Westin W8 Powercast-T 2nd Casting Rod 2.33m 60–180g Extra Extra Heavy

Westin W8 Powercast-T 2nd — 233 cm XXH Casting Rod for Serious Pike Fishing

Built on an ultra-fast Torayca® T1100GC lightweight blank, the W8 Powercast-T 2nd (7'9"/233 cm) handles the full range of heavy pike lures with authority — yet stays sensitive enough to feel every twitch and follow from boat or bank.

High-Performance Blank with Total Lure Feedback

The Toray® Torayca® T1100GC & M40JB carbon construction delivers an ultra-fast action that transmits every nuance of your lure's movement back to the handle. Whether you're working a large swimbait or a deep-diving jerkbait, you stay connected to what's happening beneath the surface.

Built for a Full Day of Hard Casting

At 185 g, the rod is light enough for sustained casting sessions. The Fuji® T2C Carbon reel seat locks your baitcaster firmly in place, while tangle-free Fuji® SIC guides protect your line under load. The 360° custom screw-down carbon hood and Seaguide® Arc Hook 2.5 keeper round out a well-considered, fish-ready build. Each rod carries a unique serial number and arrives in a recyclable triangular box with a neoprene rod bag.

Choose the Right Variant

The W8 Powercast-T 2nd 233 cm comes in two casting weight versions to match your lure selection and fishing style.

• W8 Powercast-T 2nd 233 cm XXH 60–180 g — optimised for the heaviest pike lures in your box (oversized swimbaits, heavy deep-divers, large rubber shads); best when you're consistently fishing at the top end of the weight range; rod weight 185 g
