Westin W8 Powercast-T 2nd Casting Rod 233cm 40

Westin W8 Powercast-T 2nd Casting Rod 233cm 40–130g — Versatile Pike Power with Ultra-Sensitive Feedback

Built on a Toray Torayca T1100GC & M40JB ultra-fast blank, the W8 Powercast-T 2nd (Baitcasting rod) in XXH delivers the casting range and lure control serious pike anglers demand — from the bank or the boat.

Ultra-Fast Blank for Total Lure Control

The Torayca® T1100GC & M40JB blank is remarkably light at 178g while generating the stiffness of an Extra Extra Heavy action. Every twitch, pause, and glide is transmitted directly to your hand, so you stay connected to your lure through the full retrieve — an edge when working large swimbaits, soft shads, or hard jerkbaits in the 40–130g window.

Power to Land Big Pike, Sensitivity to Enjoy the Fight

A progressive tip softens the initial run of smaller fish without sacrificing the backbone needed to turn a double-figure pike away from snags. The Fuji® T2C Carbon reel seat locks a size 300 baitcasting reel rock-solid, while tangle-free Fuji® SIC guides protect your braid under load. A 360° screw-down carbon hood, Seaguide® Arc hook-keeper, and unique serial number round out a rod built to last.

Choose the Right Variant

The W8 Powercast-T 2nd 233cm comes in two lure-weight versions. Match the variant to the lures you fish most:

Westin W8 Powercast-T 2nd 233cm XXH 40–130g (178g) — the current rod; ideal for the full spectrum of everyday pike lures from lighter swimbaits and large soft plastics up to heavy hard baits; covers most boat and bank sessions where versatility is key
Westin W8 Powercast-T 2nd 233cm XXH 60–180g (185g) — steps up to heavier magnum swimbaits, deep-running plugs, and high-resistance big-bait presentations; suited to anglers who consistently fish the upper end of pike lure sizes
