Westin W6-BC 300 255g LH Star Drag

Westin W6-BC 300 LH Star Drag — Flagship Baitcaster Built for Left-Handed Predator Anglers

The Westin W6-BC (Baitcasting) 300 is the flagship of Westin's baitcasting lineup — a full-aluminium, left-hand retrieve reel engineered for serious predator fishing with a centrifugal brake system and star drag, housed in a hard protective case.

Rock-Solid Full-Aluminium Construction

Unlike the smaller sizes in the W6 range, the size 300 features a fully aluminium frame — no carbon sideplates — delivering maximum rigidity under the load of hard-fighting pike, zander, and large perch. The ION frame coating adds corrosion resistance, while the GT-A gearing and 10+1 sealed stainless ball bearings keep everything running smoothly cast after cast.

Left-Hand Retrieve with Precise Star Drag Control

Designed for left-handed anglers, the W6-BC 300 LH puts the handle on the left side for a natural rod-hand transition after the cast. The double-anodised star drag — paired with a drag clicker — gives you tactile, audible control when a big fish runs. The 6-shoe internal centrifugal brake (CBS6) manages spool speed during the cast, while Stay-On sideplate and Stay-On tension knob keep your settings locked in session after session.
