Skipping is the cast where the lure skims across the water's surface to slide up under overhanging cover such as bushes or jetties. Pitching is a controlled underhand delivery into gaps in weed, reeds or other tight spots. Both techniques are widely used in largemouth bass fishing, but they also offer \u003cstrong\u003eenormous potential for our native predators\u003c\/strong\u003e. Because they are still relatively uncommon in Europe, this \u003cstrong\u003especialist baitcaster\u003c\/strong\u003e gives you a genuine edge. Lew's engineers developed the \u003cem\u003eTeam Lew's Pro SP SLP\u003c\/em\u003e in collaboration with Andy Montgomery, an American bass pro who is well known for his skipping skills.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eOne of the key features of this baitcaster is its \u003cstrong\u003esuper-shallow Duralumin spool with a dedicated Knot Slot\u003c\/strong\u003e. The shallow spool design means \u003cstrong\u003efaster spool spin-up and reduced risk of backlash\u003c\/strong\u003e. Line capacity is not critical here anyway, since both techniques are played out at close range. \u003cspan style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"\u003eThe Knot Slot is a recess machined into the spool that hides the line knot away completely\u003c\/span\u003e, so it never interferes with the line and ensures a \u003cstrong\u003eperfect line lay\u003c\/strong\u003e even at reduced line capacity. It also prevents the line from snagging on the knot during the cast, which would otherwise have a serious impact on your accuracy and distance.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe second standout feature is the \u003cem\u003eQuiet Cast ACB System\u003c\/em\u003e, an \u003cstrong\u003eexternally adjustable centrifugal brake\u003c\/strong\u003e with a \u003cstrong\u003ededicated Skipping Zone that increases casting distance while significantly reducing the risk of backlash\u003c\/strong\u003e. Beginners will find it far easier to learn skipping, while experienced anglers can reach cover they would never have attempted before. Fishing in cover demands pinpoint accuracy, and any fish you hook needs to be pulled clear of the danger zone as fast as possible. Both requirements call for rapid line recovery, and the \u003cstrong\u003e8.3:1 gear ratio delivering 84 cm of line per turn\u003c\/strong\u003e delivers exactly that. You can wind your lure back from one hotspot and fire it into the next in no time at all - and you'll have that fish out of the snags before it knows what's happening. The \u003cstrong\u003ecarbon disc drag with 9 kg of drag pressure\u003c\/strong\u003e backs all of this up.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe \u003cem\u003eLew's Team Lew's Pro SP SLP\u003c\/em\u003e is a baitcaster whose full potential is not immediately obvious. It has been refined for two techniques that are still underused in Europe - and that makes every spot you reach with it even less pressured. Fish where others don't even cast.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eLew's Quality Throughout\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eBeyond its skipping and pitching credentials, the \u003cem\u003eTeam Lew's Pro SP SLP\u003c\/em\u003e carries the \u003cstrong\u003ebuild quality\u003c\/strong\u003e you expect from Lew's across the board. \u003cstrong\u003e8+1 ball bearings deliver a silky-smooth retrieve\u003c\/strong\u003e, and the \u003cstrong\u003eone-piece aluminium frame provides excellent rigidity\u003c\/strong\u003e. The \u003cem\u003ehard-anodised Speed Gear\u003c\/em\u003e, precision-forged on Hamai CNC machines from aluminium alloy, works together with the \u003cem\u003eP2 Super Pinion bearing-supported Pinion Gear\u003c\/em\u003e for long-term performance and durability. To keep everything running smoothly over time, the internals are treated with \u003cem\u003eSpeed Lube\u003c\/em\u003e, and an external Lube Port lets you top up the lubrication whenever needed.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe 95 mm bent, anodised aluminium handle with EVA knobs sits comfortably in the hand and transfers power efficiently. A neat finishing touch is the \u003cstrong\u003epatented Speed Keeper\u003c\/strong\u003e - a retractable hook holder built into the reel body that keeps your hook secured without scratching the reel or the rod.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eBFS Capability Too\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eAlthough the \u003cem\u003eLew's Team Lew's Pro SP SLP\u003c\/em\u003e was \u003cstrong\u003edesigned as a baitcaster for skipping and pitching\u003c\/strong\u003e, it quickly built a \u003cstrong\u003efollowing among BFS anglers in the USA\u003c\/strong\u003e. The reel has a rated casting weight from 4 g, but with a little practice \u003cstrong\u003eweights of 2 or 3 g can be cast\u003c\/strong\u003e with it as well.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch4\u003eSpecifications at a Glance:\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003ctable\u003e\n\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eWeight\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eCasting Weight\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eGear Ratio\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eLine Capacity\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eLine per Turn\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eMax Drag\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eBall Bearings\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e170 g\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e4-60 g\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e8.3:1\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e109 m \/ 0.28 mm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e84 cm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e9 kg\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e8+1\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\n\u003ch4\u003eFeatures:\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBaitcaster for pitching and skipping\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWeight: 170 g\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCasting weight: 4-60 g\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGear ratio: 8.3:1\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDrilled and forged, anodised 32 mm shallow-spool Duralumin spool with Knot Slot\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eExternally adjustable Quiet Cast ACB centrifugal brake with Skipping Zone\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCarbon disc drag system with 9 kg drag pressure\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e9 double-shielded stainless steel ball bearings\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eZero Reverse one-way clutch bearing\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOne-piece aluminium frame\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGraphite side plates\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHard-anodised aluminium alloy Speed Gear, precision-cut on Hamai CNC machine\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eP2 Super Pinion bearing-supported Pinion Gear\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eZirconia line guide\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBent, anodised 95 mm aluminium handle with EVA knobs\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePatented retractable Speed Keeper hook holder\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eExternal Lube Port\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSpeed Lube lubrication\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Lew's","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47424051413338,"sku":"SW34935","price":239.95,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0548\/9197\/0669\/files\/Lew-s-Team-Lew-s-Pro-SP-SLP-6.jpg?v=1759437661","url":"https:\/\/www.pikeandperch.eu\/products\/lew-s-team-lew-s-pro-sp-slp","provider":"HechtundBarsch.de","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
