Quantum Smoke vs. Lew's reel
Quantum Smoke vs. Lew's reel
Is it just me or is the Quantum Smoke and Lew's Tournament Pro Speed Spool Casting Reel utilizing the same frame? I thought about picking up a Lew's Tournament Pro Speed Spool reel up, but was wondering if anyone has gotten to open one up? What are the guts, and particularly the drag like? Any thoughts are much appreciated.

i think the lews reels are built in the same factories as the pure fishing and bass pro reels

I was just looking at both of them at cabelas. The Lews frame is a little smaller I believe. I'm really wanting to pull the trigger on one of those Lews TP. They look and feel really nice in person.

The Lews frame is smaller, I went to Cabelas to check them out when I saw the specs and the weight of the Lews was about the same as the Smoke , after looking at them and holding both it is obvious the frame is smaller but it is a super nice reel, if I didn't get a Smoke I would have gotten the Lews, in fact it may be the next reel I get.revo680 wrote:I was just looking at both of them at cabelas.

Do any of you guys know if the knobs are bearing supported?

The knobs on the new Lew's reels are bearing supported.
