Westin Prizes HFE5!

Jul 3, 2018 | HFE5, News, Prizes

Thanks to Westin Fishing we can give away these amazing rods as prizes for the 5th Hobie Fishing European Championship. Check them out!

W4 UltraStick 7’/210 cm M 10-40 g 2 sec.

The W4 UltraStick combines the three key attributes you want in a rod – its stiff, super sensitive and has a fast progressive action. The only problem with that is, you will never have an excuse to miss a bite again, and these rods are that good at bite detection. They’re not lacking backbone though – you can set the hook hard and extract large fish from cover and weed. Versatility is another terrific strength of these rods – they are just as adept with small and medium-sized wobblers as they are with soft lures.

W4 LightStick 6’6”/195 cm L 3-10 g 2 sec.
The W4 LightStick is designed to target small and middle-sized predators such as perch, zander, trout, black bass and seabass. This rod can be used for a large variety of techniques; fishing with soft lures on light jiheads, spinners, small wobblers, minnows and crankbait and even Dropshot and Texas and Carolina rigs. It’s extremely lightweight thanks to the Japanese ‘TORAY’ High Performance Carbon. You can feel the lure swimming and feel even the most careful takes. We choose small guides for longer casting distance and slim design.

The W3 Finesse T&C (Texas & Carolina) is an excellent rod for all kind of predator fishing with both soft and hard lures. The rod is light and sensitive but fast and powerful enough to set the hook in the hard, bony mouth of any predator! It is perfect for casting soft lures or slowly twitching a Texas or Carolina rig along the bottom. You can use it when pitching small hard lures in shallow water for perch and bass or targeting trout and zander in deeper areas. W3 Finesse T&C is a great all-round tool for light and medium style predator fishing!
