Summary

Robust salmon combo for baitcasting in rivers with strong current. Combines a powerful 13' rod and dependable low-profile reel.

Productinformation

This combo is built for anglers targeting salmon and sea trout in fast-flowing rivers with a baitcaster. The 13' Westin W2 Salmon-T rod in 70 g class gives long, controlled casts with heavy spoons, spinners and wobblers, while still loading nicely for precise presentation along edges and currents.

The strong 24/30T High Performance Carbon blank has a progressive action that spreads the pressure evenly, helping you turn hard-fighting fish without feeling harsh or unstable. The trigger handle and XCZS reel seat keep the low-profile reel firmly in place and give secure grip for accurate casting, even with wet hands. Premium Seaguide® SXQRAG guides and AAA cork handle are chosen for regular use in demanding conditions.

The Abu Garcia Max 5 - 400 LH adds solid cranking power and reliable drag. Duragear™ brass gears and the Power Stack Carbon Matrix™ drag system cope well with heavy lures and powerful runs, while the MagTrax™ braking system helps keep casts controlled and reduces the risk of overruns when throwing weighty salmon lures.
