9:47 that is exactly how I hold my rod and reel. Most people I know hold it different but it’s definitely the best way for me.
Just got my Mach Crush combo 199.00 is a steal! Great rod and reel casts like a dream. Love the new color design!
Just got mine today. I've been watching the online vendors for it to be in stock finally got it! Picked up a LH Baitcaster combo
Excellent! Glad you got your hands on one as well. Seemed like we waited forever!
Just got mine yesterday I can't wait to catch my first one of 2021 Let's go!
so ready for warmer weather!
What's the best price for bait caster combo
@@Gokywildcats11 i think about 200
I'm 39 years old and I love that fishing stuff is coming in fun colors like green and orange.
hehe, same here!!
I was a Shimano guy too BID. I’ve slowly upgraded my rod/reel arsenal with Lew’s baitcasting reels. I have 2 Tournament Pros 8:3:1. The Hyperspeed 9:5:1. Just ordered the Mach Crush 7:5:1 yesterday. St. Croix & Dobyns rods. I was thinking about heavy action Dobyns Sierra for my new Mach Crush. Excited about the Winn Grips too. Sorry so long a comment! Greetings YakAnglers! #Missouri
I've been a fan of Lew's for 3 years now... love em
yeah, I'm digging them. Had these combos out a couple of times now and really like them. Fishin vids with them coming soon.
New to bass and kayak fishing! Looking forward to learning more on your channel!!
Awesome, welcome aboard!! Lots of reviews and lesson coming, followed by tons of fishing when it warms up!
Hell yeah love the new look and changes that they made!! I’m like you. I just love all Lew’s everything!! That’s all I throw since I have gotten back into it as well!! I’ve been back 2 years now and I love every minute of it I get to get out!
So glad I found your channel, great content and information in the video’s!!
Right on! Can't wait for warmer days!
Just picked up my Mach crush today, grabbed a Mach 2 a while back and love it, high expectations for the crush!
Went out and bought one of these spinners yesterday after watching the video. Thanks for the recommendation. Can't wait to get it out on the water!
fished for 3 hours last night, only bite was on a crankbait I was throwing on this spinning rod
Just got mine 2hrs ago. Can’t wait to try it tomorrow.
Excellent, have a great time!
Hey thank you I've been looking for real information on what bait caster to buy I was going to buy a googan rod and try to find a reel but I think you just helped me figure it out I'm in central Illinois thanks for your help
I've got 3 Googan Gold and 2 Googan Green, going to be putting them head to head against these.
Just bought the Lew's Mach Crush spinning combo for $171 after discounts at Academy Sports!! So excited to try it out!!
very nice!
Just picked up this awesome Baitcaster combo, along with the TeamLews Custom Black spinning reel combo. Super stoked to add these reels to my arsenal!
You will have to let me know how you like that custom black spinning combo! I have the baitcast combo and watching for the spinning to go on sale
The twisted tea bass maid me laugh so hard
Hehe
These are badass brother!
yeah, I love the color scheme
The handle on the new mach crush spinning rod Is comfy. But the reel is a little loose with the new grip design. I have tried tightening it down all the way but the reel is still a little loose. Other than that it is a nice rod design.
yeah, sometimes new style isn't always better
Thanks for posting this. I threw these reels on Savage Gear Squad rods, the camo & orange look killer together.
that had to look pretty bad ass
Glad I found this channel.
welcome aboard! Still killin time until it warms up, can't wait for warmer days!
@@FishINwithGRAMPS mannnnn. Your telling me. Me and my 2 boys are dying to get out on the water.
The Mach crush is good it’s one of my favorite rods I own but I think it’s little brother the Mach smash is my favorite I use it not often but I love it
great combos for the price
Ok you convinced me. I’m going to check one out
I love my Team Lew's Custom Black and Mach 2 SLP combos, can't wait to get these strung up and on the water!
Buying one of these soon, so excited to get into baitcasting
I enjoy my Lew’s. I have the tournament mp. The spool pushes to the handle side when I press the clutch down. I can keep tightening one click but pushing the clutch puts play in the spool it’s weird. Other than that I like it
Lews do make good value for money tackle. An observation being from the England we don’t really get why the majority of right handed people don’t cast with their right hand and reel in with their left in America.
agreed. why not save your best hand for the rod and let your left be the workhorse, since the rod is what needs power and control.
Heh, they didn't have "other hand" reels in the 70s when I started
@@FishINwithGRAMPS I didn’t know that also started fishing in 70s but in England I was mainly coarse fishing then with what you all spin style reels I think. The Pike fishing which was my introduction to predator fishing leading later to bait casting in the 90s was done with a large fixed spool reel (spin). So Im Guessing by the time I tool up bait casting with lures there was no problem with obtaining LH reels. Still funny how when they started making these reels as you say in the 60s the majority of designers over looked the obvious.
Heh, it's hard telling. I start with a cane pole on a creek bank.
I just got mine. Excited to get out and break it in, also from Indy
Sweet!
The only time I’ve ever used a baitcaster is dropping one straight down in the ocean for snapper, and even given people shit for using them(only good buddies of course), but as my casting accuracy has gotten really good the past couple months I think I may pick up a Lewis crush baitcaster
Update, bought one this morning took it out, got a topwater bite, and absolutely love it/baitcasters in general
@@appalachiashellfighter2269 that is awesome!!
Hey Gramps, I got one of the original orange Mach Crush baitcasters. Love mine. You are from my neck of the woods, hope to meet up with you one day. Cheers!
Awesome, where ya at?
@@FishINwithGRAMPS Bartholomew CO, but grew up in Bedford.
I have the older crush versions, Mach smash , Mach II and PRO TI
I have to get this newer crush too.
I love the fact they aren't afraid to bring us some sweet color combos for those who don't just want black or silver, lol.
@@FishINwithGRAMPS yeah they caught my eye from watching kickinttheirbass. I just got into baitcasters this year man. My first one was the Mach II. I have 5 or 6 total Lews and a then started getting some DC Reals and pairing with St Croix and duckett. Now I’m broke. Hahaha.
Why does this guy not have more subscribers!!😭
I appreciate the kind words, we're growing an awesome community a little at a time. RUclips doesn't show my vids to a ton of people because I used to have hunting and pew pew videos on the channel.
I have the first gen Mach Crush baitcaster and spinning reel combos. Love them both. Out of the 2 new ones I would get the spinning combo. Love that rod it comes with. My only gripe with the gen 1 version baitcaster is the reel is graphite. I was so disappointed the new version is also graphite. If it was aluminum it would be added to my arsenal in a heartbeat
I hear ya, but I'm not fishing tournaments with them or fishing a hundred days a year. Graphite is fine for the weekend angler.
@@FishINwithGRAMPS I think any angler would be better served buying the Lew’s LFS combo for $150 than the Crush combo for $200 What do you gain with the LFS, an aluminum frame and the P2 pinion bearing. Both are infinitely better than the graphite frame and flashy paint job of the Crush.
can't disagree with that. I can never find them in stock anywhere. I like the Winn grips a little more myself. As far as graphite and aluminum, doesn't really matter to me. I have two Pro-Ti's, a Custom Pro and a Custom Black along withe Crush and Mach reels. All served me well last season, including the Heroes on the Water kayak tournament win. Love me some Lew's reels, from bottom of the line to the top.
following back up, the reel seems to be the only good thing in these combos, tips of rods keep breaking on a lot of people. Both of the tips of my Mach II combos broke off, but I still consider those my fault.
@@FishINwithGRAMPS I bought a couple of Lew’s ultralights and the tips snapped on both of them. When I returned them to Academy, I noticed several Lews behind the counter with broken tips. They said it was a common problem.
Awesome video! love the channel!
Thank you and welcome!
Ok should i get this one or the Mach smash baitcaster combo
I can't answer that for you, every one has different taste, budget and skill level. Get the one you like or can find on sale and go catch some fish ;)
not many rod and reels that look that good!!!!
Imma get this in 2 weeks no lie as well as another combo and reel
I would have loved to have combos like this when I was a teen. I could have caught EVERYTHING with just these two combos.
@@FishINwithGRAMPS I just got a job so imma save up to get the 2021 Mach crush bait caster and then the abu Garcia max pro spinning combo and go after them sand bass and crappie😁 imma use blade baits on the baitcaster
@@FishINwithGRAMPS man this Mach crush is way better than the older version I told myself I’m not spending a lot of money on combos but I change my mind due to ur video thanks so much man
Hey man I know I'm late but I'm trying to get in to fishing and I'm wondering if I can buy it or get it from anyways have a good day.
Don't know if you found it or not but I just saw it today at Dick's Sporting goods
Just ordered the Mach crush spinning combo. Would it be ok to put 20lb powerpro braid on it? I mostly just Texas rig with 1/8 oz bullet with up to 7.5in worms
should be a great combo set up like that.
I cant decide between 2021 mach crush and team lew’s black baitcaster. There is a price different 199.99 and 239.99. Which one do you recommend?
I have both, have to say the Team Black Custom. The reel is an aluminum frame (stronger) instead of graphite and the rod is a higher quality blank. Both are good combos, the Custom Black just a little better.
could you please try out this lews Mach crush baitcaster paired with a St Croix bass X rod I was thinking of getting that and need help deciding
you should put a smimano slx on that, the color scheme will work better
Hey thanks for the video! Quick question, what's the max weight of fish you should catch with one of these mach spinners? I plan on using 30lb braid.
I don't think I would use this for anything bigger than bass or walleye.
@@FishINwithGRAMPS Thanks for the reply. So I'm guessing around the 20lb max? Bummer. I was planning on doing a little catfishing with it as well.
@@phillippardo5712 you will definitely want a rod made for catfishing for sure. Most of the money in these combos is in the reel
Just subscribed from Fort Wayne Indiana
Excellent! Welcome!
Joshua Boley
I have a 7’3” combo, and the rod is literally shredding my line, talked to another guy who purchased his at a total different state, 7’ med/ hey, and his is doing the same thing, we both purchased them at the beginning of March 2021, Your thoughts?.
check the guides with a q-tip before you left the store?
If it tears the cotton, send or take it back, the guides are damaged
Are the Mach 2 and Mach crush reels the same internally? Having trouble finding much info on them. The lews descriptions are pretty generic.
I think the Mach 2 are based on the Lew's LFS reel and the Crush based on the KVD LFS. I could be wrong but that's what I think.
@@FishINwithGRAMPS Thanks! I love the cool colors as well, hard for me to decide between the green and orange, maybe I’ll get both combos and swap the reels 😂. I have a Mach 2 rod and it’s probably my favorite that I own right now, was my first graphite/carbon rod.
@@JackOusley The rod on the Crush combo is a little higher quality, being IM7 instead of IM6.
be sure to hit American Legacy if showing for those, my discount code should still save you some $$$
Just picked up the bait caster combo for $85. Super deal.
how
@@smajerboy25 It was discounted 60% at a local tackle shop.
@@elizaz8486 nice
I’m thinking about getting the Lews Mach Crush baitcaster combo. Is it still worth it? It’s probably the best $200 combo what do you think?
If you're buying a combo, I think this is a pretty good value. The rods are better than the ones that came with the Mach 2 and lower end combos. Not sure if you are looking for right or left hand, but there is one Left hand combo left at American Legacy Fishing. FWG15 discount code still works on it.
I would also look in the Shimano SLX XT combo for under $200, you have a LOT more rod styles to choose from. Here is a round up of the Shimano SLX reels if you're open to checking them out. ruclips.net/video/Q7Z3QzPifcY/видео.html
Should I get the lews mech crush spinning combo or the lews custom black spinning combo?
I didn't get the black but loved the Crush
i just picked up a custom black combo, only difference really is the custom black is 9+1 vs the mach crush’s 10+1 bearings, tbh just get whatever color you like best, orange or black your choice
Have you been able to figure out how to open the reel cap to clean the spool? For the baitcaster
ruclips.net/video/iKB2LH5gavk/видео.html
@@FishINwithGRAMPS I watched this video but didn’t see the 2021 Mach crush and there isn’t an “open” button on the casting reel
Love the Vid!
Thanks!
Man dude you got to watch that bass behind you he may just slam you with the twisted tea
Hehe, you're right, better not turn my back on him!
I have these new model ones and I gatta say I prefer the older models of the spinning reels and the whole bait caster set up idk just me
What’s the best test line to use for the spinning combo for Mach crush 2?
"best" is subjective, but I'd say 12 would cover for a whole lot
Probably 10-15 pound braid
I've been using spinning reels all my life. Never really knew about baitcasters. I just bought a Johnny rod and shimano curado 200 and my girl bought me the mach crush. Man what a frustrating learning curve. Not how I pictured in my mind. Very hard not to throw it and pick up my spinning reel
Understand the frustration, I need to do a baitcaster 101 video
I feel your pain. I just started fishing a few weeks ago with an Ugly Stick spinner combo, then bought the Walmart Ozark Trails baitcaster a week later. I watched a ton of videos about tuning it. I'm pretty good with it after a couple of weeks of playing with it. Meaning, I get a small bird's nest every 10-15 casts, lol. #1 don't use light bait/lures. You can, but it's a bit tougher to cast without backlashing it. It can be done, but starting out, don't. #2 don't throw hard when you're casting. A light cast will get you where you need to go. #3 don't over load the spool. Good luck!
I know folks who fished their whole lives with spinning rod and to this day fish bass tournaments with then. Do what works best for you
@@WastedTalent- i also use an ugly stick spinner. Love that thing. Has never let me down. I'll continue to attempt using the baitcasters but my expectations are definitely lower. At the end of the day I believe you can catch a trophy bass with $50 worth or tackle but I'm human and buy into this expensive shit hoping I'll land my PB lol
@@WastedTalent- thanks for the tips. That was definitely my problems. Using soft baits and casting it hard like a spinning reel. I've always thrown it with everything I got. I'm just now realizing you don't need to do that with baitcasters. I took that thing out without watching any videos and I gave up in about 5 minutes lol
Where can I buy one at? They are no where online
I found these at Dick's Sporting Goods
Does this pole come apart for travel?
No, it's a one piece.
I'm so upset I can't get these in Australia 😭
Oh wow, really?
@FishinWithGRAMPS yeah 😭 if they did I think I'd have 1 of everything 😍
I think the 1st gen mach crush looked better anyone else? gunna go buy a 1st gen instead of the 2nd gen
Edit: I own a lews mach 2 2nd gen and got it for the color everyone once in a while well no more like every time i use it i call it my 'googan rod' I never used a googan bait other than a bandito bug but the color just makes me say it weird
heh, i got these only because my yak is black/orange and hardly ever use them. If anyone ask, I tell them to take that money and buy a better rod and less expensive reel. In this combo, the reel is the more expensive of the two.
@@FishINwithGRAMPS I own a mach 2 and its my 2nd baitcaster as my first was a kastking sparctus plus but the mach 2 blew my mind with how good it felt. would u buy another mach crush or what would u buy thats below 150 and better
Probably the Shamano SLX combo on sale at American Legacy Fishing Company
Your voice is smooth
lol, don't know about all that, but I do have fun making vids
I like catching pike more than bass
Awesome, everyone has their favorite!
@@FishINwithGRAMPS to be honest I like catching fish period I'm kinda like you I got back into it last summer. I'm gunning for a big one this summer
Be sure to keep us posted!
✌🏻
How much is it
You'd have to hit up American Legacy Fishing and punch in the discount code, this video was from last year I think
$200 at Dick's
