For this new generation of rods, Westin is renewing its W3 Powercast for large pike fishing. This spinning rod is dedicated to predator anglers demanding performance and reliability. Designed to cast and animate large lures in search of big catches, this rod offers excellent value for money for pike anglers.
The heart of the W3 Powercast is based on a high-performance Torayca carbon blank®, a reference blank in the high-end fishing rod industry. This exceptional carbon fiber offers remarkable tensile strength while maintaining optimal lightness, allowing you to fish for long days.
This exceptional weight / power ratio brings you a surprisingly light rod in hand, capable of dominating the most violent fights against powerful predators. The Torayca® blank also absorbs parasitic vibrations, connecting you directly to your lure for an incomparable tactile experience.
The fast and reactive action of the W3 Powercast is ideal for fishing with large soft lures as well as spinnerbaits and glidebaits. This technical feature brings several decisive advantages:
- Powerful strikes: when a pike attacks your lure with the violence that it is known for, the reactivity of the blank immediately transmits the necessary power to solidly hook the hooks, even the triple hooks of large crankbaits or the robust frames of articulated swimbaits.
- Sensitivity preserved: Despite its raw power, this rod maintains remarkable sensitivity allowing you to stay constantly in sync with your lure during the whole descent and recovery. You perceive the obstacles brushed against, and naturally each touch, even the most timid.
- Precise animation: The fast action facilitates the energetic animations necessary to bring jerkbaits to life.
The W3 Powercast is also a very good caster, even with heavy and bulky lures. Whether you are casting a 20 cm swimbait, a loaded spinnerbait or an imposing glidebait, this rod allows you to reach distant spots with precision. Cover more territory, prospect efficiently over large areas: the Powercast increases your range of action.
Each element has been selected to maximize performance and durability:
- SKS-LS carbon reel seat: ultra-solid reel support and optimal power transmission during tough fights
- Seaguide® TUXBRAG rings: perfect line guidance during casting, resistance to wear and exceptional corrosion even in the face of thick braids, reduction of friction for smooth and powerful throws
- High quality EVA handle: pleasant and durable grip even in wet conditions
- Seaguide® SCDHOOK#6 lure hook: firmly holds your big lures between two casts without damaging the paints
This powerful rod will be able to withstand a pike making violent dashes plunging towards obstacles. The powerful blank absorbs head shakes, the rigid heel provides a good power reserve to gradually force the fish towards the landing net.
