Westin W3 Powershad-T 3rd Generation Baitcasting Rod
The W3 Powershad-T 3rd Generation is a powerful and versatile baitcasting rod series designed for the all-round predator angler who regularly fishes with heavier and larger lures.
Built on an upgraded Torayca® High Performance Carbon blank, this third-generation Powershad-T delivers a fast, responsive feel while retaining the proven medium-fast action that made the original models so popular. The result is excellent lure control, crisp hook-sets, and outstanding bite detection — even when fishing bulky soft plastics, swimbaits, or large hard lures.
The heavier models in the W3 Powershad-T range are ideally suited to modern pike fishing, where larger baits and powerful hook-sets are essential. The blank provides ample backbone for driving hooks home at distance, while still offering enough forgiveness to safely play hard-fighting fish.
Fitted with durable Seaguide® TUXQLSG guides for smooth casting performance and a comfortable high-quality EVA handle, this rod is designed for long sessions of active baitcasting without fatigue. When paired with a size 200 or 300 baitcasting reel, the Powershad-T becomes a perfectly balanced setup for serious predator anglers.
