Westin W2 Finesse Shad Spinning Rod 12–38g 2.25m 202g Progressive-Fast

Westin W2 Finesse Shad Spinning Rod — One Rod for Every Predator Lure Technique

The W2 Finesse Shad is a progressive-fast spinning rod built for anglers who want a single, highly capable tool across hard and soft lure fishing for perch, zander, asp, trout, and pike.

Sensitive Blank That Communicates Every Bite

Constructed from 24/30 tonne high-performance carbon, the blank is light in hand yet remarkably responsive. At 202 g and 2.25 m, this rod transmits subtle takes clearly — whether you're twitching a jerkbait or working a finesse rig near the bottom.

Progressive-Fast Action for Confident Hook Sets

The progressive-fast action loads gradually through the blank, absorbing the energy of hard-mouthed predators during the fight while still delivering the decisive power needed to drive the hook home. The 12–38 g casting range gives you genuine flexibility across lure weights, from lighter shads to heavier jigs.

Choose the Right Variant

The W2 Finesse Shad comes in four lengths and two power ratings to match different fishing situations. All share the same progressive-fast action, 24/30 tonne carbon blank, and Seaguide® SXOHLSG guides.
