Features & Angler Benefits

• Extra Heavy Power (XH): The robust 20-50g casting weight means this rod is packed with punch, ideal for launching medium to large lures effectively. It provides the necessary backbone to fight large predators like pike, medium salmon, and coastal sea bass or cod.

• Compact Power (71): The 7-foot, 1-inch length is optimally sized for boat and kayak fishing, offering superior leverage for fighting fish and maximum control for lure manipulation in tight quarters.

• Sensitive Yet Powerful Blank: Built on a 24/30 tonne High Performance Carbon blank, the rod delivers a unique combination: the power needed for heavy casting and fighting, alongside an ultra-sensitive action that enables you to feel every flutter and movement of the lure.

• Travel-Friendly Design: The 4-section construction ensures the rod breaks down into a small, convenient package for travel, while its performance is uncompromising, maintaining the feel of Westins legendary design standards.

• Premium Components: Features a secure VSS (screw down) reel seat for locking down the reel. It is outfitted with durable Seaguide SXQHRAG premium guides for smooth line flow and longevity, and a comfortable Premium grade AAA grade Cork handle.
