Westin W6 ST5 Fluorocarbon 35m 0.52mm 14.6kg Clear

Westin W6 ST5 Fluorocarbon 35m 0.52mm — Maximum Suppleness for Demanding Leader Applications

The Westin W6 ST5 (Suppleness Tier 5) Fluorocarbon delivers the perfect balance of softness and strength in a 35m spool at 0.52mm diameter and 14.6kg breaking strain — purpose-built for anglers who need a highly flexible, easy-handling leader material without sacrificing abrasion resistance.

Incredibly Abrasion-Resistant, Slim for Its Class

Westin's exclusive production process achieves a notably slim diameter relative to its 14.6kg breaking strain, while maintaining incredible abrasion resistance. Whether you're fishing rocky margins, snaggy margins, or rough saltwater terrain, this line holds up where it counts — protecting your rig without adding unnecessary bulk.

Soft, Low-Memory Construction for Easy Knot Tying

The ST5 rating means this is the most supple option in the W6 range, engineered for maximum flexibility. That softness translates directly into easier knot tying and more reliable knot strength, while low line memory keeps the leader lying naturally without coiling — making it significantly more user-friendly to handle on the bank or boat.
