Westin W3 Cat Stick 3rd
Price from £ 136.06 View products
The Westin W3 Cat Stick 3rd is the ideal catfish spinning rod for kayak and belly boat anglers and is perfectly designed for vertical fishing. Specifically developed for active fishing techniques from a boat using artificial lures, as well as ‘clonking’ and drifting with worm and baitfish rigs. The short TORAYCA® blank is perfect for battling very large fish and supports the use of both baitcasting and appropriately sized fixed-spool reels. In addition, the rod’s two-piece design makes transportation easy and convenient.
The W3 Cat Stick 3rd offers excellent casting performance with artificial lures weighing between 50g and 160g, and outstanding lure presentation when vertical fishing with jig heads and vertical systems up to 180g. The lightweight and sensitive XH blank transitions into a parabolic curve under heavy load providing exceptional reserves of power during the fight, even when battling trophy-sized catfish. The W3 Cat Stick 3rd is the ideal match for a size 300 baitcaster or a 5000 size or larger fixed-spool reel.

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.
