Lew's KVD Elite Casting Reel

Lew's KVD Elite Casting Reel is a high-performance baitcasting reel developed for anglers who demand precise casting control and dependable operation on the water. Designed in collaboration with legendary professional angler Kevin VanDam, this reel combines advanced braking technology, durable gearing and a lightweight yet strong construction to deliver consistent performance during intensive fishing sessions.

At the heart of the reel is the PARAMAG® RX Braking System, engineered to provide precise spool control throughout the cast. This system helps reduce backlashes while maintaining excellent casting distance, allowing anglers to fish efficiently with a wide range of lures and techniques.

Smooth operation is ensured by the Premium 7 Bearing System, which features stainless steel double-shielded ball bearings designed for durability and long-lasting performance. The reel also incorporates anodized aluminum Speed Gears® together with P2 Super Pinion® technology, maintaining perfect gear alignment and delivering consistent, smooth retrieves over time.

The Zero Reverse® one-way clutch bearing eliminates handle backplay and provides immediate hook-setting power. A carbon fiber drag system delivers strong and reliable drag pressure when fighting powerful fish, ensuring confidence during demanding situations.

Built on a strong aluminum frame with lightweight graphite sideplates, the KVD Elite Casting Reel offers an ideal balance of strength and reduced weight. Additional features such as the patented Speed Keeper® bait holder, a 2-stage titanium-coated zirconia line guide, external lube port and level-wind system enhance convenience, durability and overall casting performance.
