Westin W3 Dropshot 2nd Spinning Rod 1.98m 4–21g

Westin W3 Dropshot 2nd — Precision Spinning Rod Built for Dropshot Finesse

The Westin W3 Dropshot 2nd is a lightweight two-piece spinning rod engineered specifically for dropshot (a finesse technique using a weight below the hook) fishing, delivering the sensitivity and backbone needed to target predatory fish with soft plastics.

Soft Tip for Bite Detection, Solid Backbone for Hook Sets

The Torayca carbon blank, reinforced with 1k woven carbon, delivers a blank that is both light and responsive. The very soft tip transmits even the subtlest takes directly to your hand, while the rod still carries enough reserve power to drive hooks home and control hard-fighting fish like perch and zander.

Flat Rear Grip for All-Day Comfort

The flat rear grip is purpose-designed to rest along your forearm during extended sessions, reducing fatigue and improving stability when working a dropshot rig with repeated small movements. The lightweight SKS reel seat keeps you in direct contact with the blank, and a built-in hook keeper lets you transport a rigged rod to the water safely.
