Overview

Crappie fishing is the stated purpose of this Lew's rod. The blank is graphite in two sections with a light power, and the finish is Crappie Thunder Green.

The reason to consider it is a light rod with a stated line range for one species. The limits are the length conflict between fields and no action rating. It is a species specific rod rather than an all purpose one.

Who it's for

A bank or boat angler who targets crappie with light tackle and wants a rod that breaks down. Bass or catfish anglers, or buyers who need a certain length, should look elsewhere.

Pros and cons

Pros
  • Stated line range
  • Two piece design
Cons
  • Length figures disagree
  • Action rating missing
  • Limited to light fish

Performance notes

Light power bends easily so small fish register well, and the line range limits how heavy a line to spool. Graphite adds sensitivity at low weight. The conflict in length figures makes casting range hard to judge.
