Westin W4 Powershad-T 2nd Casting Rod 2.18m 50–150g

Westin W4 Powershad-T 2nd Casting Rod — XXH Power for Monster Pike

Built for anglers who fish XXL shads and heavy lures all day, the W4 Powershad-T (Power Shad Trigger) 2nd Generation delivers a refined balance of a softer, bite-detecting tip and serious backbone — so you hit hard and stay in control when a big predator runs.

Torayca High Performance Carbon Blank

The blank is constructed from Torayca High Performance Carbon and reinforced with 1k woven carbon for exceptional strength-to-weight ratio. At 296 g, the rod handles a 50–150 g casting range with authority while remaining manageable over long sessions. A custom-made rubber non-slip end cap adds grip security during hard casts.

Fast Progressive Action for Softbaits and Hardbaits Alike

The fast progressive action gives you a responsive tip for reading lure movement and tracking takes, while the powerful mid-section and butt drive hooks home on the strike. Designed primarily for large softbaits, the rod performs equally well with hard lures, spinnerbaits, and other heavy predator rigs. The Fuji ACS Trigger reel seat locks your baitcaster firmly in place, and SeaGuide LS-XQ guides keep line running smooth under load.

Choose the Right Variant

The W4 Powershad-T 2nd Generation is available in two lengths and power ratings — pick the one that suits your water and lure range:

• W4 Powershad-T 2nd 2.55 m 3XH 60–180 g — Extra length and power for shore fishing, open lakes, and targeting truly trophy-sized pike with the heaviest XXL shads and big swimbaits.
