CUSTOM PLUS SUPERGRIP SPEED STICK SERIES

Lew’s has adopted golfing technology by including full-length Winn Dri-Tac grip handles on this new series of bass rods. As with putters, the grips are flat on the top to prevent the rod from turning or torqueing in your hand, while the large diameter promises to keep your hand comfortable all day. The six technique-specific, one-piece baitcasting rods are built around lightweight and sensitive HM60 graphite blanks. Fore! I mean, fish on! Learn more:
