Lew’s Laser SG1 Spinning Rod 7' Ultralight

Lew’s Laser SG1 Spinning Rod 7' Ultralight

The Lew’s Laser SG1 7-foot ultralight spinning rod pairs an IM6 graphite blank with a light-power presentation suited to small freshwater offerings. It’s a rod to consider for trout, crappie, and panfish when your bait or lure falls within its printed ratings.

Stainless steel guides with aluminum oxide inserts guide the line during casts and retrieves. Lew’s skeletal reel seat provides a place to secure your spinning reel while keeping the grip area open around the blank.

Setup and Use

Pair the rod with a spinning reel that balances comfortably in your hand. Choose line and lures within the ratings printed on the rod, counting the complete rig weight, including hooks, sinkers, floats, and bait. Ultralight power is not a substitute for checking those limits.

For live bait or small soft plastics, begin with gentle casts that let the rod load rather than snapping the tip sharply. Watch the line and rod tip for changes as the presentation settles. Keep enough contact to detect a bite without dragging the rig out of position.

Set the reel’s drag below the breaking strength of your line and knots. Maintain steady pressure during a fight, avoid extreme rod angles, and use a landing net rather than lifting a fish with the rod.

Care and Storage

Wipe the blank and guides clean after use and let the rod dry before storage. Inspect guide inserts for cracks or rough spots and check the line for abrasion. Protect the tip during transport, avoid striking the blank against hard surfaces, and never use the rod to pull a snag free.
