Lew's Most Expensive Reels!! Do you NEED these reels? Are They Worth It?

[@wesgrindstaff79]

I used to have Mach reels and loved them, but now my box is Custom Pros, a Magnesium Pro, 2 Lites and 2 Pro Ti. There is a drastic difference between the higher end reels and entry level but they do get the job done.

[@JB3_fishing]

I wouldn’t say a big difference but I don’t think you can make a bad decision picking any of them.

That was a pretty good video; thanks for posting.

[@JB3_fishing]

Glad you liked it!👊🏾👊🏾 thanks for watching!!

[@GodGunsGills]

I love both knobs! Both are easy to hold onto

[@JB3_fishing]

Nice!!

[@MikeB-68]

I picked up a Gen 1 TI Pro from a buddy of mine barely used for $125...He needed the money but the only reason he let it go is because he had 2...I paired it with the matching TI pro rod and i gotta tell ya i couldn't be happier with that setup...been crushing river Smallies with it on a chatterbait.

[@JB3_fishing]

I love the Gen 1 model!!! It was my first introduction to the Pro Ti!!

[@GodGunsGills]

Amen! Just like in the gun hobby certain guns with high price points isn't for everyone! I'm going with Daniel Defense!!! That Pro TI is where it's at and those knobs are amazing

[@JB3_fishing]

You’re 100% correct!!

[@MJ-1981]

Thanks for the vid I have Gen 1 Hypermag and Pro TI I love em both but the Custom Pro which costs less is my favorite depending on the situation. Are your comparisons between new Gen 2 vs used or new Gen 1s??

[@JB3_fishing]

All my comparisons are based on my personal experiences using the reels. I try my best to use them before I talk about them so I can the pros and cons for a fair review.

[@noujaiyang1513]

I own both reels and they are nice paired with their machining rods.

[@JB3_fishing]

I couldn’t agree more!! Which is your favorite?

[@noujaiyang1513]

@@JB3_fishingI couldn’t choose. I like both. Lol.

@@noujaiyang1513 nice!!!

[@briantherion5464]

LFS for the win!

[@JB3_fishing]

Definitely a great choice!!

[@floydmayes4924]

Rather have a Daiwa any day of the week!

[@GodGunsGills]

Thumbs up!!!

[@JB3_fishing]

👊🏾👊🏾

[@MONGO573]

I picked up the pro TI elite for 350 at land big Fish when they had their sale no way is the elite reel is worth $500 I can buy a Daiwa steez for 100 dollars less

[@JB3_fishing]

What didn’t you like about it?

[@MONGO573]

What I didn’t like about it was the price it’s a doyo reel made for lews don’t get me wrong. Lews makes awesome stuff. But at that price point Shimano and daiwa high-end reels I can get from Japan for over $100 less than the cost of the lews

[@GodGunsGills]

​@MONGO573 agreed, but I'm just addicted to the Lew's brand, logo, name, colors....

[@MONGO573]

@@GodGunsGills there is nothing wrong with Lews reels I own own a bunch myself but compared to the Japanese reels they are not in the same league in my opinion and at that price point of $500 plus tax for me I rather have the Japanese reels I will let you know how the pro Ti elite fishes and you have a great day and I hope you catch a giant bass in the teen size

[@Fishing0683]

Bro just watched, I really enjoyed your approach, and full out honestly

[@JB3_fishing]

Glad you enjoyed👊🏾👊🏾!

[@MarkBurrell-po2sp]

No

[@JB3_fishing]

@@MarkBurrell-po2sp why not?

[@MarkBurrell-po2sp]

I just go Shimano the work the best and they don’t break I got a 1995 curado 200 still works great every time just like new….. and the new models are money

[@JB3_fishing]

@ I gotcha!

[@Joseph-StormWalker]

Daiwa & Shimano are way better

[@JB3_fishing]

Have you tried either of these 2 reels?

[@GodGunsGills]

​@@JB3_fishingI bet he hasn't

[@richardbailey2518]

Shimano is definitely good but you gotta give these less a shot they are 💯

[@SILKYSMOOTH30FPS]

21 Zillion over anything and everything Lews. $200 from Japan is a ridiculous deal for what you're getting.

[@JB3_fishing]

@@SILKYSMOOTH30FPS If you say so but if it breaks you get NO warranty for it either so to buy a JDM reel and no warranty sounds like a waste of moment imo

[@SILKYSMOOTH30FPS]

@@JB3_fishing Who breaks baitcasters, tho? Cheapo baitcasters are really hard to break, let alone a high quality Made in Japan one. This "you have the warranty when buying in the US" is just an excuse of making you purchasing a far inferior reel. And this applies to Daiwa themselves as well. Buying the Zillion G that is made in Thailand, and costs $170 more (before taxes) is the biggest waste of time and money there is. With the current yen, ignoring JDM gear is simply foolish.
