The W8 features a rock-solid cold-forged aluminium frame, heat-treated helical gears, and a robust lever drag system that withstands extreme pressure. The oversized 7+2 ball bearing system ensures smooth operation even during prolonged, demanding drills against powerful fish.
The W8 comes in sizes 40, 41, 60, and 61. Sizes 40 and 41 are more compact with 300m line capacity, ideal for lighter presentations. Sizes 60 and 61 hold 400m of line and suit heavier jigging and bigger fish. Choose based on target depth, target species, and your preferred jigging weight.
Left-hand retrieve (LH) winds when you turn the handle counter-clockwise; right-hand retrieve (RH) winds when turning clockwise. Choose based on which hand you prefer to crank during the fight. Many anglers prefer left-hand retrieve to keep their dominant hand free on the rod.
Yes. The W8 features stainless steel ball bearings, a heat-treated stainless steel gear train, and a corrosion-resistant cold-forged aluminium frame. These materials resist saltwater exposure well. Regular rinsing with fresh water after saltwater use is recommended to maintain long-term performance.
The W8 is available with gear ratios of 5.3:1 and 5.8:1. A 5.3:1 ratio (models 60, 61) retrieves slower with more cranking power, ideal for heavy presentations. A 5.8:1 ratio (models 40, 41) retrieves faster, better for lighter jigs and responsive vertical techniques.
The W8 features 7+2 ball bearings. This means 7 oversized shielded stainless steel bearings on the main shaft plus 2 additional bearings elsewhere in the reel. This configuration ensures exceptionally smooth operation and extended bearing life under heavy use.
