From the mind of professional angler Andy Montgomery and the engineering team at Lew’s comes the new Team Lew’s Pro SP Skipping and Pitching reel. The super shallow spool holds 40 yards of 20-pound-test fluorocarbon for faster spool start up and reduced deep spool backlashes. The innovative Knot Slot recesses the spool knot, so you have smooth, even line lay. The externally adjustable QuietCast® ACB system includes a special “Skipping Zone” to maximize distance and reduce backlash when skipping a bait under a dock. The result is a reel that has all the performance of a Lew’s reel, finely tuned for skipping and pitching. According to Montgomery, “This reel lets me skip a bait further and with less backlash than ever before.” 9 Bearing System with stainless steel double shielded ball bearings Zero Reverse® one-way clutch bearing One-piece aluminum frame Graphite sideplates Drilled and forged, anodized Duralumin 32mm shallow spool with Knot Slot QuietCast® externally Adjustable Centrifugal Brake system Hard anodized aluminum alloy Speed Gears®, precision cut on Hamai CNC machines with P2 SuperPinion™ bearing supported pinion gear 95mm bowed anodized aluminum handle with EVA knobs Zirconia line guide Carbon fiber drag system Patented retractable Speed Keeper® hook keeper allows you to secure lures and Texas rigged baits without scratching your reel Knot slot in the spool allows to hide the knot so the line comes off smoothly External lube port Speed Lube® for exceptional smoothness and performance in all weather conditions
