Westin W2 Dropshot Spinning Rod 2.43m 5

Westin W2 Dropshot Spinning Rod 2.43m 5–25g ML — Sensitive Entry-Level Dropshot Rod for Picky Predators

The Westin W2 Dropshot is a versatile spinning rod built for bank, boat, and belly boat fishing alike. At 2.43m with an ML (Medium Light) action and a 5–25g casting range, it covers all the bases for finesse predator fishing with light to medium presentations.

Sensitive Tip, Confident Hooksets

The extremely sensitive tip action lets you feel every subtle bite when fishing ultra-thin lines and light rigs — ideal for targeting cautious or pressured predators. Despite its delicate top section, the W2 Dropshot has plenty of backbone through the mid and butt sections, giving you the power to drive the hook home even at longer distances.

Quality Components Throughout

The blank is built from 24/30 tonne High Performance Carbon, keeping the rod light at just 168g while maintaining the responsiveness dropshot fishing demands. Seaguide SXOHLSG premium guides handle line management cleanly, a Seaguide XVS reel seat locks your reel securely in place, and the split EVA handle offers a comfortable, grippy hold in all conditions. A Seaguide Dhook keeper rounds out the setup.

Choose the Right Variant

The W2 Dropshot comes in two lengths, both sharing the same ML action and 5–25g casting weight — pick the length that suits your fishing style and venue.

W2 Dropshot 2.13m ML 5–25g — Compact option for tighter swims, smaller boats, or when extra manoeuvrability is needed; suits close-range dropshot and light jigging for perch, zander, and similar species.
W2 Dropshot 2.43m ML 5–25g — Extended reach for bank fishing, larger open-water venues, or when casting further is an advantage; well-suited to bank sessions and belly boat use targeting perch, pike, and zander.
