Westin W3 Deadbait 8-Braid 0.405mm 38.7kg 300m Jungle Jive

Westin W3 Deadbait 8-Braid — Stealthy, Stiff, and Built for Deadbait Fishing

The W3 Deadbait 8-Braid in Jungle Jive is a purpose-built braided mainline for deadbait anglers who need reliable casting performance and natural camouflage in any water. At 0.405 mm diameter with an 85 lb (38.7 kg) breaking strain, this is the heavy-duty option in the range.

Five-Tone Camouflage That Keeps You Undetected

Jungle Jive blends five distinct shades of green through the braid, creating a natural, mottled appearance that mimics aquatic vegetation. Each colour tone is carefully dyed, oven-cured, and sealed with a double gel-coat for lasting colour stability — so the camouflage holds up session after session without fading.

Double Dura-Coating for Stiffer, More Accurate Casts

The Double Dura-Coating technology gives this braid an extra degree of rigidity that is particularly valuable in deadbait setups. Stiffer line exits the spool cleanly, helps prevent wind knots during repeated casts in challenging conditions, repels water effectively, and reduces friction through the guides — all contributing to longer, more accurate delivery of your rig. Constructed from premium Japanese UHMPE (Ultra High Molecular Polyethylene) fibres with an 8-carrier design and 32 weaves per inch, the round profile adds abrasion resistance for fishing around structure, margins, and snags.

Choose the Right Variant

The W3 Deadbait 8-Braid Jungle Jive is available in three diameters to suit different target species, rod setups, and fishing conditions. All variants share the same 300 m spool length, 8-braid construction, and Jungle Jive colour.
