Westin W6 8 Braid 0.165mm 8.3kg 135m Lime Punch

Westin W6 8 Braid — Precision-Built 8-Carrier Line for All-Round Lure Fishing

The W6 8 Braid is Westin's flagship braided mainline, engineered from premium Japanese UHMPE (Ultra High Molecular Polyethylene) fibres with an advanced 36-weaves-per-inch construction for outstanding strength, smoothness, and castability in both salt and freshwater.

Advanced High PIC Construction for Strength and Smoothness

The W6 is built using Westin's proprietary "Advanced High PIC" weave — 36 weaves per inch across 8 carriers — which produces a noticeably round, compact profile that is strong for its diameter and resists abrasion better than standard braids. At 0.165 mm and 8.3 kg breaking strain, this is a versatile all-round weight suited to a wide range of lure techniques, delivering consistent knot strength and a smooth, even surface that glides cleanly through rod guides.

Dura-Coating for Long Casts and Lasting Colour

A Dura-Coating gel process gives the W6 a hydrophobic surface that actively repels water, reduces friction, and keeps the line flying off the spool cleanly — even with lighter lures. Colour stability is locked in by soaking the braid in dye tanks before oven-curing the pigment and sealing it under a final Dura-Coat layer. The result is a Lime Punch high-visibility colour that stays bright session after session.

Choose the Right Variant

The W6 8 Braid Lime Punch is available across a wide range of diameters and two spool lengths, so you can match the line precisely to your target species, rod, and reel setup.
