ST5 is the maximum-flexibility level on Westin's ST scale, compared with maximum stiffness at ST1. The soft material makes knots easier to tie and tighten, including the supplier-listed Palomar and improved clinch knots, even at 0.80 mm diameter.
Yes, both uses are explicitly supported. The supplier lists pike, zander and catfish, saltwater jigging for cod, saithe and halibut, and offshore use for tuna, marlin, giant trevally and barracuda. This 0.80 mm, 30 kg version is particularly highlighted for pike with large artificial lures.
You receive a 35 m spool of Clear leader material, not a finished rig. Its diameter is 0.80 mm and its stated breaking strain is 30 kg, so you can cut lengths for your own leader setups.
Low memory reduces the tendency to coil or twist after unspooling. This keeps the material easier to handle during frequent rig changes, continued use and cold-weather fishing.
The clear, 100% fluorocarbon material is nearly invisible underwater because its refractive index is close to water's. It also sinks quickly, combining low visibility for wary fish with support for lure presentation at depth.

Westin W6 ST5 Fluorocarbon is clear, 100% fluorocarbon leader material for predator fishing in freshwater and saltwater. Its soft ST5 formulation makes knots easier to tie and tighten, even at the supplied 0.80 mm diameter. The 35 m spool has a stated breaking strain of 30 kg.
Westin's exclusive production process combines high knot and tensile strength with a relatively small diameter for its breaking strain. ST5 denotes maximum flexibility on the ST scale, where ST1 denotes maximum stiffness. The supplier identifies ST5 as the softest option in Westin's range. Palomar and improved clinch knots are among the supported knot choices.
Low memory reduces coiling and twisting after unspooling and during continued use. This helps with handling when changing rigs frequently or fishing in cold conditions.
The transparent Clear material has a refractive index close to that of water, making the leader nearly invisible underwater for wary fish. It sinks quickly to support lure presentation at depth, while high abrasion resistance is useful in demanding saltwater conditions.
The supplier lists pike, zander and catfish for freshwater use and specifically highlights pike fishing with large artificial lures. Saltwater applications include jigging for cod, saithe and halibut, as well as offshore big-game fishing for tuna, marlin, giant trevally (GT) and barracuda.
This version provides 35 m of Clear leader material with a diameter of 0.80 mm and a breaking strain of 30 kg. It is supplied on a spool for tying your own leaders, rather than as a finished rig.
