Here at Rugged Outdoors, we’re proud to announce that we now carry the full line from Lakewood Products — aftermarket gear we’ve personally used, trusted, and admired for a long time. As we travel the U.S. with our Adventure Series promoting top-tier destinations, brands, products and the people behind them, adding Lakewood to our e-commerce site feels like a natural next step.
Why Lakewood?
Here are some of the standout facts and features that make Lakewood a perfect fit:
- Lakewood proudly manufactures 100% assembled and made in the USA, out of their factory in Suamico, Wisconsin.
- The brand’s roots go back more than 35 years — originally founded in Rhinelander, Wisconsin — combining passion for the outdoors with craftsmanship.
- Lakewood emphasizes protection, durability and smart organization: “Lifetime cases for lifelong adventures.”
- Their product range spans from ice-fishing tackle boxes to archery and firearm cases — meaning whatever your outdoor pursuit, there’s a case built with purpose.
- For example, their “Ice Rod Case” accommodates rods up to 44″ in length and is designed with customizable foam and lots of storage — made in the USA, lifetime warranty included.
How They Support Your Outdoor Life
Whether you hunt, open-water fish, ice fish, bow hunt or simply haul gear across rugged terrain, Lakewood Products deliver. Here are a few product highlights we’re especially excited about:
- Lakewood Ice Rod Case: Ideal for the ice-fisherman — stores rods/reels, built tough, built USA.
- Lakewood Lure Case: Tailored for open-water saltwater fishing — mesh top and bottom allow rinsing, built tough.
- Lakewood 46″ Double Bow Case: For the bow-hunter, top-loading drop-in design, rugged protection, built in Wisconsin.
- Lakewood Magnum Top Shelf Fishing Lure Case: Soft-sided hard-case for lure storage — perfect for serious anglers who demand organization.
- Lakewood Archery Accessory Case: Accessory case that complements their bow cases — small but engineered.
- Lakewood Saltwater Case: For serious saltwater fishers needing full lure system storage, durable build, made in USA.
These cases support real-world demands: hauling gear into the backcountry, keeping lures organized on the ice or open water, protecting bows and firearms during transport, and standing up to the rugged environments our Adventure Series visits.
A Big Endorsement
We’re especially proud to partner with longtime outdoor personality Pat Kalmerton, who has been a long-time promoter of Lakewood Products. Pat’s endorsement speaks volumes:
“I’ve been using Lakewood cases for years — they are tough, smart and built by folks who live what they make.” — Pat Kalmerton
Pat’s real-world use and trust in Lakewood aligns perfectly with our mission at Rugged Outdoors: gear that works, travels, survives — and brands that stand behind it.
