Westin W3 Twitch & Pop-T 3rd 2.18m 5

Westin W3 Twitch & Pop-T (Twitch & Popper Trigger) 3rd Generation 2.18m — Precision Topwater Performance

The W3 Twitch & Pop-T 3rd Generation is a super-light, highly sensitive baitcasting rod built specifically for finesse topwater fishing with poppers, walk-the-dog stickbaits, and surface lures. At just 121g and 2.18m, it delivers the kind of control and feel that takes shallow-water predator fishing to the next level.

Fast Tip Action for Perfect Lure Presentation

The fast tip action is dialled in for topwater techniques, giving every popper and stickbait exactly the right swimming cadence — whether you're working a spitting popper or dancing a walk-the-dog lure across the surface. The blank is built from Torayca® High Performance Carbon, keeping weight low and sensitivity high so you feel every twitch and follow.

Registers Every Bite, Sets the Hook Reliably

In surface fishing, missed takes are costly. This rod's sensitivity and action combine to register even tentative nibbles, giving you the reaction time you need to drive the hook home. The Seaguide® TUXOLSG guides handle your line cleanly under load, and the Carbon SKC-LS reel seat keeps a size 50 Westin BaitCaster locked firmly in place.
