Jerry Rapp Posted January 15, 2014 Posted January 15, 2014 time will tell how well they hold up. Another forum that I frequent doesn't give the Lews as many accolades as you folks. Shimano quality is tough to beat.

Quillback Posted January 15, 2014 Posted January 15, 2014 I've heard a lot of good stuff about the Lew's, Jason if you have time you'll have to know what you think of them compared to your Curados.
Bill Babler Posted January 15, 2014 Posted January 15, 2014 During Phil Stones Seminar we will have the complete line of Lew's reels for you all to gander at. http://whiteriveroutfitters.com http://whiteriverlodgebb.com
abkeenan Posted January 15, 2014 Posted January 15, 2014 Jerry. I have 7 curados to keep. The lews has a big hill to clump to pass them. I will say I like my E7 Curado just a little more than my Lew's but that is no knock on Lew's (I have 4 of them obviously for a reason). Just love that little Shimano green tank. Lew's is the best thing going for the price right now. I will say I had my hands on the Daiwa Tatula a few weeks ago at BPS in STL and they reminded me A LOT of the E series Curado's. Seemed like they were built really well just like the pre G series Curados. Might want to take a look into them if you are in the market for a new baitcaster.
Jason Essary Posted January 17, 2014 Author Posted January 17, 2014 Owner is very happy with the reels. Going to get a lew's. If I like it I will sell a couple curados next.

aarchdale@coresleep.com Posted January 19, 2014 Posted January 19, 2014 I got rid of 2 Curados for the cheap 79 dollar Lews...And not the least bit mad about it. Just got a Lews BB1 last summer and it is a fine machine
abkeenan Posted January 20, 2014 Posted January 20, 2014 I got rid of 2 Curados for the cheap 79 dollar Lews...And not the least bit mad about it. Just got a Lews BB1 last summer and it is a fine machine I bought one of the 79.99 Lews Laser MG's when BassTackleDepot had a 25% off sale and they are decent for the price. I wouldn't buy another one for the simple fact that the frame is made of graphite instead of aluminum like the rest of the Lew's reels and I have found when fighting a fish there is a little bit of flex on the reel. I don't like that but its not a huge deal. Still pretty nice for a cheaper reel. Spend the extra $20 at least and get the $99.99 Speed Spool or one of the step ups from them.
