Westin W3 Dropshot 3rd

Built for Drop Shotting

The Westin W3 Dropshot 3rd are spinning rods developed specifically for fishing the drop shot rig. Despite being extremely light, they have a strong backbone through the handle and mid section, so you can drive the hook home reliably even at full casting distance. Equally important is the high sensitivity, which comes in part from the ultra-soft tip: you stay in direct contact with the drop shot weight and lure and feel even the most tentative take. That excellent bite detection lets you fool the most cautious fish. The sensitive tip action also means you can fish very thin lines without worrying about breakage on the strike.

First-Class Build Quality at an Outstanding Price-to-Performance Ratio

The Westin W3 Series in its third generation uses high-modulus Torayca High Performance Carbon blanks from Japanese manufacturing, delivering remarkable responsiveness. The EVA grips are shaped for a secure hold and give you excellent feel in all conditions. A solid Carbon SKS-LS reel seat ensures that your fixed spool reel sits absolutely firm and play-free under any load. The blank is fitted with Seaguide TUXOLSG guides, optimised for use with braid. A practical touch is the integrated Seaguide Black Special hook keeper, which lets you secure your lure quickly when moving between spots. As with the entire range, consistently high build quality meets first-rate components to deliver strong performance at an outstanding price-to-performance ratio.
