Westin W3 Oceanic Swirl 8-Braid 300m 0.285mm 19.4kg Marine Mix

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

The W3 Oceanic Swirl is a dedicated saltwater 8-carrier braid engineered from premium Japanese UHMPE (Ultra High Molecular Polyethylene) fibres, delivering a confident combination of strength, abrasion resistance, and smooth, long-range casting at 0.285mm / 19.4kg.

Double Dura-Coating for Wind-Knot-Free Casting

A hydrophobic double gel-coating process gives the Oceanic Swirl added rigidity that actively resists wind knots — even when casting into strong onshore winds. The coating also repels water, reduces friction against rod guides, and produces a noticeably smoother surface, all of which contribute to longer, more accurate casts in demanding saltwater conditions.

Metered Colour Pattern for Instant Depth and Distance Tracking

Every 10 metres the line changes colour — cycling through Bright White, Smokey Grey, Orchid Purple, Lime Punch, and Dutch Orange. This metered system lets you count depth precisely when vertical jigging, track drift distance at range, or repeat a productive presentation with accuracy. The colour stability is locked in by soaking each segment in dye tanks, oven-curing it, and sealing it with a double gel-coat for lasting vibrancy.

Choose the Right Variant

The W3 Oceanic Swirl 8-Braid is available in a wide range of diameters and two spool formats — 300m (330yds) spools for single reel fills and 3000m (3300yds) bulk spools for re-spooling clubs or multiple outfits. All variants share the Marine Mix colour pattern and Double Dura-Coating.
