Product Details
Team Lew's Pro SP™ 6 oz. 8.3:1 Left Hand Baitcast Reel by Lew's®. From the mind of professional angler Andy Montgomery and the engineering team at Lew's comes the new Team Lew's Pro SP Skipping and Pitching reel. The super shallow spool holds 40 yards of 20-pound-test fluorocarbon for faster spool start up and reduced deep spool backlashes. The innovative Knot Slot recesses the spool knot so you have smooth, even line lay. The externally adjustable QuietCast® ACB system includes a special "Skipping Zone" to maximize distance and reduce backlash when skipping a bait under a dock. The result is a reel that has all the performance of a Lew's reel, finely tuned for skipping and pitching. According to Montgomery, "This reel let's me skip a bait further and with less backlash than ever before.".
