Lew’s Speed Spool Baitcast Combo 7' MH Left Hand

Lew’s Speed Spool Baitcast Combo 7' Medium Heavy Left Hand

The Lew’s Speed Spool Baitcast Combo pairs a 7-foot, medium-heavy, fast-action HM30 graphite rod with a left-hand-retrieve baitcasting reel. The 7.5:1 gear ratio and 31-inch line recovery per handle turn help pick up slack between presentations and recover line when a fish moves toward you.

The reel’s externally adjustable Magnetic Control System lets you tune braking for the cast, while a 10-bearing system supports the retrieve. High-strength brass Speed Gears and a drag system rated to 15 pounds round out the reel’s documented specifications.

Setup and Casting

Choose line and complete lure weights within the rod’s printed ratings, and follow the reel’s capacity markings when spooling. Jigs, spinnerbaits, Texas rigs, and other moving baits are options when the finished rig fits those limits.

Start with a conservative magnetic brake setting and adjust spool tension according to Lew’s instructions. Make short casts while feathering the spool with your thumb, stopping it as the lure lands. Reduce braking gradually as control improves, and recheck your settings when changing lure weight or casting into the wind.

Use the reel’s line pickup to recover slack, but set the drag for your line, knots, and fishing conditions rather than automatically using the 15-pound maximum. Maintain steady pressure during a fight without cranking against a slipping drag.

Care and Storage

Wipe the rod and reel clean after use and let both dry. Check the guides, line, and reel seat before fishing. Keep grit away from the spool and braking components, avoid submerging the reel or using high-pressure spray, and follow Lew’s lubrication and servicing instructions. Protect the rod tip during transport and use a net to land fish.
