Westin has relaunched the W4 series with a range of new rods.

Powerful Baitcasting Rods for Large Soft Lures

The Westin W4 Powershad-T 2nd rods are built with serious power - the kind you need to launch large soft lures over distance, work them with precision and control, and put the hooks home on big pike before bringing them safely to the net. That is exactly what these rods are designed for. You can of course also fish other typical pike lures, including spinnerbaits and hard lures. Each rod features a Torayca High Performance blank with a slightly softer, highly sensitive tip and plenty of backbone, which ensures a clean, reliable strike. The fast-progressive action adds to the rod's sensitivity and makes bite detection that much sharper. To keep you comfortable through a full day of casting big lures, Westin has paired a Fuji ACS trigger grip with premium Ultra-Grip EVA - it sits well in the hand even after hours of working large baits. The Westin W4 Powershad-T 2nd is a strong rod series for anyone who likes fishing big soft lures for pike and wants the flexibility to switch to other lures when the situation calls for it.
