Westin W2 Finesse Ned Spinning Rod 6

Westin W2 Finesse Ned Spinning Rod — Precision Tool for Ned Rig Finesse Fishing

The Westin W2 Finesse Ned is purpose-built for anglers who take the Ned rig seriously. At 2.18 m with a 6–20 g casting weight and just 109 g on the scale, this two-piece rod delivers the sensitivity and accuracy the technique demands.

High-Performance Carbon Blank for Maximum Feel

The blank is constructed from a dual-modulus 24/30 tonne high-performance carbon layup. This combination keeps weight low while providing the fast response needed to detect the subtle takes typical of Ned rig fishing — every tick on the bottom telegraphs straight to your hand.

Premium Components Built to Last

Seaguide® SXOHLSG guides keep friction low and stand up to both mono and braid, while the Seaguide® XVS reel seat locks your reel in place under load. The split-handle design with premium-grade EVA gives a clean, lightweight grip and puts your hand closer to the blank for even better sensitivity. A Seaguide® Dhook hook keeper completes the setup.

Choose the Right Variant

The W2 Finesse Ned comes in two versions, each targeting a distinct style of finesse fishing. Pick the one that matches your typical lure weight and target species.

W2 Finesse Ned 2.18 m 6–20 g (109 g) — current model: The medium-power option. Handles heavier Ned heads, small creature baits, and compact soft-plastics where a bit more backbone helps control the presentation or manage larger perch, zander, and bass in open water or light cover.
W2 Finesse Ned 2.18 m 3–15 g (106 g): The light-power option, ideal for ultra-light Ned heads and finesse drop-shot rigs targeting perch and other species where a softer tip improves bite detection and casting accuracy with very light lures.
