Westin W2 Finesse Shad Travel 10

Westin W2 Finesse Shad Travel — Sensitive 4-Section Travel Rod for Predator Lure Fishing

The W2 FST (Finesse Shad Travel) is a lightweight, four-section travel rod built for anglers who refuse to leave performance at home. With a progressive-fast action and a high-sensitivity blank, it handles everything from soft plastics to hard lures across a range of predator species.

Progressive-Fast Action for Better Hook Sets

The 24/30 tonne high performance carbon blank delivers a sensitive tip that telegraphs the lightest bites, while the progressive backbone generates enough power to drive the hook home in the bony mouths of perch, zander, asp, trout, and pike. You get feel and authority in a single blank.

Travel-Ready Without Compromise

Four sections fold down to just 66 cm for transport — small enough for carry-on luggage or a pack rod sleeve — yet the Seaguide SXOHLSG premium guides and XVS reel seat hold up to the same demands as a one-piece rod. The split EVA handle with custom non-slip rubber butt cap and integrated Seaguide Dhook keeper round out a build that travels hard and fishes harder.
