Overview
The Berkley CWD2-562LS is a 5 foot 6 inch, two piece spinning rod built from composite material with a light power rating, weighing about 0.2 pounds. Berkley lists it for trout, bass or perch.
As a 2-piece rod, it breaks down for easier transport and storage compared with a one-piece blank, while the light power rating suits smaller fish rather than heavy cover work. The composite build blends fiberglass and graphite traits, which typically favors durability over the lightest possible feel.
- 5'6" length, 2-piece
- Light power rating
- Composite material
- About 0.2 lbs
Who it's for
Anglers targeting trout, bass or perch with light spinning tackle, especially those who want a packable 2-piece rod for travel. Not for anyone needing heavy power for big baits or fishing thick cover.
Pros and cons
- 2-piece design packs down for travel
- Light power suits trout, bass and perch
- Composite build for durability
- Light power isn't suited to heavy lures or big fish
- No seller description confirming exact line and lure weight ranges
Performance notes
At 5 foot 6 inches with a light power rating, this rod is built for finesse presentations and smaller to mid-size fish rather than heavy lures. The 2-piece composite blank trades a small amount of sensitivity for the convenience of breaking down into two shorter sections for transport.
