Westin began in 1952 in Skutskaer, near Gaevle on Sweden's Baltic coast, when toolmaker Ingvar Westin carved a swimming fish lure as a toy for his children. Local pike anglers noticed that the oversized bait, named Jaette (Swedish for giant), rolled side to side like a wounded fish and drew the biggest pike in the lakes, rivers and brackish water nearby. Ingvar put the lure into production, and the rolling action it introduced is still known as the Westin roll. The company is now headquartered in Alleroed, Denmark under Fairpoint Outdoors A/S, and builds a full European predator program: lures, rods, reels, lines and terminal tackle.
The rod range is organised as a quality ladder keyed by W-number, from the value-focused W2 tier through W3, W4, W6 and W8 to the flagship W10. From W3 upward the blanks are rolled from Torayca carbon and fitted with Fuji guides and reel seats; the W10 tier adds X5 carbon layer construction with a 4-axial woven outer reinforcement. Series repeat up the ladder, so a PowerTeez zander rod or a Monsterstick-T big-bait rod exists at several price points with the same intent and progressively better materials. The catalog covers shore and boat lure fishing for pike, zander and perch, plus dedicated salmon, sea trout, catfish, deadbait and Nordic boat-jigging designs.
What Westin is known for
European predator rods sold as a six-tier ladder (W2 to W10) in which the same design repeats at rising quality, so the PowerTeez shad-and-jighead zander series or the 5XH-class Monsterstick-T big-bait rods can be bought at several price points. Torayca carbon and Fuji componentry define the upper tiers. Beyond spin and baitcast predator work the range runs to salmon, sea trout, catfish and sturgeon rods, UK-style pike deadbait rods rated by test curve, and Nordic boat-jigging blanks. The Jaette pike lure of 1952 and the Westin roll action remain the brand's calling card on the lure side.
