Lew’s BB1 Pro Baitcast Reel

Experience championship-level performance with the third-generation Lew’s BB1 Pro baitcasting reel. Designed for maximum casting distance and precision, this reel features a lightweight one-piece aluminum frame and graphite sideplates, delivering a solid yet featherweight feel (~6.7 oz). The braid‑ready 35 mm anodized aluminum U‑shaped spool paired with the externally adjustable QuietCast 6‑pin / 27‑position centrifugal brake system ensures backlash-free casts in a variety of conditions.

Elite angler features include Speed Gears® precision-cut pinion gears, dual-stage titanium-coated zirconia line guide for reduced friction and streamlined casting, plus a premium 10 sealed stainless steel bearing system with Zero‑Reverse clutch for buttery-smooth retrieves and rock-solid hooksets. A carbon fiber drag with Drag-Out Alarm delivers up to 20 lb of stopping power, while custom paddle grips on a bowed 95 mm aluminum handle offer superior comfort and control.

Available in three right-hand gear ratios—6.2:1, 7.5:1, and 8.3:1, this reel adapts to any style from deep cranking and power techniques to fast-turn scenarios like frog or swimbait fishing
