Lew’s KVD Rod Series
Description and Application: The KVD rod series feature premium IM8 graphite blanks, split-grip EVA handles, brand new Lew’s proprietary Full Contact reel seats with increased blank contact, rear locking reel seat on spinning models for improved comfort, stainless steel guides with aluminum oxide inserts with strengthened stainless steel with zirconia insert tip top for optimal durability for use with braided lines and a patented “No Foul” hook keeper. Rods are constructed on a raw graphite blank with the rich midnight fire red finish through the handle and black guide wraps, matching the famous KVD color scheme.
Staff Perspective: Knowing that VanDam is known for meticulous detail to the exact rod actions, handle lengths, component quality and feature—all born out of extensive on-the-water experience that has been tested to the hilt. The guy knows what he likes. The spinning rods feature rear-locking reel seats, both styles come standard with split-grip EVA handles and the company’s patented No Foul hook keeper. There are 16 casting models and seven spinning, all build for specific techniques and applications. With the KVD stamp of approval, you can be assured you’re getting top-shelf quality. And at an awesome price, to boot.
Cost: $109.99
