Westin W8 VersiTeez 2nd
Price from 501.45 € View products
The jigging rod par-excellence this newcomer to the Westin line-up, has been designed for fine and accurate fishing with softbaits, but is much more versatile than just that. Use it when fishing cranks, twitchbaits, and all types of bladed jigs, the VersiTeez is equipped with an incredibly sensitive blank, enabling you to detect even the most delicate bite. The crisp action of the blank with plenty of backbone to set the hook makes this a great choice for big perch and medium zander, perhaps with pike in the mix too. The secret is in the Torayca® T1100GC blank, which enables small lures to be fished accurately, whilst still being able to handle much heavier baits. The range of lengths mean there is a rod here for the dedicated boat, kayak, and belly boat angler, along with bank and street fishing devotees. The VersiTeez, as the name suggests, can serve a wide range of applications. Combine them with a 2500 to 3000 size reel for optimal balance and performance.
Reel seat: Fuji® T2C carbon
Guides: Tangle free Fuji® SIC guides

Today Westin Fishing Tackle offers a wide range of trusted lures, rods and other fishing equipment – all produced with the same passion for perfection as Ingvar Westin’s original lure, and created to satisfy those looking for the best tools to pursuit monster fish.
Ingvar Westin grew up in the fertile fishing grounds north of Stockholm. There, he plied his trade as a skilled toolmaker, creating intricate carvings and devices for artisans in the nearby cities. Ingvar lived a humble life, so when his children wanted a new toy, he decided to create one himself.
Soon, Ingvar began work on a carved, wooden fish that wriggled and rolled in the water just like a real fish. Ingvar spent countless hours refining the toy to get a perfect, lifelike action that he knew would thrill his children. In the process, he inadvertently created a new swimming motion, the Westin roll. When Ingvar’s work was complete, he christened that toy the “Jätte” — Swedish for “giant.”
Word of Ingvar’s creation spread quickly in the small town of Skutskär. Wedged between the Baltic Sea and the River Dalalven, the town— which even today is home to just 6,000 people— could be called fishing obsessed. In no time at all, local fishermen were obsessed with Ingvar’s toy. They noticed that large pike seemed to be irresistibly attracted to the wooden carving and its rolling action, and they began clamoring for Ingvar to put hooks on the Jätte and allow them to fish with it.
Soon, a cottage industry developed, and Ingvar transitioned from a toolmaker to a lure maker with a bustling production line fueled by the prolific pike waters of Sweden.
By the time stories of a 45 lbs pike caught on a Jätte began circulating in 1977, Ingvar Westin’s lure was known throughout Scandinavia as the go-to big predator lure.
Since then, the Westin Jätte has deceived some of the biggest, wiliest old pike in Sweden. What started out as a child’s plaything in 1952 has now become a well-established and trusted brand in the fishing tackle industry.
Today Westin offers a wide range of trusted lures, rods and other fishing equipment – all produced with the same passion for perfection as Ingvar Westin’s original lure, and created to satisfy those looking for the best tools to pursuit monster fish worldwide.
