Westin W10 PowerStrike-T 2nd are premium baitcasting rods designed for targeting big pike. They combine low weight, high sensitivity and plenty of power, making them comfortable to fish with for hours while still delivering the strength needed for solid hooksets and full control of powerful fish during the fight.
The series is designed for larger hardbaits, ShadTeez and BullTeez lures, hybrid lures and big spinnerbaits. These rods are equally well suited to active casting from boat or bank and to trolling. Available versions measure 244 cm and have casting weights of 30–80 g or 60–140 g.
The blank combines Torayca® T1100G, M46X and Nanoalloy® 55Ton carbon fibres. This construction delivers excellent responsiveness, sensitivity and the power needed to work heavier lures, set the hooks firmly and maintain confident control over a big pike during the fight.
The rods are fitted with a lightweight Fuji® TCH baitcasting reel seat made from carbon-fibre-reinforced material, Fuji® Titanium Torzite® K guides and a handle combining G-Hyper Neo Carbon with cork. The spigot joint is reinforced with 4-axial and 1K carbon, while the non-slip gimbal butt is made from Neo Rubber Cork.
Additional features include a Seaguide® Stainless DHOOK lure keeper, an aluminium reel-seat locking nut and CR guide wraps. Each rod is supplied with a durable PU leather tube featuring a 3K carbon pattern and a rod bag with velour lining. Every rod also carries its own unique serial number.
Westin W10 PowerStrike-T 2nd is aimed at demanding pike anglers looking for a lightweight, powerful and responsive baitcasting rod for larger lures, suitable for both casting and trolling.
