ST5 is Westin's highest flexibility grade, at the opposite end of the scale from stiff ST1 material. The supple structure, high knot strength and low memory make knots easier to tie and reduce unwanted coiling, including for anglers with less tying experience.
It is leader material for tying your own leaders, supplied as 35 m in Clear. The diameter is 0.73 mm and the breaking strain is 27.7 kg (61 lbs), so you can check those specifications against your intended setup before tying.
Yes, the supplier specifies freshwater and saltwater use. Named applications include large pike plugs and softbaits, zander fishing near the bottom, coalfish jigging and tuna or marlin trolling. Its suppleness and abrasion resistance suit these leader applications, but it is not presented as reel-filling main line.
The clear, 100% fluorocarbon material is nearly invisible underwater and exceptionally abrasion resistant. Low visibility is useful in clear water, while abrasion resistance helps with contact against stones, shells and structures. Its fast sinking also supports subsurface and bottom-oriented presentations.

Westin W6 ST5 Fluorocarbon is leader material for predator fishing in freshwater and saltwater. Its soft ST5 construction combines high knot strength with low memory, making leaders easier to tie and handle while allowing lures to move naturally.
Westin's stiffness scale runs from ST1, the stiffest grade, to ST5, the most flexible. W6 ST5 prioritises suppleness and easier knot tying rather than a stiff leader. Its lower memory compared with conventional fluorocarbon leaders reduces unwanted coiling when the material is unspooled. This also makes it manageable for anglers with less leader-tying experience.
The clear material is 100% fluorocarbon and nearly invisible underwater, useful in clear water. Its exceptional abrasion resistance helps withstand contact with stones, shells and underwater structures. High tensile strength supports use with strong predators. The line sinks quickly, supporting presentations below the surface and close to the bottom.
Supplier-supported freshwater uses include pike fishing with large diving plugs and softbaits, bottom fishing for zander and static catfish fishing. Sea applications include Baltic cod fishing, jigging for coalfish and trolling for tuna and marlin. Halibut, giant trevally (GT), barracuda and sea bass are also named target species. The supple leader is intended for lure fishing where low visibility, strength and abrasion resistance matter, including situations with strong sea currents.
This Clear version provides 35 m of leader material with a diameter of 0.73 mm and a breaking strain of 27.7 kg (61 lbs). It is material for tying leaders, not a finished rig. These specifications identify the supplied version for matching to your setup.
