Westin W2 Finesse Shad Spinning Rod 12–38g 2.7m 248g Progressive-Fast

Westin W2 Finesse Shad Spinning Rod — Versatile Predator Lure Rod for a Wide Range of Techniques

The W2 Finesse Shad 9' / 270 cm in Heavy (12–38 g) is a two-piece spinning rod built around a progressive-fast action and a sensitive 24/30-tonne high-performance carbon blank — a capable all-rounder for anglers who want one rod to cover hard and soft lures across many situations.

Sensitive Blank, Confident Hook Sets

The multi-modulus carbon construction — combining 24 and 30-tonne fibres — keeps the tip responsive enough to transmit subtle takes, while the progressive taper loads progressively toward the butt to drive hooks into the bony jaws of predators. You feel the bite and have the backbone to act on it.

Refined Components, Practical Handle

Seaguide® SXOHLSG premium guides keep line running cleanly under load, and the Seaguide® XVS reel seat holds your reel firmly in place. The split-handle EVA grip reduces weight and keeps the rod balanced, while a custom rubber non-slip end cap and a Seaguide® Dhook hook keeper round off a well-considered build.

Choose the Right Variant

The W2 Finesse Shad comes in four lengths and two casting-weight classes, so you can match the rod to your fishing style, target species, and venue.
