Pros

Glenn Browne

Glenn Browne has been fishing professionally since 1998 and signed with Lew’s in January 2011. He gave his Team Lew’s TL1H a good workout at the FLW Tour’s event on Lake Okeechobee where he finished in 11th place. He said, “They’re one of the best I’ve ever put in my hand. I can’t believe how far I can throw and how smooth they are. They’ve come out with a fantastic product.”

Mark Davis

Hometown: Mount Ida, AR
Birthdate: 10-11-1963

Mark Davis has been a regular on B.A.S.S. tournament leader boards ever since entering his first event with that trail in 1986. Davis is gearing up with Lew's rods and reels for the 2012 tournament season. Davis' first baitcast reels were Lew's Speed Spools given to him on his 16th birthday by his dad. Raised on spinning gear, Davis credits his introduction to Lew's baitcasters as being instrumental in his fondness for fishing deep-diving crankbaits.

David Fritts

Hometown: Lexington, NC
Birthdate: 12-29-1956

David Fritts has the most history with the Lew's brand having been a primary spokesman for the Lew's name over much of his nearly two decades of tournament fishing. Fritts helped put the Lew's BB1N Speed Spool on the map through his prowess at throwing big-lipped crankbaits a "mile" and "feeling" them all the way back to the boat.  Over a career that includes six FLW tournament wins and five BASS victories, including the 1993 Bassmaster Classic, Fritts has won more than $2 million in competitive fishing.

Tim Horton

Birthdate: 10-03-1972

Tim Horton has picked Lew's for his choice of reels and has already incorporated the all-new Lew's baitcast and spinning reels into his fishing arsenal for 2011. Horton, known for his offshore deep-cranking skills, has had 27 top 10 finishes in his 15 years along the BASS tournament trail and earned the coveted BASS Angler of the Year award in 2000. He's recorded wins in four of the events and earned more than $1.2 million along the way.

Wally Marshall

Marshall, also known as Mr. Crappie, has been a true leader and visionary for the niche sport of crappie fishing and has accumulated a number of accomplishments over the past 25 years. He has qualified for 31 crappie championships, earned an angler-of-the-year title in 2002, won the Crappie Classic in 2003 and claimed top prize at the Crappie Masters One-Pole Championship in 2010.

Mark Menendez

Terry Scroggins

Hometown: Palatka, FL
Birthdate: 11-18-1968

Scroggins has been fishing BASS tournaments since 1999, recording five wins and more than $1.2 million along the way. He says flipping is his primary strength, and that the new lightweight Lew's reels with their paddle handles are perfect for what he does best.

Kevin Short

Hometown: Mayflower, AR
Birthdate: 10-30-1961

Considered by many as a river rat and shallow crankbait specialist, Short has been a threat to win several Elite Series events since 2006 before winning in 2009 at the Mississippi River out of Fort Madison, Iowa, and again in 2010 at Lake Pickwick out of Florence, Ala.  Short says the Lew's Tournament Pro and Tournament reels have performed far beyond his expectations, the Tournament Pro becoming his favorite because of its incredible light weight (6.7 ounces) and durability.

Thliveros, known to most bass fishing fans as "Peter T," has been fishing professionally for nearly 20 years. He has seven wins along the BASS trail, plus an FLW win, contributing to his nearly $2 million in combined tournament earnings.
