I was handed a Lew's lefty low pro recently. as I was doing the worm gear/pawl replacement I noticed something surprising. the clutch pawl on this reel is impressive! as a reel fixer guy I've had to replace the "clutch pawl" in many popular reels. the shimano's, trions, revos' all have a serious Achilles heel. the clutch pawl eventually goes to krap like $10 brake pads. all are GARBAGE!

this Lew's low pro seems to have the clutch pawl fixed.

I've noticed over the years that Lew's flies under the radar of reel manufactures. yet the few that have used these reels speak exceptionally high of them. the guy who handed me this reel was totally impressed with it's ability to cast a country mile and bring in everything he has got a hook into.

below is few pics of this clutch pawl. if ALL reel manufacturers used this design I think everybody would be super happy.

thought it was totally post worthy.







this was a seriously used reel. yet the clutch pawl shows zero wear.

hope this was useful.
