Westin W10 Swim & Glide 2nd Baitcasting Rod

When targeting pike with glidebaits, swimbaits, and jerkbaits, precise lure control and enough power to handle big fish are essential. The Westin W10 Swim & Glide 2nd Baitcasting Rod is developed specifically for this style of fishing. Powerful yet well-balanced, it is an excellent choice for smaller waters, canals, and other environments where precise lure presentation matters and a big pike can strike right next to the bank or boat. The Torayca® T1100G + M46X + Nanoalloy® 55 Ton carbon fiber blank provides the power required to cast larger lures while maintaining fast response and excellent feedback from the lure. The W10 Swim & Glide is designed primarily for pike fishing, but its characteristics also make it an excellent choice for anglers targeting big zander. Precise Control for Glidebaits, Swimbaits, and Jerkbaits The W10 Swim & Glide 2nd is developed for lures where rod movement plays a major role in creating the desired action. The fast, well-balanced blank responds immediately to rod movements, making it easy to precisely control the side-to-side action of a glidebait, the sharp movements of a jerkbait, and the natural swimming action of a swimbait. The powerful blank helps you cast large lures efficiently and remains stable under heavy loads. This provides the strength needed for positive hooksets and the authority to control a big pike when it tries to reach vegetation, structure, or other cover. Premium Torayca® Carbon Fiber Blank The rod blank is constructed from Torayca® T1100G + M46X + Nanoalloy® 55 Ton carbon fiber. This advanced construction combines high strength, low weight, and fast response, making the rod comfortable to use even during long days on the water. The 4-axis and 1K carbon-reinforced spigot joint contributes to the blank's durability while maintaining its smooth and responsive action. Premium Fuji® Components Fuji® Titanium Torzite® K-guides are extremely lightweight and reduce line friction during the cast. Their anti-tangle K-frame design promotes smooth line flow while helping keep the rod's overall weight to a minimum. The Fuji® TCH reel seat is constructed from a strong and extremely lightweight carbon-reinforced material. Westin's 360° aluminum locking system keeps the reel securely in place, while the G Hyper Neo Carbon handle with cork details provides an ergonomic and secure grip when actively working your lure. Comfort for Long Fishing Sessions The rear handle of the Swim & Glide model is shaped to provide a stable grip and excellent support against the forearm. This makes casting large lures and actively working them more comfortable while also improving control when fighting fish. Westin recommends pairing the rod with a Westin BC baitcasting reel in size 200 for a well-balanced setup designed for active pike fishing. 10-Year Blank Warranty The Westin W10 series represents the highest level of the manufacturer's rod-building expertise.
