Wow! Lew's has always had great products and has for years now . I own several Lew's speed sticks from back in the 70's or 80's and they are just as good today as they were years ago. I no longer bass fish but I will hang on to them for the Grandkids and Great Grandkids as they may want to bass fish one day. Good to know Lew's has a great customer service.
