Westin W2 Slow Jigging-T 6’4″ MH Max. 250g 1+1sec

Westin W2 Slow Jigging-T 6’4″ MH (Max 250g) – Technical Slow Pitch Mastery

Master the art of the “falling” lure with the Westin W2 Slow Jigging-T, now available at Gerry’s Fishing. Slow jigging is a game of rhythm and nuance, and this 6’4″ Medium-Heavy (MH) powerhouse is engineered to provide the perfect “rebound” for your jigs. By blending 80% 30T and 20% 24T carbon fibre, Westin has created a blank that possesses the ideal recovery speed—stiff enough to lift a 250g jig, but flexible enough to let it “pitch” and flutter naturally on the drop.

Designed specifically for use with overhead (multiplier) reels, the “T” version features a Seaguide XCZS reel seat for maximum palm comfort during long sessions. Whether you are targeting technical species like Pink Snapper and Grouper in the Mediterranean or hunting big Bass in heavy Atlantic tidal flows, the high-modulus carbon construction ensures you feel the “tick” of a bite even at depths of 100 meters. The 1+1 section design (split at the handle) ensures the rod maintains the seamless, powerful curve of a one-piece blank with the added convenience of easier transport.

Technical Specifications

Where & How to Use the W2 Slow Jigging-T

• Deep-Water Slow Pitch Jigging: The 250g max rating is the “sweet spot” for depths of 50m to 120m. It is perfectly tuned for Long-Fall and Half-Pitch techniques, where the rod tip does the work of “launching” the jig before letting it tumble.

• Targeting Demersal Species: This rod excels at enticing bottom-dwellers like Grouper, Snapper, and John Dory. The sensitive 30T carbon allows you to differentiate between the jig hitting a rock and a subtle “inhale” from a predator.

• Heavy Tide Navigation: When the current is ripping, the MH backbone provides the leverage needed to stay in control of your lure without the rod “folding” under the pressure of the water.

💡 Gerry’s Pro Tip

The “Pitch and Pause” Rhythm: Slow jigging isn’t about speed; it’s about the “kick.” Give the reel handle a sharp half-turn and let the rod tip lift the jig. As the rod begins to straighten, stop completely. The W2’s 24/30T carbon blend is designed to “flick” the jig into a horizontal position, allowing it to flutter like a dying baitfish. 90% of your hits will come during that split-second of weightlessness!

Frequently Asked Questions

What does “1+1” section mean?

This means the rod blank is one continuous piece that slots into the handle. This design is superior to a mid-jointed rod because it preserves the perfect parabolic action and structural integrity of the blank—vital when a 10kg fish is trying to dive into a reef.

Can I use a standard spinning reel with this rod?

No, this is the “T” (Trigger) version designed specifically for overhead or baitcasting (multiplier) reels. This setup gives you much better thumb control over the line during the drop, which is essential for detecting bites in slow jigging.

Is 250g the maximum jig weight?

Yes, for optimum performance. While it can handle slightly more in very deep water, 250g is where the rod’s “rebound” is most effective. Using a jig that is too heavy will dampen the rod’s ability to “flick” the lure, which is the key to the slow-pitch style
