Westin W4 Finesse Shad 2nd Spinning Rod 225cm 12

Westin W4 Finesse Shad 2nd Spinning Rod 225cm — Versatile Power for Predator Fishing

When your fishing demands a touch more backbone than a standard finesse rod can offer, the Westin W4 Finesse Shad 2nd Generation steps up — combining sensitivity, speed, and the authority to handle serious fish.

Progressive Fast Blank for Premium Feel and Strike Detection

Built on a Torayca® High Performance Carbon blank with a progressive fast action, this rod delivers an outstanding balance between sensitivity and power. You'll feel every nudge and tap through the handle, yet the blank has enough authority to drive the hook home and control big perch, zander, pike, or asp at close range.

Versatile Hardware Built for All-Day Sessions

Seaguide® LS Ring Guides keep line friction low and casting smooth across a 12–38g lure weight range, making this rod equally at home with soft shads, jerkbaits, or hard lures. The Fuji® SKS reel seat locks your reel securely in place, while the UltraGrip EVA handle and custom non-slip rubber end cap keep things comfortable over a long day on the water. Reinforced with 1k woven carbon and finished with a custom hook keeper, every detail is purpose-built for predator fishing.
