[@Leonard4fishing]

I’ve had a really good time using the 13 fishing A3 concept for the past 3 years and now it’s showing it’s wear, I’m looking for a reel with great casting and a tough drag system.

Lew's is no joke, they will step all over a Shimano ..All day long..

[@GFWoodchuck]

None of them are stepping all over any other within price points .

[@davidthomas2921]

@GFWoodchuck Price point...High grade fishing equipment is an investment..There is a market for high grade fishing equipment..Not the cheap stuff, they sell at Walmart...Fact of the matter, you get what you pay for..Stay in your lane..

[@GFWoodchuck]

@@davidthomas2921 I don't know what your point is. A 100 dollar Lews is no better than a 100 dollar Shimano is no better than a 100 dollar Daiwa is no better than a 100 dollar Lew's. Who said anything about comparing a 500 dollar Metanium to a 60 dollar Walmart reel. I said within price point.

[@davidthomas2921]

@GFWoodchuck I wouldn't buy a 100.00 reel from anyone..350.00 and up..Stay in your lane..

[@GFWoodchuck]

@@davidthomas2921 You can't even keep in your own OP. You made a point. And it's seriously flawed. Telling people you won't buy a XP or a SLX doesn't substantiate your original point. You said Lew's is better than others. And it's absolutely not.
