Lew's Tournament Pro HP Spinning Reel
(For the tournament angler)

The Tournament Pro HP spinning reel has the “triple threat” when it comes to the performance expected of a spinning reel: improved casting distance, improved drag performance and less line twist. The reel has a lightweight carbon C40 high strength body with sealed body engineering that helps reduce the overall weight of the reel, but also keeps it sealed and usable through all fishing conditions.

Lew's BB2 Inshore Speed Spool Baitcaster
(For the shallow saltwater angler)

Like its freshwater BB2 cousin, the Inshore wide-model baitcast reel holds more line; it has a line capacity of up to 190 yards of 14-pound test. The reel makes for longer casts, plus handles the runs of powerful reds. The reel’s placement of an oversized silver titanium-coated line guide farther away from the spool minimizes line friction and adds to casting distance.

St. Croix LegendXtreme Rods
(For the bass/tournament angler)

Some of the greatest minds in the fishing industry have devoted their energies to designing the St. Croix LegendXtreme. Boatloads of energy – to use a technical term. Quite frankly that’s what it takes to put together a series of 31 insanely sensitive models handcrafted using high-modulus/high-strain SC graphite with a carbon-matte scrim and reinforced with super-high-modulus SC graphite for added weight reduction. The TET (Taper Enhancement Technology) blank design improves sensitivity.

St. Croix LegendXtreme Inshore Rods
(For the shallow saltwater angler)

Few people know this coming in, but fishing gets you off the hook, so to speak, for all manner of things. Behavior that otherwise might land you in discussions with a trained mental health professional is perfectly normal. Staring glassy-eyed at these LegendXtreme Inshore rods, for example. Hyper-performance rods for intense inshore fishing, and loaded with proprietary technologies on high-modulus graphite blanks and fitted with cutting edge components, these are the rods you go to when you’re genuinely loony about fishing.

Penn Battle II Spinning Reel
(For the saltwater and freshwater angler)

The PENN Battle II offers attractive cosmetics, durable design, and silky smooth HT-100 drag as just a few of the many reasons why so many anglers fish this reel. The Full Metal Body construction allows it to maintain precision gear alignment under severe punishment. No backing is needed because of the rubber gasket that keeps superlines from slipping. One of the best values on the market at its price point.
