Very nice and I like it very much

I have not been able to use the reel yet due to everything being frozen over, but I like the size, feel and quality of the reel. It feels very similar to the Speed spool and the Custom Black. I have it spooled up with Strike King Contra 30# braid, and I've made some casts with it in the back yard and It's very smooth and easily adjustable. I like all the options it has and the fact that it has an aluminum frame, dual brakes, and lube port. I like the Winn grips on my other Lews reels, but these EVA grips are very comfortable too. I got this reel on sale, and the Strike King Contra braided line came with it free so for that reason it was a great deal.
I like the reel, and look forward to using it as soon as I can.

Great reel

This is a well designed reel at an affordable price. I also have the equivalent spinning reel which is equally well constructed. Looking forward to many years with these reels.

Lews KVD lfs LH baitcasting reel

Spooled with 20 lb PowerPro braided line, casts really far! Internal brake with 2 pins off and 2 on; external braking knob set 8-7.5 works really well. A very smooth reel. The 8.3:1 is super fast; using it for crankbaits and other reaction baits. Suggest a lower gear ratio for all other purposes other than cranking or flipping.

Nice looking reel

Really nice looking/feeling reel. Needed to replace a bad Daiwa Tatula reel. I’ve always had good luck with Lew’s reels.

Only odd thing...the pin that normally screws to the side plate, merely fits into a socket...doesn’t screw into the side plate. Hope I don’t knock it a lose the side plate. Poor design
