With an expansive lineup of rods to cover your bases from lighter finesse tactics all the way to flipping and medium sized swimbaits, the Lew's Custom Lite Baitcasting Rods give the angler a high-performance tool to dominate the water with. At the core of this rod series sits its HM85 graphite blank, a physically lightweight option that has great sensitivity to detect the lightest of bites and deflections off structure. Its full contact reel seat has direct blank contact, aiding in every way to keep its blank sensitivity in the control of the angler. Winn Dri-Tac Pro Weave split grips with EVA butt and foregrip are not only comfortable but offer a secure grip even with wet or slimy hands. Durable stainless-steel guides with titanium oxide inserts line the length of each rod, providing smooth casting distance yet deflect the common bumps and scrapes going in and out of the car, boat rod lockers, and more. For the angler looking for a great, well balanced option built upon technique specific actions and tapers, the Custom Lite Baitcasting rods are the one to reach for.
