Designed by a Legend. Built to Dominate.
The Lew’s KVD Baitcasting Reel is the result of decades of competitive insight from bass fishing icon Kevin VanDam. Crafted for power, consistency, and speed, this reel is a top-tier choice for serious anglers who demand professional-grade features at an unbeatable value.
Featuring a rugged yet lightweight one-piece aluminum frame and graphite side plates, the KVD reel is built for all-day use and relentless hooksets. A 10-bearing system, including Zero Reverse® one-way clutch, delivers smooth, powerful retrieves, while the SpeedCast Adjustable Centrifugal Braking (ACB) ensures casting precision even in windy or heavy-cover situations.
Designed for versatility, this reel excels in techniques from flipping and pitching to crankbait fishing and frog work. If it’s in VanDam’s playbook, this reel can do it.
