Westin W2 Powercast Travel Casting Rod 2.48m 40

Westin W2 Powercast Travel — Four-Section Casting Rod Built for Big Pike

The W2 Powercast Travel in the XXH (Extra-Extra-Heavy) power rating is a four-section casting rod engineered for anglers who target large pike and predators with heavy lures. At 2.48 m with a 40–130 g casting weight and just 213 g on the scale, it packs serious power into a 73 cm travel package.

Progressive Action That Works for You

The progressive blank geometry is designed to reduce fatigue during long casting sessions with larger lures — shads, spinnerbaits, and big soft plastics. The rod loads smoothly through the cast, yet recovers quickly enough to transmit sharp, direct feedback from lure to hand. Every blade of grass, pebble, or predator contact registers clearly.

Premium Components That Last

The blank is built from 24/30 tonne high-performance carbon, balancing sensitivity with the backbone needed to turn hard-running fish. A Seaguide® XVS reel seat locks your multiplier or baitcaster firmly in place; Seaguide® SXQLSG premium guides manage line under load; and a full EVA handle provides a non-slip grip in wet conditions. A Seaguide® Dhook hook keeper keeps your terminal rig tidy between casts.
