Westin W3 Boat 3rd Gen Rod

Description

The Westin W3 Boat 3rd Generation 7′ XH (20-30lbs/150-400g) is a heavy-duty travel rod built for offshore and deep-sea fishing. Its three-piece design makes it easy to transport, so it suits anglers travelling to destinations such as Norwegian fishing camps or remote tropical waters without giving up fish-fighting performance. This updated model uses an improved Torayca® high-performance carbon blank, which adds strength and sensitivity compared with the previous generation. That combination lets it handle significant loads while still transmitting the feedback needed to detect deep-water bites. - Model: W3 Boat 3rd Gen (Heavy Duty) - Length: 7′ (2.10m) - Power Class: Extra Heavy (XH) - Line Rating: 20–30 lbs - Casting/Lure Weight: 150–400g - Sections: 3 sec (Travel) - Blank Material: Torayca® High Performance Carbon blank - Action: Heavy/Progressive - Reel Seat: Fuji DPSH - Guides: Seaguide TUXEOG + TUXSRAT - Handle Material: High quality EVA - Gimbal: Comfort Cross Gimbal The 20–30lb class rating and 150–400g casting weight give the rod the power to work heavy jigs, pirkers and baits in deep water, and to fight large game fish such as large cod, coalfish and smaller halibut. The Comfort Cross Gimbal offers a more comfortable alternative to traditional hard plastic or metal gimbals: it fits securely into a fighting harness for maximum leverage during prolonged fights, and provides a stable, non-slip base when used without one. The Fuji DPSH reel seat and Seaguide TUXEOG + TUXSRAT guides deliver smooth line management and durability under heavy loads, including with thick braided lines. The 7′ length, XH power and travel-friendly build suit it to deep-water jigging and pirk fishing, where vertical jigging with heavy metal jigs or weighted soft baits up to 400g targets cod, coalfish and large bottom dwellers, with the backbone to work those lures and pump powerful fish up from the depths. It is equally at home in heavy bottom fishing, using heavy lead and bottom rigs for large sea predators in strong currents, where the rod's power keeps the rig under control and delivers reliable hook-sets in deep, challenging environments. For anglers fishing varied locations that call for a strong, reliable and easily portable rod, the three-piece construction keeps transport convenient without compromising heavy-duty performance.
