Westin W3 Finesse T&C 3rd Spinning Rod 2.16m 7

Westin W3 Finesse T&C 3rd — Precision Power for Texas & Carolina Rig Fishing

The W3 Finesse T&C (Texas & Carolina) 3rd Generation is built for anglers who demand sensitivity and authority when working soft lures over structure and through cover. At 2.16 m and just 130 g, this Medium action two-piece rod is ready when wary perch, zander, and bass refuse anything less than a perfect presentation.

Torayca® Carbon Blank — Feel Everything, Miss Nothing

The blank is constructed from Torayca® High Performance Carbon, a material prized for its exceptional strength-to-weight ratio. This translates directly into outstanding bite detection — you feel every tick and tap along the bottom — while the responsive blank loads efficiently to drive hooks home even through tough mouths or braided-line stretch.

Built for Cover and Structure Work

The Medium action provides enough backbone to extract fish from submerged timber, weed edges, and rocky structure without sacrificing the delicate touch that finesse rigs demand. The crisp hook-set response pairs naturally with Texas-rigged creature baits dragged slowly over the bottom or Carolina rigs covering wider ground on gravel flats. Premium components complete the package: a Carbon SKS-LS reel seat, EUKTLTSG guides, high-quality EVA handle, and a Seaguide® TUHOOK#4 hook keeper.
