Lews reel for a punching set up?

[Pool14RiverRat]

Which Lews bait caster is the best for a punching set up. 8 foot rod 65# braid big weights. Let me know

Since you’re specifically looking at Lews, I’d say one of the super dutys.

Any particular reason why it has to be a Lews real?

I guess it doesn’t really have to be a Lews. I just have a few hypermags and really the love the feel of the small frame in my hand

In that case, check out the Tatula Elite Pitch/Flip... It has a small, tough frame with a 100mm handle and barrel knobs. It's a great punch/flip/pitch reel. Through the end of this month it qualifies for the Simms Shirt Promo as well.

This, any lews will probably work, but you're running a heavy duty punching setup and want a reel to match. The tatula elite pitch/flip is a workhorse and the bigger handle is a huge plus. I've considering buying the handle to replace the handle on my old Tatula HD I use for frog fishing. If you're dead set on a lews I'd go with the Lew's PRO SP. You'll like the shallower spool for pitching and flipping and obviously don't need to waste a ton of line that you'll never use.

If you're going with Lew's, the Pro SP would be your best option in my opinion. I just got one and have only used it once, but you can tell it's a workhorse reel and made for heavy cover fishing. Shimano has the Bantam A MGL, which is a tank of a reel and handles heavy duty applications very well. And as mentioned, the Daiwa Tatula Elite Pitch/Flip would be a great option as well. I don't think you can go wrong with any of these three reels, it all boils down to personal preference.

THIS..^^^

I have two of these Tatula punch/flip reels and love them. The larger handle is amazing.. it makes such a difference when comparing to "regular" sized handles. Good luck
