Westin W3 Finesse T&C 3rd Spinning Rod 2.16m 5

Westin W3 Finesse T&C 3rd — Precision Spinning Rod for Texas & Carolina Rig

The W3 Finesse T&C (Texas & Carolina) 3rd Generation is built for anglers who demand sensitivity and control when working soft baits over structure and through cover. At 2.16 m and just 114 g, this ML model handles lures from 5–15 g with effortless feel.

Torayca® Carbon Blank — Feel Every Bite

The blank is crafted from Torayca® high-performance carbon, delivering a responsive, lightweight foundation that transmits bottom texture and the subtlest takes directly to your hand. The crisp action makes hook-sets confident and decisive — a real advantage when fishing in tight cover or targeting perch, zander, and bass with tough mouths.

Purpose-Built Components for Finesse Work

The carbon SKS-LS reel seat keeps the outfit light and locked solid, while EUKTLTSG guides ensure smooth line flow through both the cast and the retrieve. A premium EVA handle provides grip and comfort during long finesse sessions, and the Seaguide® TUHOOK#4 hook keeper keeps your rig secure between presentations.
