Q&A
The reel for those who love to just crank 'em in. The legendary BB1—the world's first low-profile baitcaster, with many ground-breaking features that have since become industry standards—is back, and better than ever. Lew's® BB1 Speed Spool® Series Low-Profile Baitcast Reel continues that long tradition of ingenuity and craftsmanship, with all the features devotees love plus a few modern innovations such as Lew's Zero-Reverse anti-reverse system and a 95 mm bowed aluminum cranking handle with custom SoftTouch contoured paddles. You'll have all the leverage you need to bring that big fish boatside! Smooth and powerful, each BB1 Series reel includes: 1 piece aluminum frame with quick-release sideplate; forged, double anodized, large-capacity machined-aluminum U-spool; strategically positioned, oversized titanium line guide; 9 double-shielded stainless steel bearings; and Zero Reverse one-way clutch bearing; Smart Plus™ Six Pin centrifugal braking; carbon composite metal drag system with 14 lbs. of drag power; audible-click spool tension knob; and an external lube port.

Great Reel!I bought this reel last spring and I've used it exclusively for saltwater fishing. I'm a shore, pier, and bulkhead fisherman, so I demand a long casting reel. Set up with 20 lb. Power Pro this reel, coupled with a 7' inshore rod, will consistently give me 60-65 yard casts. Smooth retrieves, great drag, and never a bird's nest. This reel is every bit the quality of my Shimanos, Daiwas, or Okumas. And that's saying something. Very impressed!

Awesome ReelI have Shimano Curado's and Revo SX/STX, this reel is the smoothest to reel out of all of them. I have the BB1L for cranking and it is super strong, paired with a moderate taper medium action rod, it is a dream! I have never casted further, this is my third Lew's reel and won't be my last, for moving baits; heavy or light this thing casts a mile. I only wish that Cabela's would continue to stock the BB1 in a left handed model, they seem to have discontinued carrying left handed BB1s...

AwesomeI was concerned when this reel had no outside cast adjustment. My concerns were quickly dismissed. This is the best reel I've ever casted. Lews is my new go to. Couldn't be happier.

Favorite ReelAfter owning the Revo SX, several Carbonlites, and Several Pro Qualifiers, and the Lews Tournament MB, this is by far my favorite reel. I have it paired with a 7ft Medium Heavy Abu Garcia Veritas with 40lb Power Pro Braid. This setup is very balanced. At first I was worried because this model doesn't have a magnetic braking system, after using it, I see that it doesn't need one.
This is a smooth reel that throws any bait with ease. You wont be disappointed with this reel.
What exactly is a speed spool on the Lews reels, please
Asked by: cuttergrind
Speed Spool is a tagline Lew's uses to associate their low profile baitcast reels. The first low profile tear drop shape reel to come out was the Lew’s Speed Spool back in the 70s.

Does the Lew's BB1Z have anti reverse
Does it have anti-reverse or no anti-reverse whatsoever.
