OUR RODS

Predator rods

Life is pretty simple here at Westin. We just make rods for the kind of predator anglers who want the finest quality available. That way, we don’t need to worry about compromises. We took all our knowledge on carbon and resin behaviour and pulled our many years experience of rod designs, actions and real fishing adventures to create some of the finest rods ever seen. Then we added the very best fittings we could find. Which means when you buy a Westin rod, you’re getting the very latest technologies, materials and fittings available. Like the Fuji guides and reel seats that no Westin rod is without – the very best Japanese quality made in one of the most demanding markets in the world. And like our Torayca® carbon fibres - among the very few that met the rigorous demands of our rod engineers. Westin rods are a luxury built to last and perform, so if you are looking for a rod to give you that extra edge, this is it…

Sea rods

We’ve lived and breathed rod designs and actions since as long as we can remember. We’ve lived and breathed sea fishing. And we’ve even lived and breathed carbon and resin behaviour. So we worked with the very best to create rods we’d love to use ourselves. We scoured the earth for the very finest fittings and settled on Fuji – widely acknowledged to be the best in the world. And after years of searching for the perfect carbon fibres, we finally found Torayca® by Toray® - one of the few that met the scrupulous demands of our rod engineers. You may think that having the best is a luxury. But when that luxury is built to last and perform like a Westin rod, it becomes one of your most basic needs. If you call yourself a sea fisherman, you can’t not own one…

Spin rods

The range of spin fishing rods offer anything from shorter and lighter rods to long, medium action rods for long distance casting. Covering all from small spoons, spinner and wobblers for trout and salmon. We don’t mess about here at Westin. We simply make spinning rods for anglers who want the very best available. That way, everyone knows where they are. So armed with our deep knowledge of carbon and resin behavior we set high standards for carbon fibers and one of the few that met the demands of our rod engineers, we selected Torayca® - which passed every single test we set it. We combed the earth for the very finest fittings and settled on Fuji rings and reel seats from Japan – one of the most demanding markets in the world. Which means, when you buy a Westin rod, you can be assured you’re getting the very latest technologies, materials and fittings available. It may be a luxury, and a beautiful thing to possess. But it’s also built to last and perform.

Fuji – lighter and stronger

Over 40 years ago Fuji introduced the first ceramic rod guides. Since then they have always been one step ahead of their competitors in both design and quality of rod components like guides and reel seats. To enhance rod performance with modern braided lines Fuji’s latest development in guides will prevent tangles as they form and offer less friction. The Fuji reel seats are a benchmark of the industry offering comfort, superior strength, corrosion resistance and great design. This is why Westin rods features Fuji components.


OUR LURES

Predator lures

Predator fishing with Westin lures is the same as fishing with other lures. Except with more fish! When Ingvar Westin was a boy, his father taught him to make special lures by hand that swam with a seductive roll. When Ingvar grew up, he produced those same lures commercially, in more and more styles - and they’ve dominated the decades since then. The range has grown massively over the years, with a Westin tool for all kinds of predators in every fishing situation. Every single one of them goes back to the original concept in Ingvar Westin’s mind when he created the first lure all those years ago:  they have the irresistible “Westin roll” that hooks big predators when everything else fails…

Sea lures

The hard-to-please Scandinavian sea anglers swear by them. Big cod and halibut are enchanted and entrapped by them. Westin seafishing lures are to fish what the song of the siren was to the ancient sailors – guaranteed to lure them to their downfall. Every new product is field-tested by both our Westin test team and by a panel of professional sea fishing guides. If it doesn’t catch, it doesn’t come out of the box a second time. But those that do – hoo boy! Fish after fish after unbelievable fish - huge Atlantic halibut, submarine-sized cod and other record-breaking denizens of the North Sea - get taken in by the lifelike jiggle and wiggle of a Westin lure. The range of Westin Sea Fishing rigs and lures have proven deadly to the biggest species in the waters around Scandinavia. They represent the very latest in fish-fooling technology you won’t need anything else to get a lot of heavy-duty action out there on the ocean.

Spin lures

Famous all over Scandinavia for being among the most seductive, tantalising fish catchers that ever swam, Westin lures are also unparalleled in quality.

OUR BRAIDED LINES

You might be wondering why Westin produce braids with several different specifications. Here you can read about the differences in the construction of our braided lines, and the pros and cons of each. Use this guide to help choose the right line for your style of fishing. All Westin braids are made from Ultra High Modulus Polyethylene (UHMPE) fibres, one of the strongest materials for its diameter available. The difference between how we use this material lies in the very specific selection of the number of carriers (strands) of fibres that make up the braid, and the pic count. The biggest difference in construction between the Westin lines is the number of carriers that make up the braid. The higher the number of carriers the rounder the profile of the braid and the finer the diameter, increasing its performance. A line with a large number of carriers is more complex to braid and must be manufactured much more slowly, hence the higher cost of these lines. If casting distance, feel, and low drag are essential characteristics in your fishing then a braid with a high number of carriers will bring performance benefits. Not quite as important as the number of carriers, but still influencing performance, is the pic count (per inch crosses) of the braid. This refers to the number of weaves per length of line. A high pic count gives a higher knot strength, greater abrasion resistance and a rounder profile. The trade-off is a slightly thicker line with less linear strength compared to a line with a lower pic count. Creating a high pic count line is more expensive because of the slower speed and greater complexity of the braiding process. The Westin W10 and W6 braids have the highest possible pic count for a 12+1-carrier and an 8-carrier line respectively. The W10 has a pic count of 56 and the W6 a pic count of 36.
