A new Lews Smash 3000 blew up on me earlier this year while bringing in a large Skip Jack. Within a week my Lews American Hero camo did the same thing. Popping , grinding. I ordered a Kastking Royale 3000 and have had zero problems. In a world of fishing gear snobs , I really wanted Lews to work for me.
Nice video! I just picked this combo up at Scheels today for $69.99. I think this makes three Lew’s spinning combos for me. They’re great for the money!
Have to admit im probably gonna be buying cheap hook keepers for my lews cause i agree havin it down there drives me nuts when trying to carry 3 or so.
I'm on my second one, the first one the rod broke 1.5 ft from the tip when casting. Hopefully the second one i got is better. Other than that they work excellent.
So i bought this model in the baitcaster. I was reccomended getting the spinning reel instead days later. Not sure which one i should choose. Havent used either yet
Try them both and see which one fits your needs/ fishing conditions better. The spinning reel will be easier to use at first, and the baitcaster will be a little more versatile with more tourqe.
I actually just bought the BaitCaster version with the 6'10" Rod and love it. I fish mainly a 5" Senko with it. I have always liked Spinning combos and thought about adding this one to it. just trying to decide what lures i would actually throw with this tho. what is the biggest line that one would be acceptable on it? i am running 17LB line on the mach Smash Bait Caster and has been a great combo for 2 weeks. landed a 5lb+ Bass just yesterday on it! great review.
I just bought one and the guides on the rod are all bent upwards towards the pole more than usual. The person at the store said the other rods are similar. The guides are glued in such a way that causes me to believe that it’s supposed to be that way (in other words they cannot be bent down). So, is this normal for these rods?..Are the rod guides on your poles bent in the same way?
The guides on a spinning rod normally will have about a 5 degree forward angle (give or take a little angle). If yours has a slight forward bend, that's normal. Hope this helps.
That would depend on what you're fishing for with it. If you're finesse fishing for bass I'd go 8lb. fluorocarbon. Maybe 10lb. if you're fishing heavier cover, etc.

I agree, can't beat the quality and price! Thanks for watching!
I just bought one today but I'm going to use it for catfish. Looks great and it feels great as well. Very nice review 😃👍
I think you'll be really happy with it. Thanks for watching!

I personally wouldn't go any higher than 12 lb. test line on it. Glad you enjoyed the video!
I got a medium heavy Lews Mach smash spinning combo. Will it be good for salmon/steelhead.
I've never used them for those species, so I'm not sure about that. It can handle some big bass, though!
Would the 6’6 version be good too
I've not seen that one but if it's built like this one yes, I believe it would be.

Looks like a great combo what's the price on it thanks
It runs about $99.95 on Amazon: amzn.to/3C7Ufcx
So what line would you recommend for it?
That would depend on what you're fishing for with it. If you're finesse fishing for bass I'd go 8lb. fluorocarbon. Maybe 10lb. if you're fishing heavier cover, etc.
Is the rod collapsible or do I have to fit a 7 foot stick in my car?
It is one piece.
@@BlueLineFishingthank you
I got mine in the mail, my reel seat is not in line perfectly with the line guides. is that normal?
I would say that's possibly a manufacturer defect.
@@BlueLineFishing thank you
Anyone run 20lb
