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.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eComponent Breakdown\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e85 Million Modulus Graphite Blank — Multi-Layered\u003c\/strong\u003e — 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\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTitanium Oxide Guide Inserts\u003c\/strong\u003e — 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\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLew’s SoftTouch Skeletal Reel Seat\u003c\/strong\u003e — 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\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWinn Advanced Polymer Split Grips\u003c\/strong\u003e — 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\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003e8–17 lb | 1\/4–5\/8 oz — What It’s Built For\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eJerkbaits \u0026amp;
