Featuring a lighter, faster and stronger one-piece aluminum skeletal frame with carbon sideplates, the new Speed Spool® models lost a half-ounce in weight during the makeover to hit the scales at their new fighting weight of 6.2 ounces. The reel also incorporates two new Lew's exclusive and patent-pending innovations: the Speed Keeper, a hook keeper that retracts out of the way when not in use, and a Speed Dial line indicator to serve as a reminder as to what type and weight of line has been spooled.
