Lew's really made a big impact in the fishing industry when it made the first Speed Spool decades ago. Then it did it again when it rereleased the brand and a new line of reels last year under the direction of Lynn Reeves. Now it's again pushing the envelop with extensions of their great lineup of reels and focusing on affordable price points.
The new Tourament MG reels feature large spools and strong handles for cranking power that anglers were demanding.
They also released a new Laser baitcaster and Laser Spinning reel that feature price points of $79.99 and $39.99 respectively. These reals employ composite side plates on aluminum frames and 6+1 bearings in the baitcaster. The reels are light, smooth and at a great price.
They also released a whole line of Wally Marshall Mr. Crappie rods and reels. They have everything from jigging rods, spider rigging rods, trolling rods as well as some very affordable combos for anglers. Some of the rods on display were 16 feet long. But the line of rods was extensive to say the least.
Lew's also released a new line of Laser rods that have great feel at a great price points. The Laser LG rods are IM6 graphite, come in 13 models and will feature 6 to 10 guides depending on size and length. They will retail for $59.99. The Laser SL line will feature 45 million modulous blanks, semi-micro aluminum oxide guides, 13 rod models and a price point under $100.
They are releasing a ton of new sku's this coming year and already talking about doing some of their own tooling to improve the already great performance of their reels. We like when companies are constantly trying to make stuff better, not just different.

Lew's has been my primary for a few months. Have slowly replaced ALL of my reels with Lew's products. After buying the Laser Rod, maybe my rods are next to be replaced?! :\
