Lews BB1 Speed Spool Baitcast Reel

Lews BB1 Speed Spool Baitcast Reel - The original BB1 introduced anglers to several firsts, including the low-profile design, narrow spool, fully disengaging levelwind, and no-knob palming side cover. The new BB1 series does everything the original did, but better, with the use of modern technology and materials. Also features a one-piece die cast aluminum frame; machined forged aluminum, double anodized, U-shaped large capacity spool; premium 10-bearing system; four-pin, positive on/off centrifugal braking system; carbon composite drag system with 14-lbs. of drag power; bowed 95mm aluminum cranking handle; oversized titanium line guide; and a quick release side plate mechanism. This reel is sure to have as many loyal followers as the original!
