The popular baitcasting rods in the W4 series have now become even better. To make the new generation faster and more sensitive, we have upgraded with a higher quality of resin and Torayca® carbon fiber combined with a new blade construction. This has also improved the achievable casting distance and the feel throughout the rod. Whether you wade, fish from shore, or boat, we know how important it is to sometimes reach a specific spot. Westin W4 Spin 2nd has a progressive medium/fast action that absorbs head shakes and jumps when you fight fish. We have kept the classic and popular handle in premium cork but upgraded to tangle-free Seaguides® XOG rings and a rubberized FUJI® TVS reel seat for optimal performance in all situations.

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.
Medium - Fast
Handle type
Refers to the material the rod’s handle is made of. Cork and EVA (foam) are the most common types.
