The Westin W2 Finesse Shad Travel is a 4-piece spinning rod for light to medium-heavy lure fishing. The blank is sensitive for good bite registration, while the rod has enough backbone for a direct hook set. This allows you to fish with both hardbaits and softbaits, targeting species such as perch, zander, asp, and trout, as well as medium-sized pike. With its short transport length, you can easily take this travel rod with you.
