The W3 Bass Finesse Crank-T 2nd from WESTIN has a specially designed blank that compensates for the lack of stretch in braid. This is great news for plug fishing fans who are well aware of the benefits of the stretch and density that fluorocarbon lines normally provide - now you have the best of both worlds! You can throw and work those plugs all day long and this rod will take it like a man, but also has a wonderfully sensitive feel thanks to its low weight and split handle, which means you always stay in contact with the blank. It's like a 'spidey sense' for plug fishing! Don't blame us if you get too used to how well it controls your fishing, it won't be like that with every rod!
