Westin W3 Oceanic Swirl 8-Braid 300m 0.235mm 12.3kg Marine Mix

Westin W3 Oceanic Swirl 8-Braid 300m — Metered Saltwater Braid Built for Distance and Control

The W3 Oceanic Swirl is a premium 8-strand braid engineered specifically for saltwater anglers who need both precision and power on every cast. This 300m spool in 0.235mm / 12.3kg (27lbs) PE2.0 hits a versatile middle ground — strong enough for mid-range sea species, refined enough for accurate work.

Double Dura-Coating for Smooth, Wind-Knot-Free Casting

The Double Dura-Coating process gives this line added rigidity and a hydrophobic gel finish that repels water, reduces friction, and delivers a noticeably smoother surface. That extra stiffness is a real advantage when casting into onshore winds — it actively resists wind knot formation, keeping your session productive even in demanding coastal conditions.

Metered Colour Pattern for Instant Depth and Distance Reading

Every 10 metres the colour shifts through five distinct shades — Bright White, Smokey Grey, Orchid Purple, Lime Punch, and Dutch Orange — giving you at-a-glance awareness of exactly how much line is out. This metered Marine Mix pattern is invaluable for vertical jigging, counting down lures, or managing drift distances without guesswork.
