This is a great reel for bass or whatever else you are after in freshwater, plus it is durable and strong enough for saltwater fishing! This reel has a carbon drag system that maxes out at 22 lbs. of force and a spool capacity of up to 160 yards of 16 lb. monofilament. This combined with the 5.3:1 gear ratio and 5+1 ball bearing system gives you an incredibly smooth reel that is fantastic for landing some big fish! Oh yeah, and even with all this power, the reel only weighs 7.5 oz, so it won't wear you out during a long day of casting!!

The Mach II by Lew's is a great reel for anyone who enjoys fishing local creeks, ponds, streams or lakes.

The drag maxes out around 11 lbs. and the bearings and gears are super smooth for reliable casting and retrieving.
