From the mind of professional angler Andy Montgomery and the engineering team at Lew's comes the new Team Lew's Pro SP Skipping and Pitching reel.
The super shallow spool holds 40 yards of 20-pound-test Fluorocarbon for faster spool start up and reduced deep spool backlashes. The innovative Knot Slot recesses the spool knot so you have smooth, even line lay. The externally adjustable QuietCast ACB system included a special "Skipping Zone" to maximize distance and reduce backlash when skipping a bait under a dock. The result is a reel that has all the performance of a Lew's reel, finely tuned for skipping and pitching. According to Montgomery, "This reel lets me skip a bait further and with less backlash than ever before".

I have purchased several of these reels since they became available last year. I have used one for trolling bottom bouncers for walleye in a rocky canyon reservoir, and found it to be useful for this purpose due to its ability to clear backlashes quickly so I can get back to fishing.
I have several other casting reels, but am not very good with them; the fear of backlashing takes the fun out of using casting tackle. So I am hoping that this reel will solve that problem. It is still the middle of winter, so I cannot test these reels for casting until warmer weather arrives - thus the reason for only 4 stars. I bought the reel this winter due to the great sale price from American Legacy.
I probably will never flip or pitch with this reel, as there are NO fishable docks or overhanging trees where I fish (Idaho/Nevada area).
These reels are great for pitchin and flippin. I haven’t been in a dock or over hanging brush scenario yet, but I feel confident in the performance of these reels when it comes to skipping. Highly recommend. American Legacy Fishing is a top notch reaource for fishing…. Keep up the good work and thanks!
I already owned a couple of these Lew's Pro SP SLP Reels and excited to have added a few more to my arsenal!
Addresses the problem many bass fisherman have using a bait caster when attempting to skip a lure/jig under docks or into trees or bushes that are either in the water or have branches hanging into the water. has a special section On the centrifugal brake system for skipping and 8:3 to 1 gear ratio to pickup line fast and 33 inches per handle turn.
