Reel manufacturer Lew's has added another notable angler to its expanding pro staff – two-time Bassmaster Elite Series winner Kevin Short of Arkansas.
“I’ve been using the Lew’s Tournament Pro and Tournament reels since July of last year and they have performed far beyond my expectations," he said. "The Tournament Pro has become my favorite because of its incredible light weight (6.7 ounces) and the durability that I’ve seen.
"One of the fastest ways to wear any reel down is cranking, and I have made many, many thousands of casts with the Tournament Pro since July. The only way I can tell that first Tournament Pro reel from a new one is to look for the dirt on the line guide – it’s still as smooth as the first cast."
Said Lynn Reeves of Lew's: “We at Lew’s are excited to have Kevin with Team Lew’s. Kevin brings a wealth of knowledge regarding the needs of the tournament angler and also has a great grasp on where the tackle market is headed today. We feel that he will be an asset in promoting the Lew’s brand and that Lew’s Speed Spool and Speed Spin reels will help him perform at the upper level of the Bassmaster Elite Series.”
