    Holy hell

    Money talks.. and since Lews bought SK it makes sense...and Lews make damn fine equipment, so I cant blame him

    Quantum is still holding on to Hackney and Grigsby yes? Or will they go Lews since they are SK too?

    I'm a big fan of KVD but I bought one of the Tour series reels and it may be the worst $300.00 real ever made .

    You mean Lews wanted to take a chance and sponsor someone on the BPT tour. Doesnt make since according to the resident bbc experts the BPT is dead and all the anglers on it are dead.

    Isn't Strike King and Lews now owned by the same PEG? If so, that explains it.

    Good for him and I’m glad that there appears to be no hard feelings. Pretty sure someone can dig up a thread from a couple of years ago wondering if KVD will switch to Lews. Hackney had already made the switch and Andy Montgomery left Daiwa. Not sure how many other Strike King anglers will leave their rod/reel sponsor for Lews

    Pretty sure Grigsby is with Wright and McGill (he’s been sponsored by Eagle Claw as long as I can remember. I think Casey Ashley, Gerald Swindle, Jacob Powroznik are left. Rojas and Klein left years back for Duckett. Biffle still there maybe
