The Westin W3 8-Braid in Dutch Orange (0.285 mm / 19.4 kg) is a smooth, round 8-strand braid made from Japanese UHMPE fibres, offering reliable casting performance and high visibility on a 300 m spool.

Westin W3 8-Braid — All-Round Braided Line with High-Visibility Dutch Orange

The Westin W3 8-Braid in Dutch Orange is a premium 8-strand braided line built from Japanese UHMPE (Ultra-High Molecular Weight Polyethylene) fibres, engineered for anglers who demand reliable performance across a wide range of fishing situations.

Smooth, Round Profile for Longer, More Accurate Casts

The round, tightly woven construction — 32 picks per inch — ensures the line flows smoothly off the spool, reducing friction for extended casting distance and pinpoint accuracy. The consistent profile also beds evenly on the reel, minimising tangles and improving overall line management.

Stay-Visible Dutch Orange with Excellent Colour Retention

The vibrant Dutch Orange finish is easy to track throughout the retrieve, helping you detect line movement, bites, and drift at a glance. The colour is built to last — even after extended use in demanding conditions — so visibility remains consistent throughout the life of the line.

Choose the Right Variant

All variants share the same 300 m spool, 8-carrier UHMPE construction, and Dutch Orange colour. Choosing the right diameter depends on your target species, technique, and gear rating:

0.285 mm / 19.4 kg — PE 3.0 — light-to-medium all-round braid; well suited to predator fishing for pike, perch, and zander with lures up to medium weight
0.305 mm / 22.1 kg — PE 3.5 — a step up for heavier lures or stronger currents while keeping a slim profile
0.33 mm / 23.2 kg — PE 4.0 — versatile mid-range diameter for mixed predator fishing and heavier jigging
0.37 mm / 34.6 kg — PE 5.0 — suitable for large predators and trolling or deep jigging applications
0.405 mm / 38.7 kg — PE 6.0 — heavy-duty option for big-fish targeting and demanding conditions
0.45 mm / 41.1 kg — PE 7.0 — maximum strength for the heaviest setups, catfish, or saltwater applications
