Key to the extreme light weight of the Tournament Lite is the wildly popular LFS one-piece aluminum frame with C45 carbon side plates, paired with an aircraft-grade double anodized Duralumin 34mm spool. The reel weighs in for the fight at only 5.3 oz. This is a critical benefit for all-day fishing, particularly in heavier applications. Engineered specifically for the challenges of serious fishing, the Tournament Lite LFS boasts Lews hard aluminum alloy Speed Gears, which were cut on high quality Hamai CNC gear hobbling machines, and the battle tested P2 Super Pinion bearing supported pinion gear. This smart engineering ensures precise alignment, an exceptionally smooth operation and, critical for top-level equipment, extended gear life. When anglers invest in the highest quality reels, they demand dependability and consistency. Lews meets these demands with the Tournament Lite LFS.
