Westin W3 8-Braid 0.26mm 16.5kg 135m Dutch Orange

Westin W3 8-Braid 0.26mm — High-Visibility Braided Line for Confident All-Round Fishing

The Westin W3 8-Braid in Dutch Orange is a premium 8-carrier braid built from Japanese UHMPE (Ultra High Molecular Weight Polyethylene) fibres, delivering a smooth, round profile and reliable strength for a wide range of fishing situations.

Smooth Casts, Precise Control

The round, tightly woven construction with 32 picks per inch creates a uniform surface that flows cleanly through the rod guides, reducing friction for long, accurate casts. Once the lure is in the water, the low stretch inherent in braided UHMPE gives you direct contact and confident hook sets at distance.

Dutch Orange Visibility You Can Count On

The vibrant Dutch Orange colour makes it easy to track line angle, detect subtle takes, and manage slack — especially useful when fishing at range or in low-light conditions. The colour retention is excellent, so the line keeps its characteristic hue through extended use and repeated wetting.
