Westin W4-BC Baitcasting Reel 201 MSG 206g Left

Westin W4-BC 201 MSG — Left-Hand Baitcaster Built for Serious Predator Fishing

The Westin W4-BC (Baitcaster) 201 MSG is a size-200 left-hand retrieve reel engineered for anglers who demand rigid construction, smooth drag, and precision braking when targeting hard-fighting predators.

One-Piece Aluminium Frame for Uncompromising Rigidity

The W4-BC 201 is built around a robust one-piece aluminium frame paired with a carbon sideplate, keeping the gear train perfectly aligned under load. Combined with a stainless steel shaft and GT-B gearing, the reel delivers consistent cranking power whether you're burning a crankbait or slow-rolling a large softbait.

Precision Braking and Silky-Smooth Drag

A 6-shoe Internal Centrifugal Brake System (CBS6) gives you fine, repeatable cast-control adjustments without opening the sideplate — ideal for dialling in lures across a wide weight range. The Multi Teflon Stack drag ensures steady, progressive pressure on runs, while the drag clicker keeps you informed when line is leaving the spool. Seven sealed stainless ball bearings plus one roller bearing (7+1) keep every retrieve fluid and friction-free.

Choose the Right Variant

The W4-BC series covers a broad range of predator techniques. Select the size and configuration that matches your target species and lure style:

• W4-BC 201 MSG LH 7+1 (Left-hand, size 200) — the current model; well-suited to medium lures such as softbaits, crankbaits, and lighter jerkbaits targeting pike, zander, perch, and bass; left-hand retrieve for right-handed casters

• W4-BC 50 — compact size for light lures and smaller predators such as perch and trout

• W4-BC 100 — versatile mid-size option for a wide range of lure weights and species

• W4-BC 300 — full aluminium frame (body and sideplate); heavy-duty choice for large jerkbaits and big-water pike or bass fishing
