Robust mechanics for complete versatility on the water

Smooth and durable gearing for active lure fishing

The Lew's Speed Spool LFS Gen 3 features solid brass Speed Gears precision-machined using high-accuracy CNC equipment to deliver exceptionally smooth rotation. This drivetrain is reinforced by P2 Super Pinion technology, which supports the pinion with bearings to ensure optimal mechanical alignment even when significant pressure is applied during the fight. This provides consistent cranking power, making it ideal for targeting hard-fighting species such as pike and zander. This carefully engineered design also helps extend the lifespan of the baitcasting reel by reducing internal friction during repeated retrieves.

Precise casting control for black bass and pike fishing

Managing your casting distance becomes intuitive thanks to the MCS magnetic control system, with its externally adjustable dial allowing instant adjustments without opening the side plate. This easy-to-use adjustment system provides excellent technical versatility, allowing you to quickly switch between different lure techniques, from topwater lures to Texas rigs or rubber jigs. The 34 mm U-shaped anodized aluminum spool promotes even line lay and helps reduce the risk of backlashes during powerful casts. The 95 mm handle fitted with Pro Power Knobs completes the ergonomic design, providing a secure and comfortable grip when fishing for black bass in heavy cover.
