All have a 5.2:1 gear ratio. The 1000 weighs 182 g, retrieves 62 cm per turn and has 5 kg maximum drag. The 2000 and 3000 weigh 210 and 216 g, retrieve 68 and 74 cm and have 7 kg drag. The 4000 and 5000 weigh 267 and 271 g, retrieve 79 and 85 cm and have 8 kg drag. Choose between lower weight and greater line retrieve, with the smaller end covering ultralight finesse and larger sizes heavier lure work.
Yes. The supplier specifies all-water use, including fresh and salt water, and an IPX5 rating. Coastal sea trout and sea bass fishing are described applications, so the family is not restricted to inland waters. Choose the size for the retrieve, weight and drag your setup requires.
The 1000 is listed at 100 m of 0.148 mm line and the 4000 at 200 m of 0.285 mm line. No capacities are supplied for the 2000, 3000 or 5000. Use the stated diameter and length together when comparing these two spools, and check the missing capacities before choosing another size for a specific line load.
The 5+1 stainless steel bearings support smooth winding, instant anti-reverse prevents backward handle movement, and carbon drag washers deliver even pressure. These features give direct response at the hookset and controlled line release during the fight, while the maximum drag varies from 5 to 8 kg by size.

The Westin W2 spinning reel family covers lure fishing in fresh and salt water, from ultralight finesse to heavier lure work. The light, rigid carbon body and rotor reduce the weight you handle during repeated casting. Stainless steel bearings support smooth winding, while carbon drag washers deliver even pressure when playing a fish. The sensitive feedback helps detect subtle takes.
Each model has 5+1 stainless steel ball bearings and instant anti-reverse, which stops backward handle movement for direct hooksets. A CNC brass pinion gear and zinc drive gear provide the drive, supported by a stainless steel mainshaft. All five sizes have a 5.2:1 gear ratio, but their line retrieve per handle turn differs.
The machined aluminium spool supports line management and casting distance and accuracy. It is single anodized. The aluminium handle provides a secure, comfortable grip during repeated retrieves.
The range spans 1000 to 5000. At the light end, the 1000 supports ultralight and finesse setups. Larger sizes cover heavier lure work, with the trade-off of greater reel weight. Compare line retrieve and drag as well as size when choosing your setup.
| Model | Weight | Retrieve per turn | Maximum drag | | --- | --- | --- | --- | | 1000 FD 5+1BB | 182 g | 62 cm | 5 kg | | 2000 FD 5+1BB | 210 g | 68 cm | 7 kg | | 3000 FD 5+1BB | 216 g | 74 cm | 7 kg | | 4000 FD 5+1BB | 267 g | 79 cm | 8 kg | | 5000 FD 5+1BB | 271 g | 85 cm | 8 kg |
The 2000 and 3000 offer the same maximum drag, with the 3000 retrieving more line per turn at 6 g more weight. The 4000 and 5000 also share a maximum drag rating, with the 5000 retrieving more line per turn at 4 g more weight. Listed line capacities are 100 m of 0.148 mm line for the 1000 and 200 m of 0.285 mm line for the 4000. Capacities for the other sizes are not supplied.
The W2 is rated IPX5 and specified for all water, including fresh and salt water. Its carbon drag accommodates light-line finesse as well as pressure on stronger predators. Supplier applications include perch, trout, pike, zander and asp, with coastal sea trout and sea bass use also described. The 3000 is explicitly described for both shore and boat anglers. Choose the size using the weight, retrieve and drag figures above rather than treating every size as the same setup.
