The 201 SSG LH has its handle on the left and fits standard baitcasting rods with a suitable reel seat. Choose it if you wind with your left hand, and match the rod's lure rating to your intended lures because the reel has no stated numerical lure-weight range.
It is intended for freshwater pike, perch and zander fishing, with trout also listed as possible. The 6.6:1 retrieve supports softbait jigging, crankbaits and jerkbaits, and the supplier also mentions trolling jerkbaits. Choose your rod and line for the specific lure rather than assuming a stated casting-weight limit.
No. The adjustable magnetic brake helps control spool speed and reduce tangles across different lure weights. Adjust it when changing lures. During the fight, the separate 6.5 kg Teflon drag controls resistance and the drag clicker provides audible feedback.
Braid and monofilament are both supported. Capacity is 150 m at 0.285 mm diameter, while the supplier suggests 0.15–0.25 mm braid for pike and zander without stating capacity at those diameters. The aluminium spool's Fast Line Connector makes spooling and line changes easier.
Use the included protective hard case for transport and storage. Wipe the reel with a damp cloth after fishing, let it dry and lubricate the line guide and gears regularly with reel grease and oil. The sealed bearings help exclude dirt and moisture, but do not establish saltwater suitability.

The Westin W2-BC is a freshwater baitcasting reel for pike, perch and zander, with trout also listed as a possible target. Its adjustable magnetic casting brake controls spool speed to reduce backlash when changing lure weights. It suits beginners and experienced lure anglers working softbaits, crankbaits and jerkbaits.
The 201 SSG version has a left-hand retrieve (LH), a 6.6:1 gear ratio and a size-200 body weighing 208 g. The handle sits on the left, so choose it according to the hand you use to wind, not simply whether you are left- or right-handed. The ratio provides an even retrieve for active lure work, including softbait jigging and cranking. The supplier also lists trolling jerkbaits as a use.
It fits standard baitcasting rods with a suitable reel seat. Match the rod and line to your lure, as no numerical lure-weight rating is supplied for the reel. The supplier describes use from light softbaits and crankbaits to larger jerkbaits and swimbaits, but does not define the limits in grams.
Adjust the magnetic brake to the lure weight to manage spool speed during the cast. This helps reduce line tangles rather than guaranteeing backlash-free casting. The Teflon drag uses multiple elements for smooth, controllable resistance and is rated at 6.5 kg. A drag clicker gives audible feedback while playing a fish.
Six plus one sealed stainless-steel bearings support smooth running and help keep moisture and dirt out. The reel is factory-lubricated with three different greases. Its ABS frame and side plate combine support with low weight. The supplier specifies an aluminium-steel shaft and a brass pinion for durability in regular use. A forged handle with non-slip rubber grips helps maintain a secure hold with wet hands.
The aluminium spool holds 150 m of 0.285 mm line. Its Fast Line Connector simplifies spooling and line changes at the water. Braid and monofilament are both listed as suitable line types, with the supplier suggesting 0.15–0.25 mm braid for pike and zander. This recommendation is separate from the stated capacity, which applies to 0.285 mm line.
A protective hard case is included for storage and transport. After fishing, wipe the reel with a damp cloth and let it dry. Regular lubrication of the line guide and gearing with reel grease and oil is advised. The supported application is freshwater fishing, not a stated saltwater rating.
