Don't have the full details but looks like Lew's has been, at least in part, bought by a mid market equity firm.

That is a good idea, I have a handful of them and really like them.

Man I love those rods!!!!.....in the spinning  and baitcasting, they just feel good in my hands and gives me confidence. ....really  not sure how to explain it but they are really nice IMO.....followed very closely by my second fave the Falcon Cara finesse jig rods, I also have an addiction to those

We need to start a co-op rod and reel manufacturing label and sell out here in a few years so we can all retire and fish all day.

They are giving away too much product.  Everyone they should be selling to... they are "sponsoring".

I cant even count the number of time i have heard someone tell me that their buddy is sponsored by Lews. Free T-shirt with the purchase of a reel doesn't mean they sponsor you

Whaaaaaaaaaat? I thought that meant you could add them to your jersey. And if you got a hoodie, too, they get prime positioning on said jersey.

I didn't get a free T-shirt or nothing when i bought my Lew's rod and reel combo.
