FunkJishing Posted February 3, 2015 Posted February 3, 2015 Are lews american hero rods any good? I'm looking to pair it with a speed spool reel. Quote
FunkJishing Posted February 3, 2015 Author Posted February 3, 2015 american hero speed stick to be exact. Quote
dtbrake Posted February 3, 2015 Posted February 3, 2015 Also looking at these. Lews is just a few blocks away maybe i should pop in and say hello. Quote
Dyerbassman Posted February 3, 2015 Posted February 3, 2015 I was just looking at those last night and wondering the same thing. Reviews that I found seem positive, but I'd love hear here from someone here. Quote
SDbassin Posted February 3, 2015 Posted February 3, 2015 I don't have one, but have heard good things about them. I love the fact that Lew's supports our troops with something like this, wish more companies did the same! Quote
Dyerbassman Posted February 3, 2015 Posted February 3, 2015 I see they have a combo with this series too. Wonder how the reels are... Quote
Super User Senko lover Posted February 3, 2015 Super User Posted February 3, 2015 I don't have one, but have heard good things about them. I love the fact that Lew's supports our troops with something like this, wish more companies did the same! *** should do that with their Combat frog. That would be cool. 1 Quote
Blues19 Posted February 4, 2015 Posted February 4, 2015 I was at a small tackleshop looking at the rods and these are some of the ones they carry. The 7'6" Heavy rod has a guide really close to the handle, makes it look like it wouldnt be good for flipping, but I am thinking its more for big Swimbaits. That rod is a bit heavy, but since its made for baits up to 6 oz I can understand the reasoning. I am thinking about getting one if I decide to get one of the Spro BRZ Rats. Quote
EricDkk Posted February 5, 2015 Posted February 5, 2015 I had one (combo), and returned it to store. Rod is Ok, Reel is not good. Quote
Pz3 Posted February 5, 2015 Posted February 5, 2015 I have a Laser combo which has an IM6 rod similare to the hero. Rod seems fairly good. No hook keeper though or I havent found it yet at least lol. The American hero looks to be exactly the same only a different name and has a hook keeper as well. Quote
ChrisWi Posted February 5, 2015 Posted February 5, 2015 My buddy has one, pretty light, balances great with a Lews SsiH, not the most sensitive, but for an IM6 blank it's not too shabby. Quote
