[QUOTE="Crow Terminator, post: 5360006, member: 220"] Dad had me order him 5 Lews baitcasters like Timmy Horton uses...I did and got 2 for me as well. They were $200 each a couple yrs ago. Not one single reel of those 7 is functional now. Several of them had the level wind quit working and or break. The rest, the gears stripped out of them. Dad said he would never buy another Lews and we've since replaced all our bait casters with Diawa Tatula models. No troubles at all. Just routine maintenance for them. The last Lews I gave the benefit of doubt to, was a spinning rod and reel combo I got at Walmart for like $70. It felt really good in hand but the rod broke the first time I took it fishing while reeling in a trout. On that same note, just this weekend I had a St Croix panfish edition rod break while fighting a little spotted bass. Broke right above the lower guide. I was going to get another one but read reviews that a lot of people were saying the new ones were junk and breaking about in the same place mine did. So I jumped ship and just got an ole Ugly Stick. I figured if it breaks, I'm just out $40. [/QUOTE]
