Catching the Correct Lew's Baitcasting Reels

Lew's baitcasting fishing reels are a time-honored product by a fishing legend, and Lew Childre would want you to have a checklist to select the perfect gear. Read further for the tips to turn your search into an easy one so you get out onto the water or shore more quickly and with the correct equipment.

Choosing the right reel on eBay

First, determine if you wish to enhance a favorite rod of your own with a reel or go for a complete replacement with one of Lew's baitcasting fishing reels combos. Next, consider the species of the fish you're going for. If you want crappie or other panfish in your creel, then select the reel, rod, or combo with just the right weight to catch your limit. Last, a basic choice is whether you are right- or left-handed because Lew's baitcasting fishing reels rods cater to both kinds of reels interchangeably. Yet another option is a dual right- or left-handed hand-retrieve feature all in one reel.

Are there differences between freshwater and saltwater equipment?

Yes. Saltwater equipment encounters corrosion from salt, and you'll be wise to select a reel that's been anodized for protection. Some coatings are:

  • Titanium
  • Alodine
  • Teflon
  • Chem film
How are inexpensive baitcasting fishing reels geared differently from spinning reels?

You're already an experienced angler, and you're ready to tackle fishing with a baitcasting reel. The baitcaster contains the same strong rotating spool as a spinning sort, but you are manually handling the line. With one of Lew's baitcasting fishing reels, your creel or livewell will hold panfish, bass, or saltwater species quickly because you're in control of settling your line exactly where you cast it regardless of the direction determined by the weight of the lure and bait. Other pluses are the ability to retrieve poor casts faster and superior drag performance.

What colors are available in Lew's baitcasting fishing reels?

You may select from white, red, black, green, camo, and metallic shades to match the color of your favorite rod. In addition to gaining greater visibility, you'll be able to customize your gear. Other advantages include picking out your gear from others while on a group fishing expedition.

What gear ratios come in new or used Lew's baitcasting fishing reels?

Since a sample gear ratio of 6.3:1 means that the spool rotates 6.3 times for every full turn of the reel handle, you may select according to the fish you're seeking and the water conditions. Ratios offered include:

  • 1.0:1
  • 4.0:1
  • 4.2:1
  • 5.6:1
  • 7.6:1
