Quick take

A left-hand 7.5:1 super low-profile baitcaster with magnetic cast control, graphite frame, and 10 bearings for smooth operation.

The Lew's Mach 2 SLP is a left-hand baitcasting reel with a 7.5:1 gear ratio, so it picks up about 30 inches of line per handle turn. Its compact Super Low Profile graphite frame sits comfortably in the palm for casting lures all day. An externally adjustable magnetic brake and a 15-pound max drag suit anglers stepping up to baitcasters for bass and similar fishing.
