Lew’s roots run deep in American fishing history, dating back to the 1950s. The legendary brand is responsible for several industry “firsts”, including the low-profile baitcast reel design, disengaging levelwind and “palming” sidecover … all incorporated into the famous Speed Spool. Lew’s was a pioneer in rod development too, with its Speed Stick introducing new features in handles, blanks and rod guides. Since new ownership in 2009, the company has quickly returned to being a market leader in innovation. With an all-new lineup of rods, reels, combos and accessories, the company continues to honor Lew’s original vision around product innovation and excellence, and the ongoing commitment for Lighter, Faster and Stronger.

Due to its success, manufacturing operations were then moved to Fargo.
