Product Details
American Hero 6.4:1 Left Hand Baitcast Reel by Lew's®. The American Hero Speed Spool reel features a one-piece, lightweight, graphite composite frame and sideplates, making it incredibly strong yet lightweight and ideal for all fishing situations. It's a beauty too, mixing black sideplates and a machine forged anodized aluminum blue spool and tension knob, no doubt making it stand out among the other gear on the boat deck.
