Overview
A two-piece graphite spinning rod from Lew's Crappie Thunder series, built at 4 feet 6 inches with light power and rated for 2 to 8 pound line, aimed at crappie fishing.
The CTS naming and Crappie Thunder Green color point to Lew's panfish-focused Crappie Thunder line, and the light power plus 2-8 lb rating matches the finesse jigs and light bait typically used for crappie. Note the listing shows two length figures, a 4-foot spec and a 4-foot 6-inch size; the size field matches the model's stated length.
- 4-foot 6-inch length
- 2-8 lb line rating
- Light power spinning rod
- Two-piece graphite construction
Who it's for
Built for crappie and panfish anglers using light jigs and small live bait rigs from a boat or dock. Not suited to anglers chasing bass or larger species that need heavier line ratings.
Pros and cons
- Light power tuned to crappie jigs and light line
- Two-piece design for easier transport
- Graphite blank keeps rod weight down
- Line rating tops out at 8 lb, not for heavier species
- Listing shows conflicting length specs worth double checking before buying
Performance notes
Graphite blanks keep the rod light in hand through a session of repeated jig casts, and the light power rating is tuned to load with small baits rather than heavier lures. The two-piece breakdown trades a small amount of sensitivity for easier transport and storage.
