Westin W8 Versiteez 2nd spinning rod

Description

The jigging rod for the true connoisseur. This newcomer in the W8 series has been designed for light and precise fishing with soft baits, but is much more versatile than that. Use the rod when fishing with wobblers, twitchbaits, and all types of bladed jigs. VersiTeez is equipped with an incredibly sensitive blank, allowing you to detect even the most subtle bites. The blank is precise with a lot of backbone for optimal hook-setting properties and an excellent choice for big perch, medium-sized zander, and when the occasional pike joins the game. The secret lies in the TORAYCA® T1100GC blank, allowing small baits to be fished accurately while also being able to handle much heavier baits. The range of lengths means there are rods for the dedicated boat, kayak, and float tube angler, as well as for shore and street fishing. VersiTeez can, as the name suggests, be used for a wide range of techniques. Feel free to combine it with a spinning reel in size 2500 to 3000 for optimal balance and performance.

The choice of a spinning rod is usually determined by casting weight and rod length. Casting weight is the manufacturer’s recommendation for how heavy lures you can fish with. Rod length is often measured in feet (1’ = 30.48 cm). For lighter fishing, like perch or trout, a rod with a casting weight of 5-15g and a length up to 7’ is recommended. For all-round fishing, such as perch, zander, or sea trout, a rod with a casting weight of 10-40g and a length around 7-9’ is ideal.

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.
