Donning a new Hero Cam camo pattern, the new American Hero Camo family of reels and combos have been updated and upgraded with a new look and new features. Crafted with the American warrior in mind, Lew’s American Hero Camo tackle delivers on all fronts – from looks to performance.

The team at Lew’s has worked to fine tune actions, grips, and blank materials to create the new line of Custom Lite Rods, with a specific focus on extremely lightweight components. The lineup includes 20 casting models and eight spinning models, including two BFS style casting actions designed for fishing light line and lightweight baits, such as small swimbaits, jerkbaits, ned rigs, and shakey heads on casting tackle.

Continuing to push the limits of innovation and performance, Team Lew’s has redesigned the HyperMag baitcast reel to enhance not only function, but experience.

Take your passion for the chase one step further with the new MACH Jacked combos. MACH Jacked combos are the most premium, tournament-quality combos ever offered from MACH – available in spinning and baitcast models.

New digital tournament series, the Mach Nation Summer Smash Series, will include four events in 2023, each of which will take place over the course of a month in the summer of 2023.

Three years ago, Lew’s stepped up the baitcast game with the introduction of the legendary brand’s lightest reel, the Custom Lite. This featherweight high-performance reel has become a trusted tool for both recreational and tournament anglers.

Strike King and Lew’s Pro Dakota Ebare brought a little drama to the weigh-in stage at renowned fishery Clarks Hill Lake as he needed 15 lbs. 14 oz. to overtake Travis Harriman who turned in the biggest bag of the tournament with 23 lbs. 14 oz. When dust settled, Dakota’s 16 lbs. 7 oz. bag put him in first by 10 oz. and landed him his second win in 2023. Dakota’s first win came at Sam Rayburn Reservoir in the first Toyota Series back in January.
