The 0.43 mm version has a stated breaking strain of 13.75 kg, the 0.47 mm version 15 kg and the 0.52 mm version 17.5 kg. All are Clear and contain 50 m. Choose the strength your setup requires, with a larger diameter accompanying each increase in breaking strain.
It is intended for predator fishing in freshwater and saltwater, particularly shore jigging, vertical fishing and rocky coastal situations. High abrasion resistance suits contact with rocks, reefs and wrecks, while almost no stretch gives direct bite feedback. Select the variant by the required strength, as no diameter-specific species recommendation is supplied.
Yes. The clear formula is described as nearly invisible even in clear water, and the line sinks quickly. These properties make the leader inconspicuous and support jigging or vertical presentations at depth, without claiming complete invisibility or a specific sinking speed.
Some practice is needed because the material is very stiff and almost stretch-free, despite its stated high knot strength. It is primarily aimed at experienced anglers, but those with initial predator-fishing experience can also use it. Allow time to become familiar with knotting this stiff material.
You receive 50 m of fluorocarbon line in the selected diameter and breaking strain, not a finished rig. The spool provides material for several leader lengths, so you can cut the lengths needed for your setup.

Westin W6 St1 Fluorocarbon is clear fluorocarbon leader material for predator fishing in freshwater and saltwater. Its very hard construction and high abrasion resistance suit fishing around rocks, reefs and wrecks, where contact with sharp structure puts leader material under strain.
The line has almost no stretch, providing direct bite indication and hook-setting response for shore jigging and vertical fishing around underwater structure. It sinks quickly, supporting presentations at depth. The clear formula is nearly invisible underwater, including in clear water, helping keep the leader inconspicuous. Compared with conventional monofilament leaders, the supplier describes greater abrasion resistance and much less stretch. High knot and tensile strength are also specified.
Intended uses include rocky coasts, riprap banks, groynes, reefs and wrecks. Listed freshwater species are pike, zander and catfish. Sea applications include cod, halibut and coalfish, while offshore applications also list tuna, marlin, giant trevally (GT), barracuda and swordfish. Match the diameter and breaking strain to the requirements of the setup rather than choosing by species name alone.
All three variants are Clear and contain 50 m of line. They differ in diameter and stated breaking strain:
| Diameter | Breaking strain | Choice within this family | | --- | --- | --- | | 0.43 mm | 13.75 kg | Thinnest option, with the lowest breaking strain | | 0.47 mm | 15 kg | Intermediate diameter and breaking strain | | 0.52 mm | 17.5 kg | Highest breaking strain, with the largest diameter |
Moving up the range gives a higher stated breaking strain at the cost of a thicker leader. Choose the version that meets the strength requirements of your setup. The shared use descriptions do not specify a separate species or technique for each diameter.
The high stiffness and almost stretch-free construction require some practice when tying knots. The material is primarily aimed at experienced anglers fishing demanding conditions, but anglers with some predator-fishing experience can also use it. Each spool supplies 50 m of line in the selected variant, allowing several leaders to be cut to length rather than providing a finished rig.
