Westin W6 ST5 Fluorocarbon 50m 0.19mm 2kg Clear

Westin W6 ST5 Fluorocarbon 50m 0.19mm — Supremely Supple Leader for Light-Line Precision

The Westin W6 ST5 (Suppleness Tier 5) Fluorocarbon delivers maximum flexibility in a near-invisible 0.19mm diameter, giving light-tackle anglers exceptional knot strength and low line memory in a single 50m spool.

Maximum Flexibility, Exceptional Knot Strength

Rated ST5 at the top of Westin's suppleness scale, this fluorocarbon is engineered for maximum flexibility rather than stiffness. The exclusive production process achieves a smaller diameter without sacrificing knot or tensile strength — so dropshot rigs, finesse setups, and small-lure presentations hold secure even under pressure from hard-fighting fish.

Low Memory, Fast-Sinking Clarity

With noticeably less line memory than typical fluorocarbon leaders, the W6 ST5 straightens quickly off the spool and handles cleanly. Being 100% fluorocarbon it sinks fast and is virtually invisible underwater — an advantage when targeting wary species in clear water. Abrasion resistance adds confidence when fishing near rocks, gravel, or submerged structure.

Choose the Right Variant

The W6 ST5 range spans ultra-fine freshwater diameters to heavy offshore leaders, all sharing the same ST5 supple construction. Match diameter and spool length to your target species and setup:

• W6 ST5 Fluorocarbon 50m 0.14mm 1.3kg — ultra-light freshwater; small stream trout, perch on micro-lures

• W6 ST5 Fluorocarbon 50m 0.17mm 1.7kg — light freshwater/saltwater; finesse drop-shot, small predators

• W6 ST5 Fluorocarbon 50m 0.19mm 2kg — light freshwater/saltwater; finesse presentations, drop-shot, small perch and trout leaders

• W6 ST5 Fluorocarbon 50m 0.219mm 3.2kg — general light predator; perch, zander, bass drop-shot

• W6 ST5 Fluorocarbon 50m 0.26mm 4.3kg — medium predator; zander, pike-perch, bass

• W6 ST5 Fluorocarbon 50m 0.30mm 5.9kg — medium-heavy all-round leader

• W6 ST5 Fluorocarbon 35m 0.343mm 7.7kg — heavier lure fishing, pike traces

• W6 ST5 Fluorocarbon 30m 0.38mm 9.2kg — salt/fresh; heavier pike, big zander

• W6 ST5 Fluorocarbon 25m 0.44mm 11.1kg — saltwater/coarse; pike, big predators

• W6 ST5 Fluorocarbon 35m 0.52mm 14.6kg — freshwater/saltwater; pike, big catfish leaders

• W6 ST5 Fluorocarbon 35m 0.62mm 25kg — heavy saltwater/pike; shock leader, big-game traces
