The Bob Lewis Story


Bob Lewis started his company in 1975 in his garage in Torrance, California. With a Bridgeport Mill, a Chucker, and three drill presses, Bob got his big break with supplier approval from AirResearch. He then moved Bob Lewis Machine Company into its own 5,000-square-foot building in 1980 and began to build his company into a modern manufacturing powerhouse.

October 2015

Joe Uribe Jr. won the Rayovac FLW Series Western Division event on Clear Lake with a three-day total of 15 bass weighing 66 pounds, 10 ounces. For his victory, Uribe earned $28,851 and a new Ranger Z518C with a 200-horsepower Evinrude or Mercury outboard motor. The win also clinched the FLW Series Western Division Strike King Angler of the Year (AOY) title for Joe. After winning the first tournament of the year on Lake Havasu in February, Joe backed it up with a sixth-place finish on the California Delta in May. In just three tournaments, the man known by many competitors as “Little Joe” racked up more than $160,000 in earnings, including two new boats.

“I am on cloud nine right now,” said Joe. “…to get the win by just one ounce, wow! I am absolutely blessed – God is good,” Joe will now begin preparations for the Rayovac FLW Series Championship, held in just two weeks on the Ohio River in Paducah, Kentucky. Bob Lewis Machine Company is very proud to sponsor Joe and we’re proud of his accomplishments so far this year. We wish him the best of luck in Kentucky.

Joe Uribe Jr. Wins FLW Lake Havasu Rayovac Series!

February 2015

Joe Uribe Jr. won the first-place trophy in the FLW Lake Havasu Rayovac Western Bass-Fishing Series held at Lake Havasu, Arizona, February 5-7, 2015. Bob Lewis Machine Company has sponsored Joe since 2010, and he often finishes near the top in these super-competitive events held all over the western United States. "This is one of my biggest accomplishments," says Joe of his latest victory in the Lake Havasu event. His total catch over three days was more than 67 pounds of bass – including a mammoth 26-07 stringer on the final day – blowing away his nearest competition by nearly 15 pounds. Joe turned pro back in 2003 and won the Western Outdoor News event that year.

Speaking about his Havasu victory, Joe explains: “This year, the fish were definitely in pre-spawn mode. They were moving up in waves and I could tell in the areas I was fishing, they were replenishing. The largemouth were waiting in the shallow grass beds. They were all super healthy fish." Everyone at Bob Lewis Machine Company is proud of Joe's latest accomplishment, and we wish him the best of luck in his upcoming competitions.
