Westin W8 Spin 2nd 8'1" / 2.43m ML – Precision Seatrout Spinning Rod

Built from the ground up for seatrout anglers, the W8 Spin 2nd combines aerospace-grade carbon with tournament-proven components to deliver a light, sensitive, and remarkably tough coastal spinning rod.

Premium Carbon Blank for Maximum Sensitivity

The blank is constructed from a blend of Toray Torayca T1100GC and M40JB carbon fibres – materials used in aerospace and high-performance sports equipment. The result is an exceptionally thin-walled blank that transmits even the most delicate take directly to your hand, without sacrificing the backbone needed to fight strong fish along exposed coastlines.

Top-Tier Components Throughout

A Fuji T2C carbon reel seat keeps weight to a minimum while locking your reel rock-solid. Tangle-free Fuji SIC guides protect your line and ensure smooth, long casts under all conditions. The handle is shaped from AAAA-grade cork – the finest natural cork available – for a secure, comfortable grip even in cold, wet conditions. A 360° screw-down carbon hood, a Seaguide Arc hook-keeper, and a unique serial number on every blank round out the build quality. Each rod is individually strength-tested before leaving the factory.

Choose the Right Variant

All W8 Spin 2nd models share the same Torayca blank material, Fuji SIC guides, and AAAA cork handle. Select the length and power that matches your fishing style, target species, and typical casting conditions:
