7'2" Casting. HM60 Premium Graphite Blank. G Clutch™ Handle with Midas Touch™ Technology. Fuji Concept O Guides. Split Grip EVA with Duracork Inlays. Line: 15-30 lb | Lure: 1/2-1 1/4 oz.

The Lew’s Custom Speed Stick 7’2" Casting Crankbait Rod is purpose-built for crankbait fishing — the 7’2" length gives you the extended reach and parabolic bend needed for long casts with diving crankbaits, the HM60 premium graphite blank provides the fast recovery and light weight you need for a full day of cranking, and the G Clutch™ Handle System with Midas Touch™ technology puts the blank directly in contact with your palm for maximum sensitivity and vibration transmission through the entire retrieve. 15-30 lb line rating and 1/2–1 1/4 oz lure rating covers the full range of medium-diving and deep-diving crankbaits.

Key Technologies

• G Clutch™ Handle System with Midas Touch™ Technology — Lew’s proprietary handle system that creates direct physical contact between your palm and the HM60 graphite blank through the handle; traditional cork and EVA grips create a barrier between the angler and the blank that dampens vibration transmission; the Midas Touch™ eliminates that barrier so the rod’s sensitivity is transferred directly to your hand — you feel every tick, thump, and contact the crankbait makes on structure, rocks, and bottom in real time through the handle, not just through the line and reel
• HM60 Premium Graphite Blank — high-modulus HM60 graphite for a blank that is simultaneously lighter, more sensitive, and more powerful than standard graphite blanks; the higher modulus rating means the graphite fibers are more tightly wound, producing a blank that returns to straight faster after a bend (faster recovery = better hook sets and more accurate casting) and transmits vibration more efficiently from tip to handle
• Fuji Concept O Guides — Fuji’s Concept O guide design positions the guide ring below the guide foot, lowering the line’s center of gravity closer to the blank; this reduces rod vibration during the cast and retrieve, increases sensitivity, and improves casting distance by keeping the line tighter to the blank throughout the cast; a meaningful upgrade over standard Fuji guides on a crankbait rod where guide efficiency directly impacts long-cast performance
• Split Grip EVA Handles with Duracork Inlays — split grip design reduces overall rod weight by removing grip material from the mid-section; duracork inlays provide the sensitivity and natural feel of traditional cork with better durability and resistance to wear and sweat degradation; the combination gives you a premium grip feel without the weight penalty of a full cork or full EVA handle
• Stainless Steel Corrosion-Resistant Hook Keeps — stainless steel hook keeper resists saltwater and freshwater corrosion; keeps your crankbait’s trebles secured during transport without rusting or staining the rod blank

Why 7’2" for Crankbaits

Length is one of the most important rod specifications for crankbait fishing. A 7’2" rod gives you the extra lever arm for longer casts that get diving crankbaits to their maximum depth on a full-length retrieve, the softer parabolic bend needed to keep fish pinned on treble hooks through head shakes and jumps (a stiff rod pops the hooks; a longer rod with a moderate action absorbs the head shake), and the sweep room for a powerful hookset that still compresses into the blank rather than tearing the bait from the fish’s mouth.
