Westin W3 Powershad 3rd Spinning Rod 2.74m 15

Westin W3 Powershad 3rd — 9 ft / 15–40g Medium-Heavy Spinning Rod for All-Round Predator Fishing

The W3 Powershad 3rd Generation (third generation) is Westin's go-to spinning rod for predator anglers who want one rod to cover both soft and hard lures — now built on a premium Torayca® High Performance Carbon blank.

Torayca® Carbon Blank: Sensitivity Where It Counts

The upgrade to a Torayca® High Performance Carbon blank delivers a noticeably faster response without sacrificing the series' proven medium-fast action. You'll feel even the most tentative take transmitted cleanly from tip to handle — an advantage when chasing cautious zander or perch in clear water.

Built for Soft and Hard Lures in the 15–40g Range

At 2.74 m and rated 15–40g, this MH version handles the full spectrum of predator lures: large shads and paddle-tails, jerkbaits, swimbaits, and heavier jig heads. The high-quality EVA handle and Carbon SKS-LS reel seat keep the rod light at 143 g while ensuring a secure, comfortable grip during long sessions.
