The Custom Lite offers the perfect balance of strength and sensitivity while being one of Lew's lightest ever builds. A top-grade 85 million modulus blank with some of Lew's exclusive features makes this one of their most responsive and comfortable spinning rods. Needless to say, but this would make an elite finesse rod option.

Reviews from our Readers
Bottom Line
The Custom Lite Speed Stick spinning rod is definitely one of the more impressive rods we've come across in this price region. The rod provides incredible sensitivity and is extremely light - but also has the necessary backbone to handle bass of all sizes.
A decent variety of models give you the chance to find one specific to the technique you love most, but each rod provides versatility in their own regard. The Custom Lite combines really well with the Custom Pro Speed Spin.
