Lews BB2 Inshore Reels

[sandiegotennispro]

I have not seen many reviews of this reel at all.

Anyone tried it?

Also if you have used the lews tournament pro in saltwater has it held up?

I have the bb2 inshore. I have fished it pretty hard so far. I have had it since December and used it with 20lb fluorocarbon and swimbaits for a the first month. It worked well for this application. I have it loaded up with 65lb braid now and have used it inshore for snook and like it a lot. I would buy another one.

What reels have you owned before that you used for saltwater? How is the casting ability of this reel and the smoothness of the retrieve?

I have a curado 200 and 300e. The casting is really great I like the external adjustment on the lews. It is pretty smooth about as smooth as you could expect from a reel in the price class. The curados have held up fine and the lews seems to be as well.
