Lew's Custom TLX 150 Casting Reel

The Lew's Custom TLX 150 Casting Reel combines lightweight construction, exceptional casting control, and impressive durability in an ultra-compact baitcasting reel. Engineered for anglers who demand dependable performance in both freshwater and inshore saltwater environments, the Custom TLX 150 delivers the strength, smoothness, and versatility needed to handle hard-fighting fish without weighing you down.

Built around a rigid one-piece aluminum frame with lightweight C45 carbon sideplates, the Custom TLX 150 provides a solid foundation that helps maintain precise gear alignment under pressure. Despite its durable construction and generous 150-size line capacity, the reel weighs just 5.6 ounces, making it an excellent choice for anglers who spend long days casting and retrieving.

At the heart of its casting performance is Lew's advanced ParaMag RX Magnetic Braking System, which provides precise external adjustments to help control spool speed and reduce backlashes. Whether you're making long casts across open water, targeting shallow cover, or adjusting to windy conditions, this braking system allows you to fine-tune your reel for different lures and fishing situations.

The Custom TLX 150 features precision-machined aluminum Speed Gears and Lew's P2 Super Pinion technology, providing smooth, dependable power transmission and consistent gear alignment. Its corrosion-resistant components and five-bearing system make it equally capable of handling freshwater bass fishing and demanding inshore environments.

A deep, braid-ready knurled aluminum spool provides excellent line capacity while helping prevent braided line from slipping around the spool. The spool's solid, non-ported design also helps limit water intrusion, making it particularly useful when fishing in wet or coastal conditions.

When it's time to battle a hard-pulling fish, the carbon-fiber drag system delivers up to 20 pounds of maximum drag pressure, giving anglers the confidence to fight powerful bass and inshore species. A titanium-coated two-stage line guide helps reduce line friction during casting, while the aluminum handle with hybrid EVA/cork knobs provides a comfortable, secure grip.

Additional conveniences include Lew's Speed Keeper retractable hook keeper, which allows anglers to secure their lure directly to the reel between casts, and the Zero Reverse one-way clutch bearing for immediate hook-setting response.

Whether you're throwing spinnerbaits around grass lines, pitching jigs into heavy cover, working topwater lures, or targeting redfish and speckled trout along the coast, the Lew's Custom TLX 150 Casting Reel delivers premium performance in a lightweight, compact package.
