Westin W10 Vertical Jiging 2nd Baitcasting Rod

Modern vertical and pelagic fishing requires a rod that combines sensitivity for precise lure control with the power needed for fast hooksets and fighting large fish. The Westin W10 Vertical Jigging 2nd Baitcasting Rod takes versatility a step further with two interchangeable handles included. With the short handle fitted, the rod is ideal for efficient vertical and pelagic fishing from a boat, while the longer handle transforms it into a versatile casting rod. The Torayca® T1100G + M46X + Nanoalloy® 55 Ton carbon fiber blank combines excellent sensitivity with impressive power reserves. Lure movements and subtle contacts are transmitted clearly to your hand, while the blank has the backbone required for positive hooksets and confident control over powerful fish. Two Handles for Greater Versatility The W10 Vertical Jigging 2nd comes with two handles of different lengths, allowing you to adapt the rod to the fishing situation. The shorter handle is specifically designed for vertical and pelagic fishing from a boat. Its compact design makes it easier to control the lure precisely directly beneath the boat or when targeting individual fish located with sonar. With the longer handle fitted, the rod also performs exceptionally well for active casting from a boat or shore. The same rod can then be used with crankbaits, jerkbaits, swimbaits, and spinnerbaits. Torayca® Blank for Precise Targeted Fishing Maintaining excellent contact with the lure is especially important when vertical and pelagic fishing. The Torayca® T1100G + M46X + Nanoalloy® 55 Ton carbon fiber blank efficiently transmits even subtle signals to the angler and enables highly precise lure control. At the same time, the powerful blank provides the strength required for positive hooksets and confident control during the fight. The 4-axis and 1K carbon-reinforced spigot joint adds strength while preserving the blank's sensitive and responsive action. Premium Components for Active Fishing Fuji® Titanium Torzite® K-guides are extremely lightweight and reduce line friction. Their anti-tangle K-frame design promotes smooth line flow during both casting and vertical fishing. The Fuji® TCH reel seat is made from a strong and exceptionally lightweight carbon-reinforced material. The 360° aluminum locking system keeps the baitcasting reel securely in place even under heavy loads, while the G Hyper Neo Carbon handle with cork details provides a lightweight, ergonomic, and secure grip. Well Balanced with a Size 200 Baitcasting Reel Westin recommends the W6 200BC or 201BC baitcasting reel for the W10 Vertical Jigging 2nd. A reel in this size class creates a well-balanced setup for both vertical fishing and casting with the longer handle fitted. Thanks to the two interchangeable handles, the rod can be adapted to different fishing situations throughout the day without requiring you to carry a separate rod for every technique. 10-Year Blank Warranty The blanks in the Westin W10 series are covered by an extended 10-year warranty against defects in materials and workmanship for the original owner.
