Westin W2 Finesse Shad Spinning Rod 10–28g 2.2m 192g Progressive-Fast

Westin W2 Finesse Shad Spinning Rod — Versatile Predator Performance at 10–28g

The Westin W2 Finesse Shad (Spinning Rod, 7'4"/2.2m, MH) delivers a progressive-fast action that balances razor-sharp bite detection with the backbone to drive hooks home in tough predator jaws — all in a lightweight 192g package.

Sensitive Blank, Confident Hook-Sets

Built from 24/30-tonne high-performance carbon, the blank transmits even the subtlest takes directly to your hand. Yet when a zander or pike closes its bony mouth, the progressive-fast action loads smoothly and releases power precisely where you need it — no missed opportunities.

Built for Hard and Soft Lures Alike

With a 10–28g casting range, this rod handles a broad repertoire: jerkbaits and crankbaits for pike, finesse shads and drop-shot rigs for perch, and inline spinners or small wobblers for trout and asp. The Seaguide SXOHLSG premium guides ensure smooth line flow and durability through long sessions. The split EVA handle keeps the rod balanced and comfortable, while the Seaguide XVS reel seat holds your reel rock-solid.

Choose the Right Variant

The W2 Finesse Shad series spans four lengths and two power ratings to match your target species and casting distance. Pick the blank that fits your water and technique:

W2 Finesse Shad 7'4"/2.2m MH 10–28g — the current rod; compact and light (192g), ideal for river and smaller-water finesse work targeting perch, zander, trout, and asp with shads, soft lures, and lightweight hard baits
W2 Finesse Shad 7'6"/2.25m H 12–38g — slightly longer with a heavier power rating; suits medium-sized rivers and lakes, larger shads and heavier jigs for pike and big zander
W2 Finesse Shad 8'3"/2.48m H 12–38g — extra reach for wider rivers and shore casting; handles heavier lures and stronger currents
W2 Finesse Shad 9'/2.7m H 12–38g — longest option for maximum casting distance; beach, pier, or large-lake predator fishing with 12–38g lures
