Westin W2 Finesse Shad Spinning Rod 12–38g 2.48m 221g Progressive-Fast

Westin W2 Finesse Shad 8'3" 248cm H — Power and Sensitivity in One Predator Rod

The W2 Finesse Shad in 8'3" (248 cm) with a 12–38g casting weight gives you reach and authority over hard-fighting predators, while its progressive-fast action keeps you in touch with every take.

Progressive-Fast Action for Confident Hook Sets

The 24/30 tonne high-performance carbon blank delivers a responsive tip for reading lure movement and detecting bites, yet loads progressively through the mid and butt section to drive hooks home in the bony mouths of perch, zander, pike, asp, and trout. You feel everything without sacrificing striking power.

Premium Components Built for All-Day Fishing

Seaguide SXOHLSG premium guides keep friction low and casting smooth across the full 12–38g lure range. The Seaguide XVS reel seat locks your reel securely in place, the split-handle EVA grip stays comfortable for extended sessions, and a custom rubber non-slip end cap rounds off a rod that feels as good as it performs. A Seaguide Dhook hook keeper keeps your rig tidy between casts.
