Description
A jigging rod par excellence, the VersiTeez was built for fine, accurate softbait fishing, but its real strength is refusing to be limited to one job. Fish it with cranks, twitchbaits and all types of bladed jigs – the incredibly sensitive Torayca® T1100G+M46X+’Nanoalloy® 55Ton’ blank helps you detect even the most delicate bite instead of fishing blind.

Gerry’s Pro Tip
Don’t pigeonhole this rod as ‘just for softbaits’ – its real value is switching seamlessly between jigs, cranks and twitchbaits within the same session as conditions and fish response change.
FAQs
Q: What reel size should I use?
A: Westin recommend a 2500-3000 size reel for optimal balance and performance with this rod.
Q: What’s the difference between the 7’8″ and 8’4″ Versiteez?

Q: What species is this rod aimed at?
A: Big perch and medium zander primarily, with pike also in the mix given the rod’s backbone.
Q: Is this rod suitable for boat fishing?
A: Yes, the range spans lengths suited to boat, kayak, belly boat, bank and street fishing – this 7’8″ version suits the more compact end of that range.
