Throwing shads for hours on end is exhausting work, but you forget all about it once you've hooked up with one of the big pike you're after. The Powershad-T 2nd Generation will make your job easier, and once you've got the big bill hooked, the Torayca® high-performance carbon blank will give you total control of the fight. The W4 Powershad-T 2nd Generation rods have a slightly softer tip, with the power reserve in the blank allowing you to really strike effectively, while remaining responsive thanks to the progressive action. The W4 Powershad-T 2nd Generation is designed for soft lures, but is equally at home casting swimbaits, spinnerbaits or any other lure for predators.
