LEW'S Hypermag Speed Spool SLP casting reel

Team Lew's HyperMag Speed Spool SLP, a high-end casting reel built for performance

An ultra-refined design for demanding fishing

The Team Lew's HyperMag Speed Spool SLP is designed for anglers who want a casting reel that is lightweight, responsive, and reliable. Its construction is based on a one-piece magnesium frame combined with C45 carbon side plates, resulting in a rigid, precise, and comfortable setup for long sessions.

Designed to maximize responsiveness while maintaining excellent mechanical integrity, this model stands out for its build quality and the integration of premium components aimed at optimizing casts, retrieval, and fish control.

Smooth and fast mechanics for intensive use

A high-end drivetrain for greater efficiency

The HyperMag Speed Spool SLP features anodized aluminum Speed Gears machined on Hamai CNC machines. This design ensures fast, smooth, and precise retrieval while maintaining excellent long-term durability.

Its high gear ratio makes it a particularly well-suited reel for techniques that require quickly re-establishing contact, chaining retrieves, or efficiently covering water that needs to be fished rapidly.

Smooth and consistent rotation

The system relies on a premium set of 11 bearings, including double-shielded stainless steel ball bearings and a Zero Reverse one-way clutch bearing. The assembly delivers excellent smoothness, a precise feel during retrieval, and a crisp anti-reverse for better fish control.

Precise and versatile casting control

An externally adjustable centrifugal brake

The externally adjustable SpeedCast centrifugal brake system makes it easy to adapt the reel's behavior to the lure used, wind conditions, or the technique being practiced. Thanks to its multiple adjustment positions, it offers a high level of customization for greater comfort and casting consistency.

The 32 mm U-shaped spool in aeronautical-grade anodized Duralumin also contributes to line-release quality. It promotes clean and efficient casts across a wide variety of rigs.

Fine-tuned tension and drag control

The anodized aluminum spool tension knob features an audible click for more precise adjustments. The curved star drag, also in anodized aluminum, likewise incorporates an audible adjustment click that improves feel during tuning.

The carbon fiber drag system delivers a maximum power of 10 kg, allowing you to maintain control against hard-fighting fish or in situations where a significant power reserve is required.

A reel designed for comfort and useful details

Ergonomics, grip, and practical features

The 95 mm carbon curved handle, combined with the Winn Dri-Tac grips, provides an excellent grip and very good comfort in use, even when conditions become wet or when retrieves follow one another in quick succession.

The zirconium line guide with titanium coating promotes smooth line flow and contributes to the overall durability of the reel. The reel also integrates practical features highly appreciated on the water, such as the patented Speed Dial line indicator, the Speed Keeper hook-keeper system, and an external lubrication port for easy maintenance.
