Lew’s Custom Inshore Speed Spin Spinning Reel

The Lew’s Custom Inshore Speed Spin Spinning Reel is a saltwater-capable, inshore-focused spinning reel engineered for anglers who need durability, corrosion resistance, smooth performance, and strong drag power in challenging coastal environments. Built to handle harsh saltwater conditions, this reel combines a rugged aluminum construction with precision internal components designed for reliability and long-term performance.

At its core, the Custom Inshore Speed Spin features a strong aluminum frame and sideplate, designed to eliminate flex under pressure while maintaining a solid, rigid feel during fights with powerful inshore species. This rigid body construction ensures consistent gear alignment and improved cranking efficiency when targeting hard-fighting fish.

The reel is equipped with a C60 carbon skeletal rotor, which significantly reduces rotational weight while maintaining strength. This design improves balance, increases sensitivity, and allows smoother startup rotation—especially important when working fast-moving coastal species.

Inside, the reel uses a premium stainless steel bearing system (7 bearings total) that delivers smooth, reliable operation in both freshwater and saltwater conditions. The inclusion of a Zero Reverse one-way clutch bearing ensures instant anti-reverse engagement for strong hooksets and precise fish control.

One of the key highlights of the Custom Inshore Speed Spin is its sealed carbon drag system, engineered to provide smooth startup resistance and consistent pressure under heavy loads. This drag system is designed to handle strong saltwater species while maintaining finesse control when needed.

The reel also features precision-cut brass Hamai CNC gears, delivering strong cranking power, smooth gear engagement, and long-lasting durability even under repeated exposure to salt and sand. Combined with Lew’s Speed Lube system, the reel maintains smooth performance in a wide range of environmental conditions.

Additional corrosion-resistant and inshore-focused features include:

• Aluminum frame with drain and flush port
• Double-anodized braid-ready aluminum spool
• Stainless steel main shaft
• Aluminum bail wire
• S-curve oscillation system for improved line lay
• Machined aluminum handle
• Winn Dri-Tac grip knob for wet-condition control
