Westin W6 Crankstick 2nd Spinning Rod 2.39m 5

Westin W6 Crankstick 2nd — All-Day Crankbait Precision in a Featherlight Blank

Built specifically for crankbait fishing, the Westin W6 Crankstick 2nd Generation spinning rod combines a high-performance carbon blank with an intuitive handle system that keeps you connected to every dive and wobble of your lure — rod length 2.39 m, casting weight 5–40 g, rod weight just 120 g.

Premium Carbon Blank for All-Day Sensitivity

The blank is constructed from 40T+T1100 Torayca® (a high-performance carbon fibre developed by Toray Industries) — a dual-weave carbon composition that delivers exceptional stiffness-to-weight ratio. At just 120 g, the rod transmits the subtle vibrations of a running crankbait directly to your hand, so you feel every depth change, deflection and strike without fatigue over long sessions.

3C-Handle Design for Direct Lure Contact

Westin's 3C Carbon Handle — Close Contact Carbon — is built entirely from carbon, eliminating the dampening effect of conventional EVA or cork grips. The result is a direct tactile connection to your crankbait that sharpens bite detection and gives you precise control when steering deep-running lures past structure. The Fuji KSKSS16/ASH reel seat and Fuji SiC (Silicon Carbide) guides complete a component package that minimises friction and maximises feel.
