Is It Worth It⁉️ Lew’s HyperMag Compared To Other Lew’s Reels‼️ 

They’ve got some good quality stuff!

Good choice on the KVD. It’s a great reel, and looks great too. I love mine. I need to get out to Eagle Mountain sometime. Never fished it.

I agree. The LFS is a solid reel and will last. There are cheaper Lew’s reels out there, but I feel like the Aluminum frame holds up longer. 👊

For sure. Pretty solid lineup throughout! 👊

Hey, that’s fantastic! You’ll absolutely love it!!

I love Lew’s reels and have so many of them. Never regretted any of them.

$155 is a great price, where at?

@@bigal1419 Basspro they only have the left retriever left. I bought it with a discount 15% on Mondays for club members and some points I had collected. I am now looking for a good rod for it.

@@bigal1419they are 170 at cabelas

They’re great reels! Had two, and just bought a third!!

Totally agree! Even the LFS is a solid one!

@@FishingtheLoneStar Absolutely, I have the saltwater LFS and the saltwater custom. Haven’t used a bad one yet really. Most recent purchase was 2 off the KVD reels and the PRO SP for skipping & pitching

It’s such a sweet reel! I have since picked up a second one! Also, that TFO rod and HyperMag combined weighs less than 10 ounces. Such an awesome combo!!

I purchased the TFO 7'3 heavy, so I'll have the same set up as you. I also love using swim jigs, so it's going to work well with what I'm going to be using it for. Thanks for the video. It helped.

Nice! I love my MP.

I’ve tried them. But for the value and durability of the Lew’s reels I own, I stick with them!

I throw it on the 7’3 Heavy. Mainly for swim jigs or paddle tail swimbaits with 1/4 - 1/2 oz weights and 17-20 lb flouro.

Would it be good for chatter bait as well?

@@jerridcejas2327 - you can throw a chatterbait with it, but usually you want a more parabolic rod for chatterbaits. Instead of a fast action, look for a moderate action in the M to MH power range. I use the TFO Tactical Glass rod for chatterbaits. The 7’4 MH moderate.

Oh okay. Yeah that makes sense. On the 7'3 heavy it can also be used for Texas rig and punching?

@@jerridcejas2327 - Yes. I have three is the same rod, and the third one is for Texas rigs. For punching really thick stuff, I’d move up to the 7’4 XHvy or 7’6 XHvy. You can definitely flip with it though.

When you really stop to think about that, it really is crazy. I was afraid it would also feel too light or not sturdy enough, but I love it so far!!

Get the Pro Ti instead. It has more aluminum in the frame and rock solid breaking system.

Which ones did you buy? That’s like saying you bought a Chevy. Lots of different models out there, and some are value models, and some are way nicer and higher quality.

@@FishingtheLoneStar Lew CXPB1SH One still works fine. Two however both had drags lock up. While trying to free the drag (turning it to loose as possible), it still would not free up and trying to force it just destroyed the gearing and now it is trash. I have no desire for any more Lew reels. Two out of three is just terrible. IMO. I have Abu Garcia reels that are 30 years old and still work.

@@APBT-Bandog - if I’m not mistaken, that one is only offered at Bass pro, and has a graphite frame. I’d recommend getting aluminum frames or higher only. I have no fewer than 25 Lew’s reels, and not a single one of them have had this issue. And again, comparing Lew’s and Abu Garcia by brand name only isn’t apples to apples. You have to compare similar components.

@@FishingtheLoneStar The Abu Garcias I was comparing it to were literally 30-40 years old. I fished a ton when I was 13-24 years old...but after that I pretty much quit as I entered a new stage in life. I however started fishing again when my son was 14...taking him out and we went through my old equipment, and bought some new stuff. My old stuff is still working and two of the new reals already broke. haha. I cannot help but find humor and disappointment in that. Studying up a bit, I decided to go back to either just Abu Garcia...looked up who owned them as I was also impressed with Penn. I found out Pure Fishing owns both...and that Penn is now ranked best in corrosion, so I ordered a few upgrades going with the Penn Fathom 200 series today to replace the broken Lews. Reliability is most important to me.

Penn is more of a Saltwater reel which is why it’s rated higher for corrosion. I guess my point was the cheaper end of any brand is going to break more than the higher end of any brand.
