Lew’s HyperMag Magnesium Spinning Reel

The Lew’s HyperMag Magnesium Spinning Reel is a flagship high-performance spinning reel engineered for anglers who demand extreme lightweight construction, refined smoothness, and tournament-level performance. Designed for competitive bass fishing and advanced finesse applications, the HyperMag combines premium magnesium construction, precision engineering, and high-end internal components to create one of the lightest and most refined spinning reels in Lew’s lineup.

At the core of the HyperMag is a lightweight magnesium frame and sideplate, designed to provide exceptional rigidity while drastically reducing overall reel weight. Lew’s also incorporates a magnesium skeletal rotor, minimizing rotational mass for improved startup smoothness, enhanced sensitivity, and effortless balance during retrieves. This lightweight design significantly reduces fatigue during long tournament days and repeated casting sessions.

Internally, the reel features a premium 11-bearing system with double-shielded stainless steel bearings that deliver exceptionally smooth retrieve performance and refined gear operation. Lew’s also includes its Zero Reverse one-way clutch bearing, providing instant anti-reverse engagement for solid hooksets and improved fish control.

One of the standout features of the HyperMag is its proprietary forged main gear, engineered for enhanced durability, cranking power, and long-term smoothness under heavy use. Combined with Lew’s proprietary Speed Lube treatment, the reel maintains consistent smoothness and dependable operation across varying fishing conditions.

The reel utilizes a sealed carbon multi-disc drag system designed to deliver smooth startup inertia and consistent drag pressure during aggressive fish runs. This drag system provides refined control for finesse applications while maintaining enough stopping power for larger bass and hard-fighting freshwater species.

The HyperMag features a high-speed 6.2:1 gear ratio, providing rapid line pickup and responsive lure control. This fast retrieve speed makes the reel especially effective for soft plastics, jerkbaits, ned rigs, drop shots, finesse swimbaits, shakey heads, and other techniques requiring quick slack-line recovery and precise presentations.
