Westin W3 Dropshot 3rd Spinning Rod 2.44m 5

Westin W3 Dropshot 3rd — Maximum Sensitivity for Picky Predators

The W3 Dropshot 3rd Generation is an ultra-light two-piece spinning rod built around a sensitive Torayca® High Performance Carbon blank — engineered to feel every nudge and drive the hook home at distance.

Direct Contact, Zero Compromise

At just 104g and 2.44m, this rod delivers an unfiltered connection between your hand and the dropshot rig. The super-soft tip amplifies even the subtlest takes, while a stiff butt and mid-section provide the backbone to set hooks confidently — whether you're fishing close to the bank or reaching across a river.

Built for Bank, Boat, and Belly Boat

The ML (Medium Light) action covering 5–25g makes this rod equally at home on shore, from a boat, or aboard a belly boat. Ultra-thin braided lines and finesse end tackle can be used with confidence, letting you present light dropshot rigs naturally to wary perch, zander, and bass. Seaguide® TUXOLSG guides, a Carbon SKS-LS reel seat, and high-quality EVA handle round out a setup that performs day after day.

Choose the Right Variant

The W3 Dropshot 3rd is available in two lengths — pick the one that suits your casting style, venue, and rig weight:

W3 Dropshot 3rd 8' / 2.44m ML 5–25g 2pc — 2.44m, 104g, transport length 125cm. Extra reach for open-water boat fishing and longer bank casts; ideal for medium dropshot weights and covering more water. (current product)
W3 Dropshot 3rd 7'1" / 2.16m ML 5–25g 2pc — 2.16m, 93g, transport length 111cm. More compact and lighter, great for confined spots, belly boats, and highly technical short-range presentations.
