Lee’s Tackle, Inc. is a family owned & operated business that began in 1920 when Edward J. Lee opened a retail fishing tackle store in Miami, FL. In the mid 1930s, fueled by his love of fishing, creativity & zest for innovation, Roswell E. Lee, Sr. began manufacturing big game fishing reels, rod holders & fighting chairs. His innovative designs revolutionized the sport fishing industry. He was the first to use aluminum tubing for the production of outriggers & he designed & patented the fishing rod Roller Top. Today, most of his designs are still state of the art.
