The W3 Boat 2nd has a practical 3-piece design that makes the rod perfect for all types of trips, whether the destination is a Norwegian sea fishing camp or a tropical island. The second generation of W3 Boat offers improved strength and sensitivity, thanks to the enhanced technology in the blank and the incorporation of higher quality Torayca® carbon fiber. A Comfort Cross Gimbal makes fighting fish much more comfortable than puncturing your belly with a metal or hard plastic end butt. It fits perfectly in a rod belt, but even without protection, it's possible to land a heavyweight or two without any issues. The oval XEG guides are among the toughest saltwater guides on the market, and the Torayca® blank provides superior strength and a lot of rod for the money.

Rod action
Are you a beginner looking for a new rod? Check out the rods in the Medium and Medium-Fast categories. These rods bend a bit more than the so-called 'fast' rods, which simplifies both casting and fighting ability if a fish bites.
More about rod actions Action is a term for how the blank bends when pressure is applied to the tip and is described in English as follows:
Extra Fast (Ultra Fast): means the tip bends much more easily than the rest of the blank, which is relatively stiff.
Fast: bends just over a third of the blank.
Medium-Fast: bends about half of the blank.
Medium (Moderate): bends about 3/4 of the blank.
Slow: describes a parabolic bend of almost the entire blank.
Common simplified Swedish terms to describe action are tip-, half-, and full-action.
Different actions suit different fishing. 'Extra Fast' and 'Fast' provide more feel to the lure and faster hooksets, but the stiff blank reduces fighting ability and doesn’t offer the same 'slingshot effect' on casts as 'Medium' and 'Slow' actions.
Slow
Handle type
Refers to the material the rod’s handle is made of. Cork and EVA (foam) are the most common types.
