Westin W6-Bc Baitcasting Reel 51 172g LH 10+1BB

Westin W6-BC Baitcasting Reel 51 — Lightweight Left-Hand Precision for Predator Fishing

The W6-BC (Baitcasting) 51 is Westin's flagship baitcasting reel built for left-hand retrieve, delivering a refined balance of low weight at 172 g and robust construction for versatile predator fishing. Whether you're working finesse softbaits or snapping jerkbaits, this reel keeps up.

Rigid Construction That Handles the Fight

The one-piece aluminium frame with carbon sideplate keeps the reel body stiff and precisely aligned under load, so your gear mesh stays consistent cast after cast. The ION Frame coating adds an extra layer of protection against corrosion and wear, making this reel durable across seasons.

Smooth, Controllable Performance

Ten sealed stainless ball bearings plus one roller bearing deliver fluid, low-friction operation. The internal 6-shoe centrifugal brake system (CBS6) gives you fine-tuned cast control across a wide range of lure weights, while the Multi Stack Carbon drag provides progressive, reliable stopping power when a pike or zander makes a run. The GT-A gearing system and a double-anodised star drag round out a drivetrain built for feel and longevity. The Fast Line Connector on the spool speeds up re-spooling, and the full carbon handle with non-slip rubber knobs reduces fatigue on long sessions.
