Built on Lew's new and exclusive SLP Super Low Profile platform, making it compact, powerful and loaded. It is Lew's lowest profile design ever, weighs only 5.7 ounces, sits super low in the reel seat and provides unmatched balance. The corrosion-resistant materials make this reel a good option for crossing over into some light inshore fishing as well, and this reel has the guts for it. The main gear and crankshaft are aircraft grade aluminum.
