Westin W10 Vertical Jigging-T 2nd

Description

The Westin W10 Vertical Jigging-T 2nd is a top-class rod built for modern vertical fishing, and its two-handle system is central to how it performs. Switching between the two included handles gives you a platform for multiple techniques without compromising performance: the shorter handle suits heavier vertical and pelagic fishing from the boat, while the longer handle is made for precise casting with cranks, jerkbaits, Swims and spinnerbaits. - Length: 6'4" | Sections: 1+1 | Power: H (Heavy) | Casting range: 28-70g - Handle: G-hyper neo carbon + cork handle (two interchangeable handles included) - Reel seat: Fuji® TCH carbon-fibre reinforced plastic, high strength and ultra-light - Hood: 360° custom-designed screw-down with high-strength aluminium - Guides: Tangle-free Fuji® Titanium Torzite® K guides - Blank: Torayca® T1100G+M46X+'Nanoalloy® 55Ton' carbon blank - Joint: 4-axial and 1K carbon-reinforced spigot joint - Hook-keeper: Seaguide® Stainless DHOOK - Case: Round Cordura tube with matching rod bag included Where to use it: - Vertical jigging for pelagic species from a boat - Casting cranks, jerkbaits, Swims and spinnerbaits with the longer handle fitted - Boat sessions needing one rod for two distinct techniques - Anglers wanting a genuinely dual-purpose vertical/casting rod Swap to the shorter handle before you start dropping jigs vertically over the side of the boat — the reduced length gives much better leverage and control than fishing vertically with the longer casting handle fitted. How do the two handles work? The rod comes with two interchangeable handles — a shorter one optimised for heavier vertical and pelagic fishing from the boat, and a longer one for precise casting with cranks, jerkbaits and spinnerbaits. What baitcaster pairs well with this rod? Westin recommend the W6 200BC or 201BC baitcasters as the ideal partner. Is this rod only for boat fishing? Vertical fishing is primarily a boat technique, but with the longer handle fitted for casting, it's equally capable from the bank. What does the 1+1sec construction mean? It refers to the rod's build with an interchangeable handle section rather than a standard fixed two-piece joint, allowing the two-handle system to work.
