Westin W3 Finesse T&C 2nd Spinning Rod 2.25m 5–15g

Westin W3 Finesse T&C 2nd — Versatile Finesse Spinning Rod for Predator Fishing

The Westin W3 Finesse T&C (Texas & Carolina) 2nd is a lightweight, sensitive spinning rod built for finesse techniques with soft and hard baits — equally at home chasing perch in the shallows or targeting trout and pike-perch in deeper water.

Built for Texas & Carolina Rig Precision

The medium-light action and 5–15g casting weight make this rod an ideal tool for working Texas and Carolina rigs along the bottom. The Torayca carbon blank, reinforced with 1K woven carbon, provides the sensitivity to detect subtle takes through heavy structure while still packing enough backbone to drive the hook home into a predator's hard, bony mouth.

Light, Balanced, and Versatile

At just 132g, the W3 Finesse T&C 2nd handles beautifully over long sessions. The split grip design keeps weight low and improves bite detection directly through your hand. LTS guides keep line running smoothly whether you're slow-twitching a soft plastic over gravel or working small hard baits in tight spots. The 2-piece construction (transport length 119cm) makes it easy to carry to any venue.
