Westin W8 Dropshot 2nd Spinning Rod 104g 2.25m 4

Westin W8 Dropshot 2nd Spinning Rod — Featherlight Sensitivity for Perch Specialists

The Westin W8 Dropshot 2nd is a purpose-built dropshot rod engineered for anglers who demand the highest level of feel and control when targeting perch. At just 104g and 2.25m, this two-piece bank fishing rod balances effortless castability with the tactile feedback needed to detect the most tentative bites.

Next-Level Blank Technology

The blank is constructed from Torayca® T1100GC carbon combined with M40JB fibre — two of Toray's most advanced materials — delivering an exceptional stiffness-to-weight ratio. The result is a rod that transmits every movement of your softbait and every nudge of a curious perch directly to your hand, without the fatigue of carrying a heavy stick all day.

Premium Hardware from Guide Ring to Reel Seat

Fuji® SIC (Super Integral Cast) tangle-free guides keep your braid or mono running smoothly under all conditions, while the Fuji® T2C carbon reel seat keeps weight to a minimum without sacrificing grip or rigidity. A Seaguide® Arc Hook 2.5 keeper and a 360° custom screw-down carbon hood round out a component package that punches well above its price class.
