Westin W3 Powershad 3rd Spinning Rod 2.44m 7

Westin W3 Powershad 3rd — All-Round Predator Spinning Rod with Fingertip Sensitivity

The W3 Powershad 3rd Generation is a medium-fast spinning rod built for predator anglers who want one rod that handles both soft and hard lures with confidence. At 2.44 m (8 ft) with a 7–25 g casting range, this Medium power version covers a wide range of everyday predator situations.

Torayca High Performance Carbon Blank

The blank is constructed from Torayca® High Performance Carbon, delivering a faster response and exceptional sensitivity. Even the subtlest tap or follow from a hesitant perch or zander transmits clearly through the blank to your hand — so you react faster and miss fewer bites.

Built for All-Day Comfort and Control

The Carbon SKS-LS reel seat keeps your reel locked firmly in place, while the high-quality EVA handle provides a secure, comfortable grip through long sessions in cold or wet conditions. EUKTLTSG guides are optimally spaced to reduce friction and maximise casting distance, and the Seaguide® TUHOOK#4 hook keeper keeps your lure tidy between casts.

Choose the Right Variant

The W3 Powershad 3rd Generation is available in three configurations to match your target species and fishing style. All models share Medium-Fast action, Torayca High Performance Carbon, EUKTLTSG guides, and a 2-piece build.
