Westin W2 Z-Hunter Spinning Rod 2.65m 10

Westin W2 Z-Hunter Spinning Rod 2.65m MH — Zander Specialist for Bank and Boat

The W2 Z-Hunter is built for anglers who target zander with serious intent. At 2.65m with a medium-heavy (MH) action and 10–42g casting weight, it covers the full range of zander techniques from a single, purpose-built blank.

Sensitive Tip, Fast Backbone

The 24/30 tonne high-performance carbon blank delivers an extremely sensitive tip for detecting subtle takes, while the super-fast action provides instant hook-setting power even at long range or when working heavy jigheads. It's a combination that suits both active jigging and more patient presentations.

Versatile Across Techniques and Conditions

Beyond jigging, the Z-Hunter handles deep-diving crankbaits effectively and excels at wobbler fishing after dark — a method often overlooked for zander. The sensitive tip action also makes it a capable tool for finesse rig fishing with ultra-thin lines and light terminal tackle when zander are being selective.

Choose the Right Variant

The W2 Z-Hunter comes in three lengths and actions to match different fishing styles and venues. Select the model that fits your primary technique and location.

W2 Z-HUNTER 8'8"/265cm MH 10–42g — the current rod; 2.65m medium-heavy action suits bank fishing and boat jigging with a wide lure range from finesse rigs to heavy jigheads and deep-diving cranks; ideal for open-water zander at medium to long range
W2 Z-HUNTER 7'2"/215cm ML 7–36g — 2.15m medium-light action; shorter and lighter, suited to boat fishing in tighter conditions or with lighter lures and finesse presentations
W2 Z-HUNTER 8'2"/245cm MH 14–55g — 2.45m medium-heavy action; heavier casting range suits deeper water or faster current where heavier jigheads are needed
