Westin W2 Salmon-T 12’H Up To 70g 3sec

Westin W2 Salmon-T (Trigger) Rod – 12′ H (Up to 70g) – 3 Sections

The Westin W2 Salmon-T (Trigger) 12′ H is a high-performance baitcasting rod engineered for anglers who prefer maximum control and power when targeting hard-fighting salmon and sea trout. This rod is built to handle the rigorous demands of casting heavy lures and managing aggressive fish in strong river currents, with a focus on powerful fishing in a slightly shorter, more maneuverable length.

Featuring a practical three-section design, this long, heavy rod remains highly portable without compromising the strength, progressive action, and responsiveness needed for landing trophy fish.

Features & Angler Benefits

• Heavy Power (H): Rated for lures Up to 70g, this rod delivers the serious strength and backbone required for casting large, heavy spoons, wobblers, and plugs, and for controlling aggressive salmon in fast-moving water.

• Specialized Baitcasting Setup: Designed with a trigger grip handle, this rod is intended for use with a baitcasting (multiplier/low-profile) reel, providing precise handling, enhanced casting accuracy, and maximum torque during the retrieve and fight.

• Progressive Action (12′): The powerful yet responsive 24/30 tonne High Performance Carbon blank delivers a progressive action. This action ensures smooth power transfer from the tip through the butt section, essential for absorbing head shakes and sudden runs, preventing hook pulls on large fish.

• Optimized Length (12′): The 12-foot (approx. 3.66m) length is crucial for achieving excellent casting distance and superior line control—allowing you to mend line, keep it off the water, and steer the fish effectively, while being slightly easier to handle than the 13′ model.

• Premium Components: Features a secure XCZS reel seat (baitcasting style). It is outfitted with durable Seaguide® SXQRAG premium guides ideal for thick main lines and minimizing friction. The handle is made from Premium AAA grade cork for a secure, comfortable grip.

Ideal Fishing Applications for the 12′ H Salmon-T

The 12′ length, H power, and baitcasting (Trigger) handle make this rod highly specialized:

1. River Salmon Fishing: Ideal for covering wide expanses of water and casting heavy lures (up to 70g) to deep pockets in fast currents for large salmon and steelhead.

2. Heavy Lure Baitcasting: Perfect for anglers who prefer the direct feel and casting control of a baitcasting setup for working large spoons and plugs.

3. Traveling Salmon Angler: The 3-section design allows for easier transport of this otherwise very long rod, making it suitable for trips to premier salmon rivers.
