Fishing Gear: Lew's KVD Baitcast Reel

Lew’s KVD Baitcast Reel

Description and Application: Built with exacting specifications, the new KVD Series reels gives anglers the ability to make long casts, feel what the lure is doing with their smooth retrieves, have the power to handle the biggest bites, and durability to last for years. The KVD Series features all aluminum frames, strong drags and is priced so that every angler will be able to fish with the same product the most accomplished professional angler in the world uses every day.

Staff Perspective:Featuring a sharp finish, knowing the reel was built with oversight from the GOAT himself—Kevin VanDam—is the top selling point. It comes standard with 95mm bowed anodized aluminum handle with EVA knobs, a zirconia line guide, an external lube port and more. The reel comes in both right- and lefthanded models and three gear ratios to cover all the bases: 6.2:1, 7.5:1 and 8.3:1. This reel has you covered, and it looks good doing it.
