Westin W6 8 Braid 0.235mm 13.3kg 135m Lime Punch

Westin W6 8 Braid 0.235mm — All-Round Lure Fishing Line Built for Strength and Distance

The Westin W6 8 Braid (Ultra High Molecular Polyethylene) is an 8-carrier braided mainline engineered for lure fishing across both salt and freshwater. At 0.235mm diameter with a 13.3kg breaking strain, this is a capable mid-range option suited to a wide variety of spinning setups and target species.

Advanced High PIC Construction for Exceptional Strength and Surface Quality

The W6 Braid is built using Westin's proprietary "Advanced High PIC" weave — 36 weaves per inch — using premium Japanese UHMPE fibres. This tighter-than-standard construction produces a noticeably round, smooth profile that punches above its weight for diameter, delivering high knot strength and superior abrasion resistance where it counts most: around structure, rocky ground, and through heavy cover.

Dura-Coating Technology for Longer, More Accurate Casts

To push casting performance further, the W6 is finished with a Dura-Coating gel process. This gives the braid a hydrophobic, low-friction surface that sheds water rather than absorbing it, reducing line sag and guide friction on every cast. Colour stability is achieved by soaking the braid in dye tanks before oven-curing to lock in the pigment, then sealing with a final Dura-Coat layer — keeping the Lime Punch colour vivid session after session.
