Lew's Custom Lite 7' Casting Rod | 85M Modulus Graphite | Titanium Oxide Guides | Winn Split Grips | 8-17 lb | 1/4-5/8 oz

7' Casting. 85 Million Modulus Graphite Blank. Titanium Oxide Guide Inserts. Lew's SoftTouch Skeletal Reel Seat. Winn Polymer Split Grips. Line: 8–17 lb | Lure: 1/4–5/8 oz.

The Lew’s Custom Lite 7’ Casting Rod is built on the same premium platform as the full Custom Lite series — top-grade 85 million modulus graphite blank, multi-layered for superior durability, with titanium oxide guide inserts, Lew’s SoftTouch skeletal reel seat, and Winn advanced polymer split grips. At 8–17 lb line and 1/4–5/8 oz lure ratings, this is the Custom Lite built for the widest range of finesse and moderate-technique casting applications — from drop shot and shaky head on a casting reel to lightweight swimbaits, jerkbaits, and topwater at the upper end of the lure weight range.

Component Breakdown

• 85 Million Modulus Graphite Blank — Multi-Layered — top-grade 85M modulus graphite for a blank that is lighter and more sensitive than lower-modulus graphite at the same length and power rating; the Custom Lite series name reflects the blank’s weight-to-performance ratio — you get the sensitivity of a premium high-modulus blank without the extra weight that fatigues your arm over a long day of casting; multi-layered construction adds structural durability and resistance to breakage under hard hooksets and big fish pressure
• Titanium Oxide Guide Inserts — smooth, low-friction line flow through the guides for longer, more accurate casts; titanium oxide (TiO) inserts are harder than standard aluminum oxide for extended wear resistance, particularly relevant when running braid or fluorocarbon under repeated high-speed casting; compatible with all line types
• Lew’s SoftTouch Skeletal Reel Seat — Lew’s exclusive skeletal design removes material from the reel seat body to reduce weight and eliminate sharp edges that fatigue fingers and palms on high-volume casting days; the edge-free design is a meaningful comfort advantage over standard full-body reel seats on a rod you’ll cast hundreds of times per session
• Winn Advanced Polymer Split Grips — Winn’s soft polymer grip material provides secure handling in wet, cold, and hot conditions where cork or EVA becomes slippery; split-grip design reduces overall rod weight and creates direct blank contact through the open mid-section for improved vibration transmission and strike detection through the handle

8–17 lb | 1/4–5/8 oz — What It’s Built For

• Jerkbaits & Topwater — 7’ casting length for accurate placement of jerkbaits along weed edges, docks, and laydowns; the 1/4–5/8 oz lure weight range covers the full spectrum of standard bass jerkbaits; 8–17 lb fluorocarbon on a casting reel for near-invisible line in clear water jerkbait conditions
• Lightweight Swimbaits — paddle tail swimbaits and soft plastic swimbaits in the 1/4–1/2 oz range on a 3/8–1/2 oz swimbait head; the 7’ length adds casting distance for covering water on swimbait presentations
• Ned Rig & Shaky Head (Casting Reel) — for anglers who prefer a baitcasting reel for finesse presentations; the 8–17 lb line range accommodates the 10–12 lb fluorocarbon used on Ned rigs and shaky heads for clean bottom contact and sensitivity
• Spinnerbaits & Bladed Jigs (Lighter) — the 1/4–5/8 oz lure range covers smaller spinnerbaits and chatterbaits for pressured water and clear water conditions where a smaller profile bait outperforms the heavier reaction bait weights
