Westin Spinning Rod Westin W3 Powerstrike 3RD

The ultimate weapon for dominating predators like pike and zander: the W3 Powerstrike 3rd offers you the precision and power needed to turn every touch into a winning fight.

Technical analysis & sensations: built on a high-performance Torayca® carbon blank with a fast action, this rod delivers an ultra-fast response and exceptional hooking capacity. The fast action concentrates energy at the tip to detect the slightest vibration and transmit it instantly, while the rigid tip and the heart of the blank provide the necessary control against a combative pike or zander. On the water, one feels a fine sensitivity that allows you to perceive the subtle touches of soft lures; the stiffness of the blank guarantees a dry hooking and a controlled fight without losing stability.

Design and components: the SKS-LS carbon reel seat optimizes energy transfer and reduces weight at the heel, the EUKTLTSG rings ensure smooth and resistant thread passage, and the Seaguide® SCDHOOK#6 lure holder secures your setups. The high-quality EVA handle provides long-lasting comfort and excellent grip for long sessions.

The expert's advice: use this W3 Powerstrike to animate jerkbaits in twitch/jerk motions, soft lures in linear recovery or when scratching near the bottom. It also excels with softbaits in nervous animation to trigger reflex attacks. Target structured areas, weedbeds and rocky edges, in spring and autumn when predators are looking to feed. Pair it with a sensitive braid with a fluorocarbon leader for control on pike and zander.
