Westin W3 Predator Trolling 3rd Rod 2.59m 60

Westin W3 Predator Trolling 3rd Generation — Precision Trolling Power for Trophy Predators

The W3 Predator Trolling 3rd Generation (third generation) is a freshwater trolling rod built for anglers who pursue pike, zander, and muskie with large lures and demanding techniques. At 2.59 m (8'6") with a 60–180 g casting range, it covers the full spectrum of modern predator trolling.

Torayca® High Performance Carbon Blank

The rod is constructed from a Torayca® high-performance carbon blank, combining low weight (266 g) with exceptional strength. This material delivers the backbone needed for heavy lures and line-mounted side planers, while keeping fatigue low during long days on the water.

Progressive Action for Hook-Setting and Fish Control

The progressive action loads through the blank to drive hooks home on hard-mouthed predators, then transitions into a forgiving mid-section that absorbs powerful runs and head shakes. This balance keeps pressure on the fish without risking break-offs during the fight.
