Best Tournament: Lews HyperMag Pros Very lightweight yet powerful 20 pounds of max drag Easily palmed Cons Only one speed in left-hand retrieve Key Features Left- and right-hand retrieves 7.5: 1 and 8.3:1 gear ratios (7.5:1 only in right-hand retrieve) 5.2 ounces 10 stainless steel bearings plus one roller bearing The HyperMag looks like a futuristic rocket and lives up to that aesthetic
