The one Lews I have among a herd of Shimanos, Daiwas and Accurates was a Super Duty Wide Speed Spool from about 2015. It took major abuse, went in the water a few times and landed many big fish on a dozen or more Amazon trips without a whimper. This reel is definitely joining the collection, some cool features and looks a lot like the 2016 Metaniums that are still butter smooth excellent reels.
I'm usually a Shimano guy, but have some Lew's and am impressed. Gonna have to check this one out! Keep em coming buddy great videos! Easy to watch and stay interested the whole video!🎣
I have an old hypermag it has a 4pin brake sometimes that isn’t enough I always run mine towards maxed out. It’s good that the new one has a six pin brake.
Nice run down of the HyperMag! I picked up the 1st gen HyperMag at Bass Pro for $168.00 before Christmas 😁 Feels great in hand can't wait to try it out...Probablly use on one of my chatterbait/spinnerbait rods. Mine came with the reel seat tape also...didn't work, won't stay in place, I'll try electrical tape instead.
Not related to this video...but reel related regardless, I'm looking to streamline my BC reels and switch to Daiwa completely, understanding their reels can be kind of confusing. Can you do a video explaining (like a buyer's guide) what to be looking for in them? Or, can we chat on messenger or something? Based on my budget, I'm looking at the tatula line. I do have two, and they've just been awesome. Also, how much you asking for that BB1? That is one of my all time favorite reels. Thanks brother.
Merry Christmas and Happy New year to your family. That Hypermag looks sexy, wish they made in faster gearing. Spring time I hope you get a chance to get out there and try it out.
Man that’s a nice looking Reel Jim and it looks like a smooth caster. I would think for the 300 dollar price tag that Lews would go with an attached palm side plate that you wouldn’t accidentally drop in the water like a Shimano. I would like to see that in action my Friend truly. Great Video Jim. Stay safe my Friend and have a great Holiday. Semper Fidelis
I have 2 of the Hypermag spinning reels and they are really good. I would definitely get a few of the casting if they weren't double the price of the spinning....
They are a step above the Custom Pro in every way. I made the mistake of holding the new Hypermag at a local tackle shop. Now I'm considering getting one. Unless I'm missing something, it seems like the best choice compared to the Elite TI and Pro TI. It's $50 less than the Pro, $150 less than the Elite, weighs an ounce less than both and the color is a better match with almost every rod available. It's also doesn't have the same shiny finish....
@@TackleJunky81 I’m used to the tatula ct and Lews speed spool I’m not vary much on the Slx so this tatula elite will be one of my first closer to high end reels
@@TackleJunky81 and my ole lady got me a new edge rod for Christmas I’m going to pair the elite with and make it a shallow crank spinnerbait rod I got the 6:3:1
Big fan of lew's here, however, I can tell ya right now that the first gen. Lew's hypermag is the same as the new one, only difference is appearance and handle LOL.
It's better than the original, but it's nothing over a custom pro. It's the same reel as the Custom pro and even with its magnesium frame is only .2 or .3 oz lighter. I love lews but they do gimmicky crap too often. Only the elite Ti has something new, the brakes, at $500 though. The Tournament line amd the custom line are their serious reels.
Haven't been fishing yet this year, so I can't speak on performance, but that Hypermag has some big shoes to fill if it's gonna run with that Zillion...we'll see!
The problem I have is that you can buy a Daiwa Zillion for $10 less, so why would I buy a Hypermag? I have the gen 1 Hypermag & luv it but it doesn’t compare to the Zillion. If the Hypermag was $300 then maybe 🤔 but once you fish with the Zillion there’s a Zillion reasons to not pay more for a Hypermag.
I love lews but this hyper mag is a gimmick. It weighs fractionally more than a custom pro, same capacity, same bearings, same drag, same brake system....$100 more though.
Looks super duper sexy. Hey can I smell your finger after you finish spinning the reel 😂 jus joking. I got the original hypermag (which is my favorite reel), wanted to know if anything stands out on this one compared to the OG?

Agreed, but with not having to take off the side plate to adjust the brakes, I don't see any issue. Appreciate you brother! 👊

Nice real, one day I’ll get one

Going to have to be pretty nice to be better than the Pro TI.
For sure! 👊
I was going to get this but instead got a tatula elite I hope I made a good choice as I love both Lews and daiwa reels
Great choice! 👊

So after a month how do you like it? I love my Zillion but want to try something new. Does this compare at all? Or should I just get another Zillion

@@TackleJunky81 I forget not everyone lives in FL and can fish year round. Looking forward to your review of it!

Would love to see a comparison between this, the zillion, and metanium in the future that would be tits
You got it! 👊
As an individual who owned several of both, I don't own the metaniums anymore....thw zillion is just pure awesome.
Yeah!... Congrats Doyo engineering, Lews actually didn't do anything besides slapping on the brand on it

🤣 Overall, it just feels better in hand, and the new knobs are a nice touch.
Just wish you didn't have to keep oiling the brass brake pad.
I hear ya. Hope all is well buddy.
Merry Christmas to you and family 👊💪🎄
Thanks so much! Appreciate you! 👊💪
