Hey guys- so I am thinking about switching over to some Lews stuff- I used some years ago w Tom Mann and thought about it then but didnt pull the trigger.

What model is their work horse type reel? For instance winding stuff around? I like to stay with the same model and maybe just adjust the ratios.

Where is the best place to get Lews also- any board sponsors?

Also my bro has some of the red and black academy hackney models and loves them. I noticed they have some limited stock left at stores for $69 v $99 what he paid.
What are yalls thoughts on those rods. They feel nice and light for sure. I even noticed Hackney seems to still use them some.
