⭐ WESTIN W6 ROD RANGE
Premium performance rods for serious predator, lure and freshwater anglers
PLEASE NOTE: This is a WOW offer. Which means you get an amazing price, but have to wait for a week or two. See here for more info on how it works.
The Westin W6 rod series is built for anglers who demand exceptional sensitivity, power and casting performance without stepping all the way into the extreme top-tier pricing of flagship rods. The W6 range sits perfectly in the upper-mid to high end of Westin’s line-up, offering many of the qualities found in the elite W8 and W10 rods but at a more accessible level while still providing outstanding performance.
Whether you’re chasing perch, zander, pike, trout or big European predators, the W6 series covers almost every lure fishing style: finesse, dropshot, crankbait, vertical, swimbait, big bait and long-range spinning.
🔥 WHAT MAKES THE WESTIN W6 RANGE SPECIAL?
1. Premium Toray Carbon Blanks
The W6 rods use high-grade Japanese Toray carbon, giving exceptional strength-to-weight ratio, crisp recovery and incredible sensitivity. You feel bottom contact, subtle knocks, line bites and lure behaviour instantly.
2. Lightweight Strength
The rods are remarkably light for their power class. Westin designed them to fish all day without fatigue, even in heavier casting models.
3. Fuji Reel Seats & Guides
Most W6 models use high-end Fuji components, including:
Fuji reel seats for rock-solid grip
Fuji K or L frame guides
Fuji Alconite or SIC inserts
This ensures zero line frap-ups, smooth flow and long-term durability.
4. Advanced Ergonomics
The W6 range is known for some of the most comfortable handles in modern lure rods:
Premium cork
EVA split grips
Custom Westin moulded components
You can fish long sessions with minimal wrist and forearm strain.
5. Balanced for Each Technique
Every W6 rod is built for a specific job — not just a length and casting weight slapped onto a blank. They are specialist tools engineered for perfection.

Westin Chebu Rig With CreCraw R’N R – Ready to Fish Finesse Craw Setup
The Westin Chebu Rig With CreCraw R’N R (Rigged ‘N Ready) is a highly effective finesse presentation designed to replicate one of the most natural food sources in freshwater—crayfish. Combining the flexibility of a Cheburashka rig with the lifelike action of the CreCraw soft lure, this setup is built to trigger bites from perch, zander, and other cautious predators.
Pre-rigged and ready to use straight from the pack, this system removes the complexity of tying finesse rigs while still delivering a natural, highly mobile presentation. The Cheburashka-style weight allows the hook and lure to move independently, creating a more realistic and fluid action compared to fixed jigheads.
Natural Movement That Gets Results
The included Westin CreCraw lure is designed with detailed claws and a segmented body that produces subtle movement, even when the rig is stationary. When combined with the Chebu rig system, this creates a highly natural presentation that mimics a feeding or defensive crayfish on the lakebed.
This makes it particularly effective when fishing slowly along the bottom—exactly where perch and zander expect to find this type of prey.
Rigged ‘N Ready Convenience
As part of the Westin R’N R range, this rig is designed for convenience without compromising effectiveness. It’s ideal for anglers who want a high-performance setup without spending time building rigs, and equally useful for experienced anglers who want a quick-change option during a session.
Simply tie on and fish.
Key Features:
Pre-rigged Cheburashka rig system
Includes Westin CreCraw soft lure
Flexible rig design for natural movement
Realistic crayfish imitation
Subtle, lifelike action
Ready to fish straight from the packet
High-quality components throughout
Ideal For:
Perch fishing
Zander fishing
Finesse lure techniques
Canal and river fishing
Pressured waters
Why Use a Chebu Rig?
The Cheburashka system allows the lure to move freely and naturally, rather than being fixed in place like a traditional jighead. This added movement often makes the difference when fish are hesitant or feeding cautiously.
Combined with a realistic bait like the CreCraw, it becomes a deadly presentation that consistently produces bites in tough conditions.
Summary
The Westin Chebu Rig With CreCraw R’N R is a highly effective, ready-to-use finesse setup that delivers natural presentation, flexibility, and convenience. Whether you’re targeting canal perch or river zander, this rig gives you a proven edge.
A simple, natural, and highly effective finesse rig for consistent predator action.
Westin Tungsten Dropshot Weights – Ultra Sensitive Finesse Fishing Weights
The Westin Tungsten Dropshot Weights are designed for anglers who demand maximum sensitivity and precision when finesse fishing. Manufactured from high-density tungsten rather than traditional lead, these weights are significantly smaller in profile for the same weight, allowing for a more subtle and natural presentation in the water.
One of the biggest advantages of tungsten is its increased sensitivity. Because it is denser and harder than lead, it transmits vibrations far more effectively through the line. This means you can feel every detail of the lakebed—whether you’re fishing over gravel, silt, or weed—giving you a major advantage when targeting wary predators like perch and zander.
The compact size also helps reduce spooking in clear water conditions, making it ideal for pressured venues where fish have seen it all before. The line clip system allows for quick depth adjustment without retying, making it perfect for adapting your presentation on the fly.
Key Features:
High-density tungsten construction
Increased sensitivity vs lead
Smaller, more discreet profile
Quick-change line clip system
Excellent bottom feedback
Durable and environmentally safer material
Ideal For:
Dropshot fishing
Perch and zander
Finesse lure fishing
Clear and pressured waters
A premium upgrade for anglers who want ultimate feel and control.
