Westin W10 Finesse Shad 2nd

Description

The Westin W10 Finesse Shad 2nd is a finesse fishing rod built to turn tiny signals into reliable control. It uses Fuji Titanium Torzite guides to reduce friction and weight, paired with a Torayca T1100G+M46X+'Nanoalloy' 55Ton' carbon blank that delivers the sensitivity needed for subtle finesse tactics. - Length: 7'5" | Sections: 2 | Power: MH (Medium Heavy) | Casting range: 10-28g - Handle: G-hyper neo carbon + cork handle, ergonomic custom design - 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 It suits finicky zander in rivers where maximum bite feedback matters, big perch in lakes fished with soft lures, and precise casting and presentation of finesse shads. It is aimed at anglers who want the most sensitive rod in the W10 range for this power class. Over a long session, keep your grip relaxed on the ergonomic G Hyper handle rather than gripping tight, and you will feel far more of what is happening at the lure end. The MH version at 7'5" covers 10-28g, while the XH versions at 7'5" and 9' cover the heavier 12-38g range, so choose based on lure weight and preferred length. Westin recommend a 1500-2500 size reel for optimal balance and performance. The rod is aimed primarily at zander and big perch, where maximum sensitivity converts subtle bites into solid hook-sets. Compared with the Finesse T and C, the Finesse Shad uses Fuji Titanium Torzite guides throughout and is tuned specifically around shad-style softbait presentations, while the T and C is optimised for Texas and Carolina rig work.
