When fishing in remote tropical destinations, there is no room for failures. Our designers were well aware of this when we asked them to develop a rod series that can withstand even the best of reels when the rods are pushed to the max. The Westin W6 Popping rods are designed to cast poppers and battle with GT, rooster fish, cubera snapper, and other tough tropical speedsters. The rods feature high-quality saltwater-resistant EVA handles, Fuji® DPS reel seat, and Fuji® SiC guides. With these rods, you can challenge ultra-strong monster fish, and since they fit in your luggage, you can avoid airline restrictions and any check-in problems at airports.

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