Nitroman Posted December 26, 2015 Posted December 26, 2015 Well if anyone thought it would not & / or could not happen it did. BPS 2016 MASTER CATALOG is showing 5 models of LEW'S bait casting reels & 2 bait casting reel / rod combos. Did not see any spinning reels, spinning combos, or bait casting rods but, can they be far behind ??????? big c 1 Rock View Resort Table Rock Lake Greg Pope, Owner/Operator & Fishing Guide
Quillback Posted December 26, 2015 Posted December 26, 2015 Good to see them at another retailer, one of these days I will buy a Lews, heard a lot of good things about them. But if JM wants me to buy one at BPS, he'll need to put them on sale.

Heck of a reel for the price....I have 5 now Champ188 1 "Honor is a man's gift to himself" Rob Roy McGregor
abkeenan Posted December 26, 2015 Posted December 26, 2015 You won't beat the pricing on LEW's reels from Sportsman's Outfitters who have their own website and are a big Ebay seller as well. Usually a few bucks cheaper if you buy directly from their website. Champ188 1

I have got some nicer ones since but i cant say one bad word about the cheaper ones though. In fact i was about to throw the towell in on baitcasters until these. I was always buying some crumbing BPS combo and would rat nest like crazy. Got a cheap lews and now i own one shimano spinner and about 10 Lews spinners and baitcasters. Mitch f 1
Guest Posted December 27, 2015 Posted December 27, 2015 I've heard the Lew's BB1 series has problems. Anybody having issues with the BB1?

I just bought two a week ago in a 5.1:1 gear ratio. I can chime in after I get some use on them. I've talked to the guys at Sportsmans about them a bit and they claim the regular BB1 is still their farthest casting reel in their lineup and one of their top sellers, even with all the new and different technology they've got in their other reels.
