I bought the 7ft mh/f version about two years ago. Very well-balanced and super light rod. One thing that blew me away was how sensitive the rod was and for only $150. Sensitivity feels the same, if not, close to my shimano zodias. Even on slack braided line, I was able to detect small nibles. The only negative thing I can say about the rod is that it’s very stiff, too stiff for some applications. The rod is mostly muscle and has little give at the tip. It is not a light lure friendly-rod, therefore anything under 3/8oz, you’re gonna have a hard time casting precise spots. And because the rod is so stiff, you won’t have that bend to cast light lure, so casting distance will be short. Besides that, the lews custom speed stick is a good fun rod overall.
