The W3 Finesse T&C 2nd from WESTIN are excellent rods for all types of predator fishing with both soft and hard lures. These rods are light and sensitive, but fast and powerful enough to put the hook in the hard, bony mouths of any predator! They are perfect for casting soft lures or slowly vibrating a Texas or Carolina rig along the bottom. You can use them when casting small hard lures in shallow water for bass and bass, or when fishing for trout and zander in deeper areas. W3 Finesse T&C 2nd Generation rods are great all-round tools for light and medium predator fishing!
