The Lews Mach Speed Stick IM7 Winn Split Grip Rod in Medium Fast action is built on a lightweight IM7 graphite blank engineered with Lews' proprietary Carbon Nano Tube process. This construction delivers the sensitivity needed to detect subtle strikes while maintaining the strength required for fighting larger fish. The 81.5-inch length positions this rod in the medium-heavy category, making it versatile for both inshore and light offshore applications where casting distance and load capacity matter equally.
Multi-layered graphite construction enhances both durability and sensitivity across the entire blank. The rod features rugged stainless steel guides with aluminum oxide inserts—a proven combination for resisting saltwater corrosion while maintaining smooth line flow under load. The lightweight graphite skeletal reel seat keeps overall weight minimal, reducing fatigue during extended casting sessions. Winn's advanced polymer Dri-Tac split-grip handles provide secure purchase in wet conditions, a critical detail for anglers working from boats or wading in saltwater environments where hand slippage creates safety and performance risks.
This rod suits weekend fishermen targeting bass, pike, and walleye as well as anglers pursuing inshore saltwater species where medium-fast action provides the balance between sensitivity and backbone. The Fast action tip responds quickly to bait strikes while the stiffer mid-section handles the work of setting hooks and fighting fish. At 0.36 pounds, the rod's light weight makes it accessible for all-day fishing without the shoulder fatigue that heavier alternatives introduce.
Medium-fast action rods occupy a practical middle ground in the market. They lack the pure sensitivity of ultra-light rigs but outperform them in load capacity and hook-setting efficiency. For anglers seeking a single rod that handles various techniques—from live bait to artificial lures—the Medium Fast power delivers the versatility that justifies the investment.
