Product Details and Uses

Westin W8 Powerstrike-T 2nd Generation – 8′ XH (60-180g)

The Ultimate Power Casting Rod for Monster Pike

The Westin W8 Powerstrike-T 8′ XH is the definitive “go-to tool” for the hardcore pike angler who throws big baits. This rod is light enough to cast all day yet possesses the raw, uncompromising power needed to subdue the largest esox you encounter, whether casting from the boat or the bank.

At a balanced 8 feet (2.40m), this rod is optimal for both casting heavy lures long distances and handling large pike boatside. The massive 60–180g rating means you can confidently fish your entire arsenal of big baits: Shadteez, Bullteez, hybrid lures, deep-diving cranks, and massive spinnerbaits.

TORAYCA® T1100GC: Lightness, Strength, and Feel

Our designers set out to build the coolest pike rod on the market, succeeding by incorporating the best available technology: the optimized Toray® TORAYCA® T1100GC & M40JB blank. This blank technology is incredibly versatile and responsive, providing:

Extreme Power, Minimal Weight: The Powerstrike-T is deceptively light, minimizing fatigue during endless casting sessions, yet it delivers more than enough grunt to control and land monster pike.
Tactical Responsiveness: The high-performance blank provides excellent feedback, allowing you to feel your lure working optimally, even at depth or distance.
Unrivaled Hook-Setting: The blank’s powerful backbone ensures immediate, deep hook penetration against the hard jaw of a large pike.

Premium Components for the Toughest Fight

This rod features the finest FUJI® components and high-end detailing:

Reel Seat: Lightweight Fuji® T2C carbon with a trigger grip option (the -T in the name) for maximum control and comfort when casting heavy baits with a conventional reel.
Guides: Tangle-free Fuji® SIC guides are robust and minimize friction, essential for casting heavy lures on thick braid.
Aesthetics: Finished in a striking Mermagic & FE2O3 iron oxide blank colour.

For the ultimate pike fishing partnership, combine the Powerstrike-T with a Westin size 200 or 300 BaitCaster reel.
