Westin W6 Crankstick-T 2nd

Description

The Westin W6 Crankstick-T 2nd Generation is a casting rod built specifically for crankbait fishing. Its Torayca carbon blank and crankbait-specific action are designed to cope with the resistance of deep-diving and high-resistance hardbaits over a full session, while its low weight and 3C-Handle give the kind of direct feedback that keeps you in constant touch with the lure. It suits accurate casting and control of deeper-running cranks when targeting big perch and zander. - Model and configuration: 7'10" (238cm), M Medium, casting (trigger grip) - Casting weight: 5 to 40 grams, covering medium divers through to aggressive hardbaits - Action: crankbait specific action (typically moderate/fast), loading deep for casting distance and absorbing lure resistance and strikes to reduce pull-outs - Sections: 2-piece construction for balance and convenience - Blank technology: 40T + T1100 Torayca high performance carbon, providing casting power and the sensitivity to manage resistance while detecting bites - Handle system: custom-moulded Westin 3C-Carbon Handle (Close Contact Carbon), ergonomically shaped to maximise grip and comfort and improve sensitivity transmission - Guides: Fuji SiC guides, which minimise friction for long casts and durability with braided line - Reel seat: Fuji KSKSS16/ASH reel seat, designed for secure seating of a baitcasting reel and maximum blank contact - Hook keeper: integrated Seaguide TiDHOOK#4 keeper for secure lure storage The 7'10" length and medium power give casting range and the sweep needed for effective crankbait retrieves and long-range hooksets. The crankbait-specific action absorbs vibration and helps prevent fish from tearing treble hooks free during aggressive retrieves, while the 5 to 40 gram range handles the water pressure of deep-diving lips without losing control or feel. Combined with the Torayca blank and 3C-Handle, that adds up to clear feedback on lure vibration and contact with structure, and the low weight keeps the rod comfortable to work for extended periods. It pairs well with a size 100 Westin BaitCaster reel.
