A budget-friendly bass rod series on IM6 graphite made for recreational anglers who want functional performance at a low price point. Covers standard bass presentations, light finesse spinning, medium baitcasting, and medium-heavy casting, without specialty technique optimization. Sold as an entry point into the Lew's lineup. One spinning and three casting models. IM6 graphite blanks, a moderate-modulus material that trades some sensitivity for cost reduction and durability.

Black-coated stainless steel guide frames with aluminum oxide inserts. Lew's proprietary lightweight graphite skeletal reel seat. Cork split-grip handles with EVA butt section. Fast action on all models. The series spans spinning and casting in a single SKU family, which is somewhat unusual but keeps the product count manageable for retailers. Build quality described by users as solid for the approximately $40 price point. Four models: LSG166LS-2 (6'6" L spinning, 4-8lb, 1/32-1/4 oz), LSG166MF-2 (6'6" MH casting, 6-12lb, 1/8-1/2 oz), LSG170MFC-2 (7' MH casting, 4-12lb, 1/8-1/2 oz), LSG170MHF-2 (7' MH casting, 12-25lb, 1/4-7/8 oz).

All spinning, all 2-piece. The spinning model is the only light-line finesse option; the three casting models cover light-medium to medium-heavy baitcasting, with the heavy-line 170MHF suited to larger lures and braided line applications.

A closer look at notable models.

LSG166LS-2 Spinning · 6'6" · L · F action

Only spinning model in the series. Light power with 1/32 oz minimum lure weight makes it the finesse option for drop shots and micro-jigs. Sits at the lightest end of the series; pairing it with a light-spool reel is important to reach the lower lure weight range.

LSG170MHF-2 Casting · 7' · MH · F action

Heaviest model. 12-25lb line class and 7/8 oz ceiling handles swimbaits, heavy spinnerbaits, and topwater frogs. Significant step up from the other casting models in this series and the most capable for heavy cover work.
