The Lew's Mach Crush SLP Baitcast Combo is a high-performance fishing outfit that is built to deliver durability and precision. The baitcast reel features Lew’s exclusive SLP Super Low Profile compact Speed Spool design, which utilizes a durable graphite frame with graphite sideplates. This design allows for a lightweight and compact reel that is comfortable to use for extended periods of time.

One of the standout features of the Mach Crush combo is its premium 10-bearing system with double-shielded stainless steel bearings and ZeroReverse anti-reverse. This ensures smooth casting and retrieves, while the ZeroReverse feature prevents any backward movement when setting the hook.

The rod in the Mach Crush combo is constructed from a one-piece IM8 graphite blank that is made using Lew’s proprietary Nano technology. This technology allows for a perfect blend of strength and sensitivity, making the rod responsive to even the slightest nibbles. The rod also features American Tackle’s innovative MicroWave Air guides, which help increase casting distance and accuracy.

The handle of the rod is a Winn Dri-Tac split grip, which provides a comfortable and secure hold. This handle design is especially beneficial for long days on the water, as it helps reduce fatigue and ensures a firm grip even in wet conditions.

The Lew's Mach Crush SLP Baitcast Combo also comes with a range of additional features that enhance its performance. The baitcast reel includes a multi-setting brake (MSB) system, which allows for precise adjustment of the magnetic brake. It also features a double-anodized aluminum spool tension adjustment with an audible click, as well as a rugged carbon fiber drag system that provides up to 20 lbs. of drag power.

Other notable features of the baitcast reel include an anodized bowed aluminum 95mm handle with oversized Winn Dri-Tac handle knobs, an anodized aluminum bowed drag star with audible click adjustment, and a quick release side plate lock lever. The reel also has a zirconia line guide and an external lube port for easy maintenance.
