Westin W2 Spinning Reel 3000 FD 5.2:1 216g 7kg 74cm

Westin W2 Spinning Reel 3000 FD — Lightweight Control for Predator Fishing

The Westin W2 3000 FD (Front Drag) is a mid-sized spinning reel built for dedicated predator anglers who demand smooth performance, low weight, and reliable stopping power across fresh and salt water.

Carbon Construction That Reduces Fatigue

The W2's carbon body and rotor keep the reel exceptionally light at just 216 g, without sacrificing rigidity. On long sessions — whether working soft plastics for perch or burning spinners for pike — that weight saving translates directly into less arm fatigue and better bite detection. The enhanced sensitivity of the carbon frame carries even the subtlest takes straight to your fingertips.

Drag and Drive System Built for Hard Fights

Five stainless steel ball bearings plus one anti-reverse bearing deliver a noticeably fluid retrieve at a 5.2:1 gear ratio, pulling in 74 cm of line per turn. The instant anti-reverse locks the moment a fish strikes, giving you a solid hookset with zero back-play. Carbon drag washers supply up to 7 kg of smooth, consistent pressure — enough to handle hard-running zander, pike, or sea bass without hesitation. The CNC brass pinion gear and zinc drive gear ensure the drivetrain stays precise under load.

Choose the Right Variant

The W2 series covers sizes 1000 to 5000, so you can match the reel to your target species and technique. All variants share the same carbon body, 5+1 stainless bearings, aluminium spool, and instant anti-reverse.
