Westin W8 Champions Edition Finesse Predator-T

A Top-Tier Rod for Baitcasting Enthusiasts

The Westin W8 Champions Edition Finesse Predator-T sits at the very top of what a modern baitcasting rod can be. Built for targeting perch and zander with soft lures, it demands no compromises whatsoever. The innovative design delivers an intuitive casting feel and lets you drive the hook home quickly and reliably even at full distance. It doesn't just sit in your hand - it becomes part of it. To get the most out of the Westin W8 Champions Edition Finesse Predator-T, pair it with a quality baitcaster in size 100 or 200 for a balance that feels almost weightless.

Extreme Recovery and Sensitivity Through Advanced Carbon

The blank is built from Torayca T1100GC and M40JB Carbon - a material combination known for its extreme recovery and outstanding sensitivity. The result is a featherlight construction that transmits every change in bottom structure and the most tentative touch from a cautious predator straight to your fingertips. The blank is finished in a distinctive FE2O3 Eisenoxid colouring that gives the Westin W8 Champions Edition Finesse Predator-T a raw yet elegant aesthetic and marks it immediately as the flagship of the series.

Uncompromising Fittings and an Individual Serial Number

The fittings are built to the same exacting standard as the blank itself. Braid runs smoothly through the tangle-free Seaguide Titanium guides, maximising both casting distance and accuracy. The ergonomic Seaguide AKCS Carbon reel seat has been specified exclusively for this model - as strong on function as it is on looks. The rod is finished with a 360° individually designed, removable carbon butt cap. A dedicated Seaguide Arc Hook 2.5 hook keeper completes the build. Every Westin W8 Champions Edition Finesse Predator-T is a verified individual piece with its own serial number, delivered fully protected in a Custom Westin Cordura tube with a neoprene rod sleeve included.
