Westin W6 8 Braid 0.165mm 8.3kg 1500m Lime Punch

Westin W6 8 Braid — 1500m Bulk Spool for Serious Lure Anglers

The Westin W6 8 Braid in 0.165mm / 8.3kg delivers a refined blend of strength, smoothness, and casting performance — built for anglers who want a dedicated lure fishing line on a high-capacity 1500m (1640yds) bulk spool.

Advanced High PIC Construction for Strength and Smoothness

The W6 is built from premium Japanese UHMPE (Ultra High Molecular Polyethylene) fibres woven with Westin's proprietary "Advanced High PIC" process — 36 weaves per inch across 8 carriers. This tight, round-profile construction punches well above its diameter class in both abrasion resistance and knot strength, while the smooth surface supports long, accurate casts even with lighter lures.

Dura-Coating for Lasting Performance

A dedicated Dura-Coating gel process bonds a hydrophobic layer to the braid, reducing water absorption and lowering friction across guides. Colour pigment is baked in before the final Dura-Coat seal is applied, so the Lime Punch visibility colour holds up through extended use rather than washing out after a few sessions.

Choose the Right Variant

The W6 8 Braid is available in two spool sizes — 135m (150yds) for topping up or single-reel loads, and 1500m (1640yds) for spooling multiple reels economically — across a wide diameter range. Match diameter to your target species and technique:

• W6 8-Braid 1500m 0.08mm 3.7kg — ultralight drop-shot, micro-jigging, small stream trout/perch

• W6 8-Braid 1500m 0.10mm 3.8kg — light finesse lure fishing, rivers and canals, small predators

• W6 8-Braid 1500m 0.128mm 5.5kg — balanced all-round light spinning, perch, zander, trout

• W6 8-Braid 1500m 0.148mm 6.8kg — medium spinning, zander and pike on lighter setups, estuary bass

• W6 8-Braid 1500m 0.165mm 8.3kg — versatile all-round lure fishing, pike, bass, zander; suits medium spinning and baitcasting reels

• W6 8-Braid 1500m 0.205mm 10.6kg — heavier pike/bass setups, larger soft baits and jigs, light saltwater

• 135m versions available from 0.08mm to 0.33mm for single-reel spooling or testing a diameter

• Heavier 135m options (0.235mm–0.33mm / 13.3–24.9kg) suit large pike, predator jigging, and saltwater species
