Westin W6 8 Braid 0.26mm 17.2kg 135m Lime Punch

Westin W6 8 Braid — Precision-Built 135m Braided Main Line for Lure Fishing

The W6 8 Braid in Lime Punch combines premium Japanese UHMPE (Ultra High Molecular Polyethylene) fibers with Westin's Advanced High PIC weave technology, delivering a round-profile, high-strength braided line purpose-built for lure fishing in both salt and freshwater.

Advanced High PIC Construction for Strength and Smoothness

The 8-carrier braid is built with a 36-weave-per-inch (PIC) construction — tighter than standard braids — resulting in a noticeably round, compact profile with exceptional knot strength for its diameter of 0.26mm and a breaking strain of 17.2kg. The dense weave also produces a smooth surface that allows even lightweight lures to be cast with accuracy and distance.

Dura-Coating for Long Casts and Lasting Color

A Dura-Coating gel process adds a hydrophobic, low-friction surface that repels water and reduces line slap through the guides, translating directly into longer, more accurate casts. Color stability is achieved by soaking the line in dye tanks and oven-curing the pigment before sealing with a final Dura-Coat layer — keeping that high-visibility Lime Punch color session after session.
