KVD® Elite Rods are built to deliver top-tier performance for serious anglers. Built with premium IM8 graphite blanks or composite blanks for crankbait models, each rod is enhanced with FOCAS® technology to boost tip strength and overall durability without sacrificing the high level of sensitivity needed for detecting light bites. Crankbait models feature a composite construction for maximizing hookups and fish landing rates for many styles of reaction baits. The unique KVD coding system labeled on the blank of each rod provides easy identification of each rod action.

The stainless steel guide frames feature zirconia inserts, a type of ceramic renowned for its exceptional hardness and smooth surface, offering outstanding resistance to wear and tear caused by fishing line. For comfort and control, these rods feature a high density EVA split grip handle. Casting models include Full Contact reel seats for unmatched sensitivity, while spinning models offer exceptional grip and comfort with Lew's exclusive Comfort Plus reel seats. A stainless steel hook keeper adds practicality, providing secure storage for hooks of any size.
