Westin has refreshed its W4 rod range with this second-generation model, bringing sharper components and refined performance to an already capable series.

A Finesse Rod With a Wide Range of Uses

The Westin W4 Finesse-T T&C 2nd was developed primarily as a finesse rod for Texas and Carolina rigs - but limiting it to that role alone would be a waste. It works equally well for light jigging with soft lures and for small hard lures. This very light and highly sensitive rod delivers across all forms of light predator fishing. You get outstanding lure control and feel every subtle knock and tap. The fast action of the Torayca high-performance carbon blank means you can follow up those takes with a clean, decisive strike without delay. The rod also handles bigger fish with ease - there is more than enough backbone to play out a substantial zander without drama.

Fuji and SeaGuide Components

The Westin W4 Finesse-T T&C 2nd is built with quality fittings throughout. Westin chose a combination of premium UltraGrip EVA and a Fuji SKTS reel seat for baitcasters for the handle. The split grip design sits comfortably in the hand and offers excellent feedback, transmitting every contact - whether a snag or a bite - directly to your palm. The rings are SeaGuide LS guides, which combine low weight with solid durability.
