This rod excels on deep-water predators: halibut, cod, saithe, tuna, giant trevally, and barracuda. The extra-heavy action and 70–200g weight range make it suited for large, powerful fish in strong currents and deep water.
The rod is engineered for slow-jigging techniques including long-sink jerk and half-pitch. The blank's responsiveness allows precise control of jig movements while maintaining the power needed for deep-water work.
Yes. At 295 cm with a two-piece design and transport length of 176 cm, it is equally effective from a boat and from rocky shorelines or piers. The casting weight to 200g supports long casts when shore-based.
A powerful baitcasting or multiplier reel (size 6000+) with sufficient line capacity for deep-water applications is ideal. The rod's extra-heavy action pairs best with reels built for slow-jigging in saltwater.
The rod comes in a triangular cardboard box with a protective neoprene rod bag. The two-piece construction allows compact transport. Each rod carries a unique serial number for identification.
The extra-heavy action and 70–200g weight range provide reserves for precise jigging under strong current pressure and for controlling large fish during long, hard drills. This is essential for deep-water work where conditions are more demanding.

The Westin W8 Rockshore Apex Predator is a heavy-duty slow-jigging rod engineered for deep-water hunters pursuing large predators like halibut, cod, giant trevally, and barracuda. At 295 cm with extra-heavy action and a 70–200g casting weight, it delivers the sensitivity to detect subtle bites while maintaining the backbone for intense drills in strong currents.
The blank combines Toray high-performance carbon fibres (T1100GC, T800, and M40JB) to achieve a rare balance: lightweight feel paired with exceptional strength. This composition transfers fine jigging movements into the water while resisting the punishment of long-distance deep-water drills. The result is a rod equally comfortable in rocky drop-offs and open Atlantic passages.
Fuji SIC Gunsmoke stainless guides ensure frictionless line flow and reduce wear during extended jigging sessions. The Fuji T-DPS reel seat grips securely even when wet and salt-sprayed. The split EVA handle stays sure in hand during hours of repetitive jigging, with a flat wrap design that enhances blank sensitivity.
Slow-jigging specialists will appreciate the rod's responsiveness at depth and its power to control large fish in hard-flowing conditions. Whether working dense jigs on the Atlantic shelf or engaging tropical giants from the boat, the W8 Rockshore Apex Predator handles the full range of saltwater big-game scenarios.
Length: 295 cm (2-piece). Cast weight: 70–200 g. Action: extra-heavy. Weight: 364 g. Transport length: 176 cm.
