It supports active catfish lure fishing, vertical fishing, clonking and drifting with worm or baitfish rigs. The overall casting rating is 50–185 g, while the supplier specifies 50–160 g for artificial lures and up to 180 g for jig heads and vertical systems. Use the technique-specific figures when choosing your presentation.
Westin recommends a size 300 baitcasting reel or a fixed-spool spinning reel from size 5000. The Carbon SKS LS reel seat accepts both types, so you can choose between these reel formats for your boat setup.
The rod is designed for these small-boat situations. Its short 191 cm length suits confined space, while the powerful, sensitive blank bends parabolically under heavy load to cushion sudden lunges during a catfish fight.
The rod separates into two sections and has a transport length of 105 cm, compared with its 191 cm fishing length. Allow this space in your boat or car and use a rod bag or sleeve to protect the blank and guides.

The Westin W3 Cat Stick 3rd is a catfish rod for active fishing from boats, particularly kayaks and belly boats. Its sensitive XH (Extra Heavy) TORAYCA® carbon blank bends into a parabolic curve under heavy load, cushioning sudden lunges while retaining the power needed to fight large catfish in confined space.
The 191 cm rod has a casting-weight rating of 50–185 g. The supplier specifies artificial lures from 50–160 g and jig heads or vertical systems up to 180 g, so the stated working weights differ by presentation. It also supports clonking and drifting with worm or baitfish rigs, letting you switch between active lure fishing and natural-bait presentations from the boat.
Westin recommends a size 300 baitcasting reel or a fixed-spool spinning reel from size 5000. The Carbon SKS LS reel seat secures the reel, while the EVA grip provides a comfortable, secure hold during longer sessions. EUKWLTSG guides provide even line guidance and reduce casting friction. The third generation combines this blank and reel seat with optimised guide positions for improved sensitivity. A Seaguide® SCDHOOK #6 hook keeper is fitted.
For boat-based catfish fishing, the supplier suggests strong braid with a high breaking strain and a sturdy fluorocarbon or monofilament leader. No precise line or leader diameter is specified, so these are not fixed setup specifications.
The two-section construction reduces the 191 cm fishing length to a transport length of 105 cm, useful when storing equipment in a kayak, belly boat or car. Rod weight is 200 g. A rod bag or sleeve is recommended to protect the blank and guides during transport.
