Northwest Fishing Reports

I'm no expert,but I've gone almost exclusively to LEWS for baitcasting and spinning reels. The $100-150 reels feel like $300 reels to me. Smooth! On another note, I've gone almost exclusively to the bass pro shop rods. For $100 or less, they're light and sturdy AND if you break one or "feed one to t...

Thanks for the info. I'll give it a try.
