Choose based on your typical lure weight and target species. The 7-25g variant (244cm, light) works best for smaller softbaits and spinners on wary perch and zander. The 15-40g models cover pike and larger lures—the 244cm length suits shore and boat work, while the 274cm version excels at distance casting and deeper water.
The 244cm (8') rod is compact and precise—ideal if you fish tight spots, wade shallow waters, or work from a boat. The 274cm (9') rod adds reach and distance, perfect for shore fishing, long casts, and covering more water quickly. Both are 2-piece for easy transport; pick the length that matches your most common environment.
The W3 Powershad series is optimised for European freshwater predators—pike, zander, and perch. While the carbon construction and guides can technically handle light saltwater, they lack the corrosion-resistant coatings needed for regular saltwater use. Stick to lakes, rivers, and coastal brackish areas without heavy salt exposure.
Torayca High Performance Carbon is a premium Japanese carbon fibre offering faster response, lighter weight, and more direct feedback. You'll notice sharper bite detection, quicker power transfer during the strike, and less arm fatigue over long sessions. The blank feels more alive without being brittle or overly stiff.
Minimal care keeps them performing. After saltwater or sandy conditions, rinse the rod and guides with fresh water and dry thoroughly. Occasionally wipe the EVA grip with a damp cloth. Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. The carbon blank needs no special treatment—it's naturally durable and corrosion-resistant. Every few seasons, inspect the guides and reel seat for looseness.
These are designed for spinning reels (the conventional open-spool style). The reel seat and guides are optimised for spinning reels. While you could theoretically attach a baitcaster, you won't get the full benefit of the rod's design, and handling balance will suffer. Pair with a quality spinning reel in the 2500–3000 size range for best results.

The W3 Powershad 3rd Generation series combines sensitive carbon blanks with responsive action for modern predator fishing. Upgraded with Torayca High Performance Carbon, these rods deliver crisp feedback on every lure contact while remaining forgiving enough for varied techniques.
When pike, zander, or perch hit hard lures or softbaits, you need to feel every movement in your hand. The fast-to-medium-fast blank transmits subtle touches and confident strikes instantly, giving you the edge in pressure situations.
These rods handle both soft and hard lures with ease. Whether you're casting spinners along weed edges, jigging gently in deep water, or retrieving crankbaits over structure, the Powershad adapts to your presentation style without sacrificing sensitivity.
Carbon roller guide system, EVA grips, and balanced weight distribution reduce arm fatigue during extended sessions. Two-piece construction breaks down easily for transport, yet joints stay rock-solid on the water.
Optimised for pike, zander, and perch — the species that matter most to serious European anglers. The range includes three distinct configurations to match your target and fishing environment.
