Westin W6 Finesse Shad 2nd Spinning Rod 2pc 2.54m 8–36g 140g

Westin W6 Finesse Shad 2nd — Precision Control for Demanding Lure Anglers

The W6 Finesse Shad 2nd Generation (second generation) is a two-piece spinning rod built for anglers who demand sensitivity, balance, and pinpoint presentation. At 2.54 m with an 8–36 g casting range, this MH-power blank covers everything from finesse jigs to heavier soft-lure rigs.

Ultra-Responsive Carbon Blank

The blank is built from 40T+T1100 Torayca® high-performance carbon — a premium fibre combination that delivers outstanding stiffness-to-weight ratio. The result is a crisp, fast action with exceptional bite detection and instant hook-setting power, whether you're working a drop-shot for perch or a heavier jig for zander.

Premium Components, Built to Last

Fuji® SiC (Silicon Carbide) guides keep friction to a minimum for smooth, efficient casting, while the Fuji KSKSS16/ASH reel seat locks your reel firmly in place. The Westin 3C Carbon Handle (Close Contact Carbon) is custom-moulded for a secure, ergonomic grip that transmits every vibration directly to your hand — even the most subtle takes register clearly.

Choose the Right Variant

All three rods share the same fast action, Torayca® carbon blank, Fuji® SiC guides, and 3C Carbon Handle. Choose based on the lure weights and fishing distances that match your target species and conditions.
