I own both and like my Lews tournament pro the best

Always learning, my best advice would be,find someone who fishes the waters you fish and get them to let you tag along. Start with a couple of types of lures an learn how to use them. U tube can be helpful. Always remember when shopping, lures are designed to catch fishermen.

I love my Lews bait casters and spinning reels, I have Team Lews and some are 8 years old, have not had any problems. Have 2 Lews rods, they are good but like others better, really depends on how much you want to spend.
