Westin W2 Finesse Ned Spinning Rod 3

Westin W2 Finesse Ned Spinning Rod — Purpose-Built Sensitivity for Ned Rig Fishing

The Westin W2 Finesse Ned is a dedicated spinning rod engineered from the ground up for Ned rig (a finesse soft-plastic technique using small mushroom-head jigs) fishing, combining a lightweight 106 g build with a 3–15 g casting range that keeps you in perfect contact with subtle bites.

High-Performance Carbon Blank for Maximum Feel

The blank is constructed from a dual-modulus 24/30 tonne high-performance carbon layup, delivering the fast, responsive action needed to detect gentle Ned rig takes while maintaining enough backbone to set the hook cleanly and steer fish away from cover.

Premium Components from Tip to Butt

Seaguide® SXOHLSG guides keep line running friction-free through every cast and retrieve, while the Seaguide® XVS reel seat locks your reel in place with precision. The split-handle design with premium-grade EVA keeps the rod light in hand and transmits vibration directly to your palm, and the Seaguide® Dhook hook keeper tidies up your rig between casts.

Choose the Right Variant

The W2 Finesse Ned range covers two actions to match different conditions and target species. Choose the power that suits your water and quarry:

W2 Finesse Ned L 2.18 m 3–15 g (2pc) — 106 g: The light action model. Ideal for small jig heads (2–5 g), drop-shot weights, and finesse presentations targeting perch, smallmouth bass, and trout in clear or pressured water. Pairs perfectly with light fluorocarbon or braid on a 1000–2500 size spinning reel.
W2 Finesse Ned M 2.18 m 6–20 g (2pc) — 109 g: The medium action model. A better fit for heavier Ned heads, slightly larger soft plastics, and fishing deeper or faster-flowing water. Suited to largemouth bass, zander, and bigger perch where extra punch is needed.
