The Mach 2 I just bought lol. It's the nicest one I've had so far. And my second baitcaster I bought a Quantum $60 combo and made it work for me I can't wait to see how sweet this thing's going to feel compared to that one
I have a Mach smash medium-heavy fast spinning combo that's not too bad. But I just got that mock 2 for the same price if I paid for The Mach smash crazy
I have had this combo for a couple years and I love it. The reel works fine but the rod is awesome. Light and sensitive. Agree with the review. Nice job.
I bought one of the original black and gold 1970s Lews BB1 last year. They were the best bass reels back in those days. Lew Childre had them made by the Shimano bicycle company in Japan and then Shimano later started making their own reels. Browning and Ryobi started making Lews after Shimano stopped.
@@bassofffishingtv3766 caught one about 40 minutes ago in my pond. I think I only have 3 in there now. Big flood about 2 months ago washed over the top of my dam and I lost fish. Killed a bunch of fish egg eating turtles in there today with my 22. My bream are on beds right now.
I just picked up the Lew's smash last week and it's definitely the best baitcaster I have way better then my carbon fire from 2017 so today I got the Mac 2 green 1 and it's even better then the smash.lews reels all look the same but there is a major difference in the Mac over the smash which is a beast and I'm very happy with lews
Got Lew's Moch 2 at Sportsman's Warehouse this year and looks like the same as the Lew's XFINITY from Walmart the orange with the black flame's on it and it has the same looks 🧐 and is cheeper with 8 bearings I think the mock has two less but my Lew's LZR pro reel has 10 bearing and not much difference between the two when I take them apart and looks like the same thing in side when I grease them up. Locus oil is like scooper tune up. Just thinking about the difference between I like them all because I got 8 lews combos because they're nice.
Nice video man! Definitely interested in this combo. I'm not certain, but I think if you weigh bass with the scale hook like that you should try to put it in the corner of the gill so it doesn't pull out on it like at 5:12, so like further to the left in that image. Anyways thanks again for the review and nice catches!
Awesome review buddy. And with the utmost respect, I agree with the man who commented on dragging the fish up the bank. We love this life and this sport so much we need to protect that you know what I mean? And again I mean that with the upmost respect I’m going to subscribe and share. Thanks a lot pal.
I haven’t fished one yet but it still 9 + 1 ball bearings I would think it would be close to the Mach 2 performance. The customer black start getting into upgrades like metal reel seats.
I just got the same set up for frogging but with a heavy rod and using 50lb braid. Love it but haven’t dialed it in yet. I get some nesting and have been thumbing it as well.
@@joeprice501 once you get it dialed in you will be set. Heavy action will be harder to throw a frog just because of the weight but you will get the hang of it.
Great video. I saw this at dick’s and the color really pulled me in. Not to Mention the features in the reel and rod, it’s the upgrade I want from my Lews American Hero Baitcaster. But I see it’s a right handed retrieve and I’m right handed. I see you keep switching hands but I’m afraid of getting a backlash in between the moment I switch hands over. It’s not the first time I see someone switching hands with baitcasters but is it worth it? Or should I try to find a left handed retrieve?
@@bassofffishingtv3766 my first baitcaster was right handed retrieve and I didn’t realize the handled didnt switch like spinning reels so I tried learning left handed casting but it was so weird. I couldn’t do it and reeling in with my right hand felt wrong so I returned it and got a left handed retrieve but I’m curious if I can switch or just try extra hard to find a left handed retrieve
@@FishingMaster_99 I bought one off Dick’s website. The seem to never carry variety in store as far as left or right handed retrieve goes but online, they always have the option.
What’s up what’s your guy’s favorite lews rod?
I had mine for two years, loved it for the price. Only cleaned it once in two years. $200 is my minimum now. I bought $40 then $100 then the Mach.
My favorite is the mach smash it's pretty much the same as the mach 2 but my favorite spinning combo would be the mach 2

Thanks I’m hoping to catch a lot more fish on it.
Didn’t like how you dragged the fish up the bank but that combo is fire 🔥
Sorry about the fish it wasn’t the best of practice haven’t done it since then.
@@bassofffishingtv3766 it’s okay happens to the best of us outta excitement! I ended up buying the rod and reel and love it 😂🔥

@@jamesbarron1202 I’m sorry to hear that hopefully you bass population will come back.
How do you get it not to backlash?
I have the Mach 1, and it's been my go-to rod and reel. Just got the Mach 2 going to put it to the test this 4th of July weekend.

I qanted the mac crush but they didnt have the left handed reel so i bought this one and love it
I definitely want one of those
I just created a sick spinning combo works pretty well it's a duckett Silverado with a Lew's laser stg 400 speed spin casts like a dream
Nice video man! Definitely interested in this combo.

I agree with you, it wasn’t my best move
Is the lews custom xp a good baitcaster? I was looking at the black and white one
I haven’t fished one yet but it still 9 + 1 ball bearings I would think it would be close to the Mach 2 performance. The customer black start getting into upgrades like metal reel seats.
I’m getting one Monday, never used a bait caster, but want to learn. Are these a good starter
It’s absolutely a good starting rod
I picked up one and I have been very happy with it.
I just thought that same combo for 90 bux! If they're still on sale next week I'm buying another one maybe two
There you go
Great job on the review!! I'd like to recommend some "lip" grabbers for that scale.
I have some a forgotten them that day 🤦♂️
Get the mach smash best combo by far and also what lake do u fish
Loch raven reservoir
Is there a 2 piece medium heavy 7ft casting rod?
I haven’t seen any in this model, but there are some in other casting rods
Is that rod available in 2 pieces
No it’s a one piece set up
Hey” what’s the difference between lews Mack 2 bait caster and lews Mack 2 SLP bait caster?
Super Low Profile
Nice, how much did you pay for it?
160
@@bassofffishingtv3766 that's a good price! I'm about to pick one up for right under $180.
@@znismo1 that’s still a good price
That’s a steal for 160. I got mine for 220 and would buy it again.
I’m hoping the crush goes under 200
Yeah, I like those rods. Never had microwave guides. 🤛🏽✊🏼🤙
Found mine for $160
Ihave the mach one mach two and the crush my personal opinion the two is the best
I have the smash as well
Just grabbed one at scheels for $120 🔥
Hooking them fatties! Loving the bait caster. I legit turn my brake off and use my thumb. I get a birds nest every once in a while but it’s worth it😄
Hopefully you can show me that trick soon 🎣

ik this is a older comment but they do make that reel in left hand or you can get the rod by its self and put your own reel on it, thats what i did

$180 for this rod?
*Me with a $20 spinner* 👁️👄👁️
I hope one day lews sells in Australia 😢
I really would have thought it did
Mine was 120
Excellent
Let’s fish flip on the ground. Weighs fish by the gill flap. 😂 You’ll learn how to do it properly some day.
I definitely didn’t make the best decision
How do you do it correctly then?
Nice bass but come on man really dragged it all the way up the bank then release it by throwing it
