Lews SG1 rods

[Astro180]

I have been looking at different rods, specifically a 7'-7'6" medium heavy and heavy and keep coming across the Lews SG1 priced at $49.99. Has anyone actually held or used one of these? I have been by the local store to put my hands on one, but they never seem to have it in stock (no shock really). I have intentions to make a trip to BPS, cabelas, or Watson's at some point before i buy. Just curios if any of you guys have or have used them...any pros and cons?

Full disclosure---our rep agency works with Fitzgerald Fishing. Had to make a change for those of you who know us.  

That being said, I think Lew's puts out a good product. I use Lew's reels, as well as Fitzgerald reels.   Hard to find a rod for $50 that performs well. Hope this one suits your needs and if it does you should buy it as that's a good price.

While you're over to Watson's take a look at Fitzgerald Rods.  See what you think of the Versa series, the gray rods. Retail is higher than the Lew's you're looking at but for $129 it's a very good rod. if you decide to purchase one of the Fitzgerald Rods, send me a message or text 606-434-9146 and I'll get a hat out to you.

But if that Lew's rod works for you then that's the one I would buy. i'll be at the 3 day annual Watson's show with Fitzgerald, stop by and say hello and Merry Christmas.
