I have a few, I like them. What models are you looking at?
Best cranking ever made. Period. BB-1pro 5.1:1.
Yeah, Lews offers a ton of different models, and pricing.

Haven’t had a minutes issue out of my Super Duty (2), and a Team Lew’s Lite I picked up last Summer. Smooth, quiet, and trouble free. Casting distance is excellent.

I have 14 of them (2 in 8.3:1, 3 in 7.1:1, 2 in 5.1:1, and 7 in 6.4:1) and all work flawlessly and have for years.

You should know that in bee tending if you don't shut your trap the bees will get out.
Have over 20 Lee's. From the MB on up and have not had any issues with any of them and they get fished a lot
I like Lews. I’m in the minority though where I’ve had drag issues with older MGs and speed spools. I have about half the amount of drag as when it was new. I clean them regularly so they aren’t abused, and I only fish about 20times a year so they don’t see much work anyway. They make a decent reel but I think I prefer Abu more, same reel different cosmetics. Next reel will probably be Daiwa or back to Shimano for me.

Just my opinion. Lews tournament mb is one of the better reels for $
My third favorite reel company. Solid reels just not my cup of tea.
I have a had a few models over the last 5-6 years that went from $140- to over $200 and I am not a big fan. I ve used mostly curados and chronarchs last 15 years but started usind Daiwa's last year and won't look back. I love thre tatula sv tw.
I have a few of the Pro-g models.. I like them a lot.
I have several, maybe 10 or so (bait-casters). They have all been excellent.

I have 40. Use the Tournament Pro or BB1-Pro. BB1 has wider spool and good cranking choice. TP is a great all-around reel. I have many Team Less Tournament Pros which are their high end units. Super easy to clean and change out bearings.
a while back i sold all my fishing gear and since have built my rod and reel arsenal back to 20+ combos of mostly shimano and daiwa reels. The one year i got back into fishing (had time to do so) i bought five powell max 3d rods of the boards and bought five lews lfs reels the 89 dollar one. the reels were new. before this i had higher end rods and reels ect. i fished those five combos pretty much that whole year really hard. I only had five set ups so they got used a lot fishing 3-4 days a week. The lews really surprised me especially for the price not one messed up and stayed very smooth after that year. they would definitely be my first pick if the japan reels were not in the picture i really enjoyed them. palmed great, cast great, easy to dial in, and they seem pretty solid especially for the price!!
I have thrown some of yours before Bill. LOL
I have a bunch of the Super Duty standard size and several of the Super Duty wide spools. Love them all. My wife likes the BB1 Pro's the best. I have over 30 Lews reels and haven't had a single issue with any of them.
love my older tournament pros and tournament lite but didnt care for the bb1 pro at all. The super duty's were great but prefer my curado e's. After trying the tatula sv this past weekend, I might sell my curado e's. Really liking the tatula sv so far and I have 3 more on the way.
