Westin Rod Westin W3 Cat Stick 3RD

The ideal rod for fishing for catfish from a kayak, a float-tube, and for vertical fishing, the Westin W3 Cat Stick 3rd was designed for active fishing from boats.

Its short TORAYCA® blank provides precisely what you're looking for on the water: a real sense of control for casting artificial lures from 50 g to 160 g, but also control during more precise vertical animations with weighted heads and vertical setups up to 180 g. Under pressure, the XH blank works in a parabolic curve and delivers reassuring power reserves against larger catfish, while maintaining the sensitivity needed to feel the setup's work.

The two-piece design makes it easy to transport without sacrificing casting efficiency or fishing action comfort. The Carbon SKS LS reel holder ensures a clean and precise reel hold, with a real plus in direct sensations on touches and combat phases. The EUKWLTSG rings support the line's exit for smooth gliding, while the high-quality EVA handle provides a comfortable grip, even when fights drag on. The Seaguide® SCDHOOK #6 lure holder adds welcomed practicality between two drifts or when changing positions.

This rod is clearly aimed at anglers who practice active boat fishing, clonking or drift fishing with worm and live bait setups. With a size 300 casting reel or a fixed spool reel size 5000 or larger, it really comes into its own for efficiently exploring areas where catfish demand power, control and endurance.
