Lew's
Lew Childre's quest for a better bamboo fishing pole took him from the heart of bass fishing country in Alabama, all the way to Japan. Eventually, his quest led to the introduction of the Lew's Speed Stick pistol-grip graphite fishing rods in 1970, and the first low-profile "teardrop-shaped" casting reel soon after, the Lew's Speed Spool baitcaster, a design that forever changed bass fishing.
