Westin W2 Spinning Reel 5000 FD 5+1BB 271g

Westin W2 Spinning Reel 5000 FD — Lightweight Carbon Power for Heavy Lure Work

The Westin W2 5000 FD (Front Drag) is built for anglers who target larger predators with heavier lures — delivering a feather-light carbon frame with the stopping power and smooth retrieve to match serious fishing situations.

Carbon Body, Zero Compromise

The W2's carbon body and rotor cut weight without sacrificing rigidity, keeping fatigue low during long sessions. Every turn of the aluminium handle feeds through a precision 5-bearing system for a silky, effortless retrieve that makes working big lures a genuine pleasure. Enhanced sensitivity ensures subtle takes register instantly.

Drag and Anti-Reverse You Can Trust

The carbon drag system delivers smooth, consistent pressure under load — whether you're finessing lighter lines or leaning on a hard-fighting predator. The instant anti-reverse engages the moment a fish strikes, eliminating back-play and giving you solid, confident hooksets every time. The CNC brass pinion gear and machined aluminium spool round out a drivetrain built for reliability season after season.
