Westin W6 Dropshot 2nd Spinning Rod 2.29m 5

Westin W6 Dropshot 2nd — Total Sensitivity for Picky Predators

The W6 Dropshot (Drop Shot) 2nd Generation spinning rod pairs an ultra-sensitive tip with serious backbone — giving you the feel to detect every nudge and the power to convert it into a solid hookset, even at distance.

Feel Every Bite, Miss Nothing

Built on a 40T+T1100 Torayca® High Performance Carbon blank, the ML action delivers a razor-sharp tip that transmits the faintest contact from soft-lure to hand. Ultra-thin braids and light dropshot rigs can be fished with full confidence, making it ideal when pressured perch, zander, or bass are being selective.

Power Where It Counts

Despite its sensitive tip, the W6 Dropshot 2nd has plenty of backbone through the butt and mid-section. The custom-moulded Westin 3C Carbon Handle (Close Contact Carbon) amplifies vibration directly to your palm, so you can work your soft lure along the bottom with precision and set the hook firmly — from the bank or the boat. Fuji® SiC guides keep friction low and protect thin lines under load.

Choose the Right Variant

Two rod lengths and casting weight ratings cover a wide range of dropshot scenarios. Pick the build that matches your water, target species, and rig weight.

W6 Dropshot 2nd 7'6" / 2.29m · ML · 5–21g · 2pc (this rod): Medium-light action; ideal for finesse dropshot with light jig heads (5–18g), thin braid, and fluorocarbon leaders. Best for perch and zander from the bank or smaller boats, open water and moderate depths.
W6 Dropshot 2nd 8'1" / 2.46m · M · 7–28g · 2pc: Fast action; suits heavier dropshot rigs and longer casts. Better for deep-water boat fishing, larger venues, and when bigger zander or pike-perch are the target.
