alot of bang for your buck. somehow i lost the insert for the rod tip. when i went online to replace the rod, i learned that the most recent version has less guides, and is not rated the same as the one i have, so i went with a custom speed stick, which has the same specs as the mach 2 i currently own. i also have some higher end combos from diawa and shimano. they're great and all, but they really drive home the point that lew's gives you a hell of alot for the money you spend on them.
