Acquired Lew's Float Rod

[MCTFisher9120]

Hey guys, I had somebody bring some older stream tackle by the store a few weeks back and one rod I was shown was a very good condition Lew's stream rod. I got the rod for cheap but knew that Lew's made rod's many years ago and just now were brought back into the fishing industry with new reels so far.

 

Anyway I wanted to share some pictures of the rod, who know's if I'll ever use it Here is the info I know, I have been searching all over the net and can't find a value or picture of a similar rod. Hope to get some info on when it was made etc..

 

Lew's "SG" Graphite Speed Stick"

SGN-2116ST

11'6" Noodle Action

Made in Korea

1/16oz-3/8oz

Put together it feels light and fairly crisp. Guessing it's from the 80's or 90's. Really not sure. Hope to hear some info on this one.

 

Tightlines guys,

LMAO I dont think you would use a rod weighted for 2 to 6 pound Lew, a little lite for muskies

They were out in the late 80s and early 90s, and were distributed by Normark in Oshawa, i did have 2 blanks that I built, one 12fter, and one 11 1/2 fter, bought the blanks for 25.00 each, there was a 13fter that is still sought after to this day, the factory guides looked like fuji hardaloys from the pic, definately not as desirable as a custom built 13ft Lews, but if you got it for a decent price your ahead of the game, if you get LEW to autograph it, the value will go up 10 fold. LOL
