Westin W8 Dropshot 2nd Spinning Rod 112g 2.4m 4

Westin W8 Dropshot 2nd Spinning Rod — Precision Dropshot Power from the Bank

The Westin W8 Dropshot 2nd (second generation) in 2.4 m / ML is engineered for bank anglers who demand longer casts, tight contact with the rig, and the sensitivity to detect the most timid perch bite.

Groundbreaking Blank Technology

Built from Torayca® T1100GC carbon combined with M40JB fibres, the blank offers an exceptional stiffness-to-weight ratio that keeps the rod at just 112 g while transmitting every twitch and tap directly to your hand. The FE2O3 iron oxide blank finish adds a subtle, understated look on the water.

Hardware That Matches the Blank

Tangle-free Fuji® SIC guides paired with a Fuji® T2C carbon reel seat keep weight minimal and sensitivity maximal. A 360° custom screw-down carbon hood locks the reel firmly in place, while the Seaguide® Arc Hook 2.5 keeper secures your rig between casts. Each rod ships with a unique serial number, in a recyclable triangular box and a neoprene rod bag.

Choose the Right Variant

Both rods share the same ML power, 4–21 g casting weight, Torayca® T1100GC/M40JB blank, and Fuji® SIC guide train. The difference is length — match the rod to your fishing situation.

W8 Dropshot 2nd 225 cm ML 4–21 g — 2.25 m / 7'6'', 104 g; compact choice for boat fishing and urban street fishing where shorter casts and high manoeuvrability matter
W8 Dropshot 2nd 240 cm ML 4–21 g — 2.4 m / 8', 112 g; extra reach for bank fishing, longer casts, and maintaining better contact with the dropshot rig at distance

Pair either rod with a size 1500–2500 spinning reel for optimal balance.
