Westin W10 13 Braid 0.26mm 135m 23.9kg Orchid Purple

Westin W10 13 Braid — Orchid Purple, 0.26mm / 23.9kg — Precision-Cast 13-Carrier Braid for Salt and Fresh Water

Built for anglers who refuse to compromise, the Westin W10 13 Braid in Orchid Purple delivers a supremely round, smooth, and strong line at 0.26mm diameter with a breaking strain of 23.9kg — ready for demanding sessions in both salt and fresh water.

13-Carrier CORE Construction for Exceptional Roundness and Strength

Unlike standard 8-carrier braids, the W10 uses a 13X (12+1) UHMPE (Ultra High Molecular Polyethylene) architecture: 12 premium Japanese fibres braided tightly around a central CORE carrier. This produces a uniformly round cross-section that tracks cleanly through rod guides, ties knots with confidence, and resists abrasion far better than conventional braid at this diameter.

Advanced Ultra High PIC Weave and Dura-Coating for Longer, More Accurate Casts

With 56 weaves per inch, the Advanced Ultra High PIC construction delivers a super-smooth surface that minimises guide friction and extends cast distance. The Dura-Coating gel process adds a hydrophobic layer that repels water, reduces surface friction further, and protects the braid from wear. Colour pigment is baked in before the final Dura-Coat seal, giving the Orchid Purple finish outstanding long-term vibrancy.
