New HyperMag Shallow Spool spinning reel features a 7.0:1 high-speed gear ratio, shallow braid-ready spool, magnesium frame, C40 Carbon Skeletal Rotor, AccuGear™ drive gear and 11-bearing system for serious anglers who demand speed, castability and control.

 Lew’s®, a leading name in performance fishing gear, announces the launch of Lew’s HyperMag Shallow Spool 300 spinning reel, a lightweight, high-speed spinning reel engineered for rapid-fire casting, immediate slack line pickup and long, smooth casts with light braided line.

Built for anglers who need speed, precision and durability, the HyperMag Shallow Spool 300, also known as the HyperMag SS, features a 7.0:1 high-speed gear ratio that delivers quick retrieves and fast line pickup when working finesse techniques, covering water efficiently or staying connected to fast-moving fish. Its shallow spool design reduces line waste and eliminates the need for backing when fishing light braided line, helping anglers achieve smoother line lay, improved castability and longer casts.

“The HyperMag Shallow Spool 300 was designed for anglers who want a spinning reel that feels light, fast, and incredibly responsive,” said Al Keller, Lew’s Marketing Manager. “From the high-speed gear ratio to the braid-ready shallow spool and magnesium construction, every detail is engineered to help anglers cast more efficiently and fish longer with less fatigue.”

Engineered for Speed, Castability and Control

At the center of the Lew’s HyperMag SS is a lightweight magnesium frame and side plate, providing exceptional rigidity to keep internal components in precise alignment. This construction helps maintain smooth performance over time while reducing overall reel weight for improved balance and comfort.

The reel also features a C40 Carbon Skeletal Rotor, designed to increase strength while reducing weight. The result is a balanced, fatigue-reducing spinning reel that performs through long days on the water.

For smooth retrieval and long-term gear life, the HyperMag SS is built with Lew’s AccuGear™ precision-machined aluminum drive gear. This gear system is engineered to deliver refined performance, dependable strength and consistent smoothness cast after cast.

The aluminum braid-ready shallow spool allows braided line to be tied directly to the spool without slipping, removing the need for backing and reducing excess line waste. This makes the HyperMag Shallow Spool 300 an ideal spinning reel for anglers using light braid in finesse, bass, walleye and multi-species applications.

Lew’s EvenLay™ slow oscillation system helps lay line evenly across the spool, reducing line twist and supporting longer, smoother casts. Combined with the one-piece bail wire, the system helps prevent tangles and promotes a seamless casting experience.

Lew’s HyperMag Shallow Spool 300 spinning reel is designed for dependable performance in demanding fishing environments. The ClutchGuard™ protection system helps prevent water intrusion into the clutch mechanism, while the Zero Reverse® one-way clutch bearing delivers instant hook-setting power with no backplay.

A hybrid carbon drag system provides strong, smooth drag pressure for controlling hard-fighting fish, and the premium 11-bearing system ensures fluid, reliable operation throughout every retrieve.
