The Westin W8 Powercast-T 2nd Gen Baitcasting Rod is one of the most versatile and powerful pike fishing rods available today. Designed for anglers who demand maximum performance, sensitivity and control, this rod excels when fishing both from the bank and from a boat.
Built on an ultra-fast Torayca® T1100GC carbon blank, the W8 Powercast-T transmits every lure movement directly to your hands while retaining enough backbone to confidently subdue large, hard-fighting pike. Whether casting jerkbaits, soft plastics or heavier lures, this rod delivers accuracy, power and balance in equal measure.
Premium components such as Fuji® reel seats and Fuji® SiC guides ensure smooth line flow, reduced friction and long-term durability. The lightweight yet powerful construction makes it a perfect pairing with modern baitcasting reels for serious predator anglers.
