I purchased three new lews speed stick SG spinning rods. Two 7' and one 6'6". I also purchased a 7' x heavy, x fast bait casting rod too. I really like the feel of these graphite rods. Tonight I ordered three more lewd rods a 6' med action, a 5'6" med/or action and a 5'UL trout rod. There all spinning rods. I'm very happy with the quality and feel of the lews rods.

Now I'm interested in the baitcasting rod craze where the 5'6" & 6' is going to hit here. I don't see any of the better quality rods in these shorter lengths yet.

My question is do you stay with one brand of rod for most of your selection or do you try different brands?

I guess I'm going to part with some used rods soon. There still in New condition.

Good to hear you really like lew's rods. I want to get a lew's rod but before I do I'm waiting to see if tackle tour will do a review on them. Also since I like my powell rods so much I don't know for sure yet.

how is the sensitivity on these rods (the ones you have used)?

Research after research, I read that it's a good idea to stick to one brand of rods because each brand acts differently from 1 to another.
