WMD Lite #2 60-130# 63" Handcrank Swordfish Rod
The WMD Lite was designed specifically for anglers who prefer the challenge and reward of hand-crank daytime swordfishing. Built on our Gulfstream Diamond Tek Intermediate Modulus Carbon Composite blank, the WMD Lite delivers exceptional lifting power while maintaining the sensitivity needed to detect subtle bites in deep water.
Designed around lighter lead systems ranging from 3–6 pounds, the WMD Lite provides a balanced and responsive platform for targeting broadbill swordfish with conventional reels. The lighter overall configuration reduces angler fatigue while maintaining the durability and reliability required for deep-water fishing.
Built with premium Fuji HBNG guides, a Winthrop #2 ferrule system, rubberized X-Grips, and premium roller top options, the WMD Lite is engineered to withstand the demands of modern swordfishing while providing years of dependable performance.
Whether you're fishing the Florida Keys, Miami, Fort Lauderdale, Palm Beach, or the Bahamas, the WMD Lite is built for anglers who want a purpose-built hand-crank swordfish rod without compromise.
