I bought mine on Ebay and there are several sellers that have the BB1 and the BB2 and you can make an offer to buy. My seller accepted my offer. I only use left handed reels and am glad that the BB2 comes in left but the BB1 does not. I own the Lexa 300 also. It is a heavier and more bulky reel than the BB2. The BB2 is a much smoother reel. Both the Lews BB2 and the Lexa 300 carry 190 yrds of 14 lb.mono The BB2 is almost 3 ounces lighter than the Lexa. Last edited by buddha; 03-27-2015 at 06:17 PM. |

3oz lighter! Yeah! That's my next reel purchase! I have my lexa on a shins no inshore terimar mh and he balance is awesome on it. What are you going to have the bb2 rod on?

The lexa 300 is 10.5 oz. with the standard handle and 11.3 oz. with the power handle. I have a few rods I am thinking of using. I have this lamiglas rod which I love for the bay and also for crankbaits and spinnerbaits haven't used it for calicos yet but might give it a try. I have the 7'9 rod. http://www.lamiglas.com/?page_id=1577 I also just bought this rod and am waiting for it to come in the mail. It is a Okuma Shadow Stalker in 7'0 MH. http://www.okumafishing.com/product/...shadow-stalker Both of these setups should be fine for freshwater , bay or calico.

Lews is top notch and they have great customer service. One of the guys in the service dept. has roots from north county and really takes care of us when or if you ever need anything. I have the bb2 and is better than any other reel in this price range. All my lews reels hold up great in the saltwater environment when properly cleaned after each use. I will no longer buy any other reel as I feel lews has the best bang for your buck and hold up with proper care. I think you will be stoked on your purchase, I know I am!
I have mine matched with 8'6" Terez waxwing Mh and it is balanced nicely, it casts a mile, but looking for a rod that is less top heavy as this reel is so light, the options are unlimited as the bb2 is a very versatile reel... Last edited by Maxfli123; 03-28-2015 at 12:23 AM. |

I have the tourney mg older reel, tourney pro, super duty, and now team lite lfs a few spinning reels including their newest line up. I have sold to my buddies a few tourney pros as they never want to give them back after using them. I have converted some hardcore shimano guys after a few casts. The new team lite is my go to for just about everything. It is light smooth casts great and has held up to my weekend adventures. I have it paired with dx 744 and it is a sick combo...so freaken lite it's hard to believe its not magnesium, time will tell how the new frame holds up.
I use the bb2 for throwing a-rig, irons, swimbaits, I have only caught calico, barracuda, halibut with it nothing huge, but with my previous experience with other lews reels I have no fear the drag and gears can handle it. Some wish it had more drag but a little secret is you can get a drag washer part 49 I believe and it will add a few extra pounds of drag if you need. Lews for life |

Is it US made reel? Haven't heard much here, but a friend on the east coast uses quite a lot.
