Description
The Westin W8 Finesse Crank-T 2nd Generation is a specialist casting rod built for anglers who fish hard lures with twitch, crank and walk-the-dog action. It is designed to handle small to medium-sized crankbaits, twitch and search baits, poppers, spooks and prop baits through a full day of fishing. At 7 feet 1 inch (2.16m), the rod offers the manoeuvrability needed for precise lure placement from boat or bank, while the 10–30g rating covers the most popular hard lure sizes. It suits active topwater and subsurface hardbait fishing. The blank is a super-light, well-balanced Toray TORAYCA T1100GC and M40JB construction, tuned specifically for hardbaits. It casts and works treble-hooked lures with ease, letting you feel the wobble of a crankbait or the splash of a popper while staying ready to strike. The low weight and balance allow you to throw and work lures all day without fatigue, and the split handle design adds to the sensitivity, keeping you connected to both lure and fish. The rod uses high-end Fuji components throughout, with a trigger grip for baitcasting reels. - Reel Seat: Lightweight Fuji T2C carbon with a trigger grip (the -T) for casting accuracy, comfort and control with a baitcasting reel - Guides: Tangle-free Fuji SIC guides that minimise line friction for smooth, long casts and reduced wear on braided line - Balance: Matches a size 50 or 100 Westin BaitCaster reel for optimal performance - Model: W8 Finesse Crank-T 2nd Generation - Length: 7'1" (2.16m) - Casting Weight: Medium (M) – 10–30g - Action: Fast - Sections: 2-piece - Handle: Trigger Grip (Casting Rod) - Target Species: Perch, Zander, Pike (Optimized for Hard Lures) - Blank Material: Toray Torayca T1100GC and M40JB - Guides: Tangle-free Fuji SIC guides - Reel Seat: Fuji T2C Carbon - Hook-Keeper: Seaguide arc hook 2.5 - Included: Neoprene Rod Bag and Recyclable Triangular Cardboard Box - Quality: Unique serial number on each rod
