Laser SG1 Rods

The Laser SG1 is Lew's entry-level freshwater bass rod line, built on IM6 graphite blanks and sold as a budget-conscious option for anglers seeking a matched set of technique-specific rods. It serves freshwater bass across the full range of presentations, from ultralight trout/panfish crossover up through heavy punching. Blanks are IM6 graphite. Hardware includes black-coated stainless steel guide frames with aluminum oxide rings, premium cork split grips, and Lew's exclusive skeletal reel seat.

The series sits in the price tier below the MACH 1 and Team Lew's lines. Reviews consistently describe it as a strong value at roughly $50 retail, noting adequate sensitivity and backbone for everyday freshwater use without premium-tier refinement. The 20 models split across both casting (7 rods) and spinning (13 rods). Lengths run 6'0" to 7'4"; powers span UL to H. The spinning side is notably heavier in model count, reflecting the series' strength in finesse and light-power applications.

Casting models top out at H (LSG174HC) for punching and frogging. The "-2" suffix denotes two-piece travel versions. Some models lack a stated length in the provided data (6'6" implied from standard sizing conventions).
