Lew’s® is Red-Hot with the All-New Speed Spool® RX 200 HyperSpeed® Feel the Difference
June 23, 2026
Hold on tight, Lew’s® is introducing the Speed Spool® RX 200 HyperSpeed® and the result is nothing short of a revolution on the water, a completely redesigned reel built for the fastest retrieves on the water.
The Speed Spool RX 200 HyperSpeed is engineered for avid freshwater and tournament anglers who need high-speed line retrieval, precision braking, and dependable performance in variable conditions. It is ideal for techniques that demand fast presentations — including topwater fishing, burning spinnerbaits, and covering water quickly to locate fish.
At the heart of the reel is the innovative ParaMag® RX magnetic braking system, an advanced engineering solution designed to provide anglers with superior cast control while reducing backlash and making every cast more consistent and confident.
Key features include:
- Speed — The 9.5:1 gear ratio and 40-inch RPT make the Speed Spool RX 200 HyperSpeed one of the fastest baitcast reels on the market, ideal for high-velocity presentations that trigger reaction strikes.
- Smoothness — An 8-bearing system featuring double-shielded stainless steel ball bearings maintains peak efficiency and lasting smoothness throughout the life of the reel.
- Strength — One-piece aluminum frame with hard-anodized aluminum precision-cut Speed Gears®, and P2 Super Pinion® for precise gear alignment for exceptional durability and high-strength retrieve cast after cast.
- Control — The carbon fiber drag system delivers robust stopping power to manage hard-fighting fish, giving anglers the confidence to push their gear to the limit.
Additional performance-driven features include Zero Reverse® one-way clutch for instant hook-setting, patented Speed Keeper® hook keeper, the Knot Slot spool feature enables seamless line-to-spool attachment, and a 95mm bowed aluminum handle for comfortable operation throughout the day.
The redesigned Speed Spool RX HyperSpeed carries Lew’s tradition of high-performance reels at a competitive price point. Visit the Rather Outdoors booth #5620 or On the Water event at ICAST 2026 to see it in action. Availability coming soon through authorized Lew’s dealers.
