Fishing Gear: Lew's BB1 Pro

Lew’s BB1 Pro

Description and Application: The BB1 Pro has been a mainstay on the professional angling circuit since its introduction in 2012. The new BB1 Pro offers additional features for anglers who are serious about their pursuits, including an ergonomically tapered lightweight aluminum frame with graphite side plates, and Lew’s new custom paddle grips. These elements are a must for long hours on the water under tough fishing conditions when comfort and ease of use are critical. What sets the BB1 Pro LFS apart is the performance of the 27-position QuietCast Adjustable Centrifugal Braking System, delivering precise control of spool breaking and exceptional casting. An additional feature on the BB1 Pro LFS is the dual stage titanium-coated line guide, which is positioned farther away from the spool for reduced line friction and maximized casting performance.

Staff Perspective:The BB1 has been a staple for serious bass anglers for some time now, they are reliable and built to withstand seasons of abuse. The new version offers quite a few improvements that savvy bass anglers will certainly appreciate. And the price is just hard to beat. The reel is available in both right- and lefthanded models, and three gear ratios: 6.2:1, 7.5:1 and 8.3:1. This family of reels will cover all your bases for sure.
