The Westin W3 Powerstrike-T 3rd Generation is a baitcasting rod for active lure fishing where you want to combine precision, sensitivity, and power. The fast Torayca carbon blank responds immediately, allowing you to twitch hardbaits tightly and retrieve lures or topwaters with control. At the same time, this rod offers good sensitivity, yet has enough backbone to keep a strong pike or zander under control. With the Seaguide guides, carbon reel seat, and EVA handle, this is a comfortable, well-balanced rod for long sessions and many casts.
