WESTIN's W3 Boat 2nd has a practical three piece design making this rod suitable for all kinds of trips, whether the destination is a Norwegian sea fishing camp or a tropical island. The second generation W3 Boat rods are stronger and more sensitive thanks to improved blank technology and the incorporation of higher quality Torayca® carbon fibre. The Comfort Cross Gimbal is a great alternative to conventional 'stomach tickling' metal or hard plastic gimbals. It fits perfectly into a battle suit, and even without the armor it's no problem landing a monster or two. The oval XEG guides are some of the toughest saltwater boat guides available and the Torayca® blank offers superior strength and great value for money.
