Westin W4-BC Baitcasting Reel 51 186g LH 7+1

Westin W4-BC Baitcasting Reel 51 — Smooth Left-Hand Casting for Predator Fishing

The Westin W4-BC (Baitcasting) 51 in left-hand retrieve gives predator anglers a compact, lightweight reel built around a rigid one-piece aluminium frame and a well-engineered feature set. At just 186 g, it punches above its weight without sacrificing durability.

Built Tough, Running Smooth

The W4-BC 51 is constructed around a rigid one-piece aluminium frame paired with a carbon sideplate, keeping weight low while maintaining the frame stiffness needed for precise lure control. Seven sealed stainless-steel ball bearings plus one roller bearing deliver fluid, vibration-free retrieves cast after cast, backed by GT-B gearing and a Multi Teflon Stack drag for consistent pressure across the fight.

Smart Casting Control at Your Fingertips

The internal 6-shoe centrifugal brake system (CBS6) lets you fine-tune cast distance and minimise backlash without opening the sideplate, while the Stay-On sideplate and Stay-On tension knob stay securely in place during intense sessions. A Fast Line Connector on the spool speeds up re-spooling, and the drag clicker keeps you informed when a fish makes a run. The CNC-machined handle with non-slip rubber knobs rounds out a reel designed for confident, fatigue-free casting.
