The Lew’s KVD Elite Rod Series is engineered for tournament-level performance, delivering the sensitivity, strength, and durability serious anglers demand. Designed with input from Kevin VanDam, these rods are built to excel across a wide range of technique-specific applications. Constructed on premium IM8 graphite or composite blanks, the KVD Elite series offers exceptional responsiveness with the backbone needed for powerful hooksets. FOCAS technology reinforces the tip section, increasing durability without sacrificing sensitivity. Composite crankbait models provide a more forgiving action to improve hookup and landing ratios with moving baits. Zirconia insert guides enhance line protection and reduce friction, extending line life and improving casting performance. High-density EVA split grips deliver comfort and control, while technique-driven reel seats—Full Contact for casting and Comfort Plus for spinning—improve feel and responsiveness. The KVD coding system allows for quick identification of technique-specific rods, making it easy to choose the right tool for the job. Built for anglers who fish to win, the KVD Elite Series delivers performance where it matters most. Perfect for jerkbaits, crankbaits, spinnerbaits, jigs, frogs, flipping, pitching, and multi-technique bass fishing.
