Built to pay homage to the American Warrior. Forged from the finest raw materials and tested relentlessly in the harshest elements – to deliver nothing short of the best. Team Lew’s new American Hero® Tier 1 Spinning Reel is a tournament-ready reel built on a high-performance aluminum frame to withstand the abuse of serious anglers. The Tier 1 is expertly designed for consistent, tangle-free casting, and a smooth, low-torque retrieval. Light enough for finesse fishing, yet with a proven Lew’s drag that is powerful enough for fighting big fish. And the Multicam Dip system gives every single Tier 1 reel a unique design.
Make no mistake, the team behind Lew’s American Hero series is absolutely committed to offering top-level performance gear that excels on the water and puts more fish in the boat. However, the heart of the series is much more than the product. The team pledges a portion of every American Hero sale to support organizations that work to benefit and restore the body, mind, and spirit of veterans who are transitioning into civilian life.
Key to the extreme light weight of the Tournament Lite is the wildly popular LFS one-piece aluminum frame with C45 carbon side plates, paired with an aircraft-grade double anodized Duralumin 34mm spool. The reel weighs in for the fight at only 5.3 oz. This is a critical benefit for all-day fishing, particularly in heavier applications. Engineered specifically for the challenges of serious fishing, the Tournament Lite LFS boasts Lew’s hard aluminum alloy Speed Gears, which were cut on high quality Hamai CNC gear hobbling machines, and the battle tested P2 Super Pinion bearing supported pinion gear. This smart engineering ensures precise alignment, an exceptionally smooth operation and, critical for top-level equipment, extended gear life. When anglers invest in the highest quality reels, they demand dependability and consistency. Lew’s meets these demands with the Tournament Lite LFS.
The new and improved Lew’s Tournament Pro Speed Spool LFS is ready to impress. From its stylish good looks to its beefed-up interior, the Tournament Pro is redefining what performance is all about. The Tournament Pro LFS includes an Adjustable Centrifugal Braking System and is built around solid brass Speed Gears, so from cast to catch you’re covered.
Having to manhandle a bag of fish in the weigh line is stressful enough under even the best scenarios--there's a lot that can go wrong. This heavy duty, double sealed and leak-free PVC construction bag is durable, deep and ready to keep water and the catch together in the confines of the bag. The inner portion of the bag is black, which has been found to have a calming effect on bass. Keeping fish alive and stress free also has a calming effect on anglers!
Lew’s Speed Covers are made with a thick but lightweight 2MM high-density neoprene, designed to protect your reel from the elements while still on the rod. Quality hook and loop fasteners provide easy on/off application.
Built on Lew’s new and exclusive SLP Super Low Profile platform, the new Custom Pro speed spool is compact, powerful and loaded. It is Lew’s lowest profile design ever, weighs only 5.8 ounces, sits super low on the reel seat and provides unmatched balance. Made possible by SLP cutting-edge engineering, styling and performance, the Team Lew’s Custom Pro is 10 percent smaller than traditional Speed Spools, yet has all of the top-of-the-line features.
