Love this reel! KVD has built a perfect finesse reel here and it's quickly become one of the favorite reels for fishing drop shot.

Bottom Line

The KVD is a newer model by Lew's and like its casting reel counterpart, it's already a hit on the shelves. Lew's has combined their years of experience to build a strong, smooth, and affordable spinning reel that'll last you years. It hasn't got many reviews yet, but from what we've seen so far - everyone loves it.

Although known for his power fishing prowess, KVD is still a finesse fishing master and he designed this reel specifically for these techniques.
