Westin W8 Spin 2nd 2.7m ML 5–25g — Purpose-Built Precision for Seatrout

The W8 Spin 2nd is Westin's dedicated seatrout spinning rod, combining aerospace-grade carbon with premium hardware to deliver a light, responsive tool that excels in coastal spin fishing. At 130g and 2.7m, this Medium-Light two-piece handles lures from 5 to 25g with confident authority.

Blank That Feels Every Twitch

The blank is built from Toray Torayca T1100GC and M40JB carbon fibres — a dual-weave construction that balances tensile strength with fine tip sensitivity. The FE2O3 iron-oxide finish is more than cosmetic; it provides a distinctive coastal look and reflects Westin's attention to detail. Each blank is individually strength-tested before leaving the factory, so you know exactly what you're casting with.

Hardware Chosen for Salt and Wind

Fuji SIC (Silicon Carbide) tangle-free guides protect your braid or fluorocarbon leader across long sessions, while the Fuji T2C carbon reel seat keeps your reel locked in place without adding unnecessary weight. AAAA-grade cork handles offer a classic feel and reliable grip even in wet, cold conditions. A 360° screw-down carbon hood, Seaguide Arc Hook 2.5 keeper, and a unique serial number on every rod round out a package built to serious standards. Pairs optimally with a 2500–4000 size spinning reel.
