Westin W3 Oceanic Swirl 8-Braid 300m 0.26mm 16.5kg 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-carrier saltwater braid engineered from Japanese UHMPE (Ultra High Molecular Polyethylene) fibres, delivering exceptional strength, abrasion resistance, and casting performance in demanding marine conditions.

Metered Colour Pattern for Instant Depth and Distance Awareness

Every 10 metres the line transitions through five distinct colours — Bright White, Smokey Grey, Orchid Purple, Lime Punch, and Dutch Orange — giving you precise visual tracking of your cast, drift, or drop in any light or sea condition. Whether you're counting down a jig or monitoring line angle at distance, the Marine Mix metering takes the guesswork out of your presentation.

Double Dura-Coating for Smoother Casts and Fewer Wind Knots

A hydrophobic double gel-coating process sets this braid apart in real fishing conditions. Each colour segment is soaked in dye tanks, oven-cured, and sealed with a double gel-coat, creating a rigid, smooth surface that repels water, reduces friction against rod guides, and resists wind knots even when casting into strong onshore winds. The round-profile construction with 32 weaves per inch adds abrasion toughness for rocky marks, reefs, and wreck fishing.
