Westin W8 Spin 2nd Spinning Rod 7

Westin W8 Spin 2nd — Purpose-Built Seatrout Spinning Rod

Engineered from the ground up for seatrout fishing, the W8 Spin 2nd 9'2" (275 cm) M 7–30g delivers the ideal blend of lightness, sensitivity, and backbone that coastal spinning demands.

Torayca Premium Blank for Feel and Power

The blank is built from a combination of Toray Torayca T1100GC and M40JB carbon fibres — two complementary materials that together produce a rod with exceptional sensitivity for detecting subtle takes, yet enough reserve power to handle strong fish in current or surf. The distinctive FE2O3 iron oxide blank colour gives the rod a refined, understated appearance on the water.

Components That Match the Blank's Quality

Fuji SIC tangle-free guides keep your line running cleanly on every cast, while the Fuji T2C carbon reel seat is both lightweight and rigid. The 360° custom-designed screw-down carbon hood locks your reel firmly in place. AAAA-grade cork handles provide a comfortable, confident grip in wet conditions, and every rod carries a unique serial number — a mark of individual quality testing before shipment.
