Westin W8 Jigging Reel 60 — Lever Drag Power for Deep-Water Battles

Built for anglers who refuse to compromise, the Westin W8 Jigging Reel (size 60, right-hand retrieve) delivers the strength, smoothness, and control needed to subdue the biggest predators from the deep.

Rock-Solid Construction That Holds Under Pressure

The cold-forged aluminium frame and arced side plates form an exceptionally rigid foundation that eliminates flex even under the most brutal loads. This keeps the internal gears in perfect alignment throughout a fight, ensuring maximum cranking power is transferred efficiently every time. Heat-treated helical cut stainless steel gears mesh flawlessly, producing a retrieve that is both powerful and remarkably smooth.

Lever Drag Precision and Ergonomic Control

The intuitive lever drag system puts instant, graduated braking force at your fingertips — critical when a hard-running fish demands split-second adjustments. A strike drag setting of 1.5–2 kg and a maximum drag of 20 kg give you the full range needed for serious jigging. The 7+2 oversized shielded stainless steel ball bearings ensure silky operation under load, while the custom CNC-machined aluminium handle and uniquely arced side plate let you palm and work the reel comfortably during prolonged fights.

The W8 Jigging Reel is available in two body sizes and both retrieve hands, so you can match the reel precisely to your target species and jigging style.
