Westin W6 Dropshot 2nd Spinning Rod 2.46m 7

Westin W6 Dropshot 2nd — Pinpoint Sensitivity for Demanding Predators

The W6 Dropshot (Drop Shot) 2nd Generation spinning rod in 2.46 m / 8'1" M is built for anglers who refuse to compromise between feel and power when targeting finicky perch, zander, and bass with light to medium rigs.

Total Feedback Through a Full Carbon Handle

The custom-moulded Westin 3C Carbon Handle (Close Contact Carbon) transfers vibrations directly to your palm, so you feel every tap, every bottom texture, and every reluctant take — even when fishing at distance. No cork or EVA to muffle the signal; just pure carbon contact from blank to hand.

Backbone Where It Counts, Sensitivity Where It Matters

The 40T+T1100 Torayca® High Performance Carbon blank delivers a fast tip action that loads ultra-thin braids and light dropshot rigs without overpowering them, while a firm mid-section and butt give you the authority to drive the hook home confidently at range. Fuji® SiC guides protect thin PE lines from heat and wear during prolonged sessions from both bank and boat.

Choose the Right Variant

The W6 Dropshot 2nd is offered in two lengths and power ratings to match different tactics and venues:

W6 Dropshot 2nd 8'1" / 246 cm, M, 7–28 g, 2 pc — the current rod; medium power and 2.46 m reach suit boat fishing for zander and bigger perch, or long-range bank sessions where you need to work a dropshot rig at depth with full control.
W6 Dropshot 2nd 7'6" / 229 cm, ML, 5–21 g, 2 pc — lighter power, shorter blank; ideal for finesse dropshot with very light sinkers after perch in shallower water or more confined bank spots.
