Westin W3 8-Braid 0.305mm 22.1kg 135m Dutch Orange

Westin W3 8-Braid 0.305mm — High-Visibility Allround Braid for Confident Casting

The Westin W3 8-Braid (Ultra High Molecular Weight Polyethylene) in Dutch Orange is a premium, allround braided line built from Japanese UHMPE fibres, engineered to perform across a wide range of fishing styles and conditions.

Round Profile, Smooth Performance

The W3 8-Braid's smooth, round cross-section glides cleanly through rod guides, enabling long, accurate casts with minimal friction. The tight 8-carrier construction with 32 picks per inch produces a supple, consistent diameter that loads reels evenly and transmits bite sensitivity directly to your hand.

High-Visibility Dutch Orange Colour

The vivid Dutch Orange finish makes it easy to track line angle, detect subtle takes, and manage slack — particularly useful in deep-water, pike, or predator fishing where reading line movement is critical. Excellent colour retention means the braid stays visible through extended use without fading.
