Lew's Team Lew's HyperMag

The Team Lew's HyperMag - Revised and Refined

The original HyperMag earned a strong following as an exceptionally popular baitcaster, winning over a large number of anglers with its combination of outstanding performance and remarkably low weight. The Lew's Team Lew's HyperMag is the second generation of this high-end reel from the Lew's range - fully revised and equipped with the latest technology and a number of innovative features. This baitcaster delivers superb performance, a silky-smooth retrieve and excellent casting, all in a body that tips the scales at just 147 g. That is 6 g less than its predecessor, yet it remains every bit as capable, handling casting weights from 4 to 90 g.

Low-Profile Frame with Outstanding Ergonomics

The Lew's Team Lew's HyperMag features a redesigned and upgraded magnesium frame. Combined with the C40 carbon side plates, the result is a body with excellent ergonomics. The reel has an extremely low-profile design that sits flush against the rod grip and feels natural in the hand. That exceptional feel makes it a pleasure to fish for extended sessions. It is also an eye-catching piece of kit, with clean lines and a striking silver finish.

Smooth, Powerful Internals Built to Last

Despite its weight, the Lew's Team Lew's HyperMag offers a surprisingly high level of strength and durability. It is fitted with a Speed Gears drivetrain machined from hardened, anodised aluminium and a P2 Super Pinion gear, together delivering a smooth yet powerful retrieve with long-term reliability. Supporting that performance are the 10+1 Stainless Steel Double Shielded ball bearings.

Impressive Casting Performance and Quick Line Attachment

Casting performance is another strong point of the Lew's Team Lew's HyperMag. The finely adjustable 4-Pin Speed Adjustable Centrifugal braking system features an external dial on the side plate. Used in conjunction with the spool brake, this allows for very precise tuning - light lures from 4 g cast cleanly, and long distances are well within reach. Contributing to this is the drilled, bevelled U-shape spool machined from double-anodised aerospace-grade duralumin. The spool is also equipped with the Speed Knot line attachment system, which clamps the line rather than tying it. This makes spooling up faster and easier, and eliminates the uneven bump that a knot would create in the line lay.

Further Features

The Lew's Team Lew's HyperMag carries over the same bent 95 mm handle from its predecessor but comes with different knobs - extra-slim JDM-Style Winn Knobs that complement the modern look and contribute to the weight reduction. Two further features carry over from the previous model: the Speed Keeper and the Speed Dial. The Speed Keeper is a fold-out lure holder built into the frame, allowing you to secure your lure safely and conveniently during transport while protecting both the reel and the blank from scratches. The Speed Dial is a small dial on the handle side of the reel where you can record which line strength and line type is currently spooled up - a handy memory function that means you always know exactly what is on the reel.
