Westin W8 Jigging Reel 61 LH — Left-Hand Lever Drag Power for the Deep

The Westin W8 Jigging Reel in size 61, left-hand retrieve, is built for serious anglers who demand maximum cranking power and precise drag control when targeting hard-fighting deep-water predators.

Rock-Solid Cold-Forged Construction

The W8's incredibly rigid cold-forged aluminium frame and side plates eliminate flex under extreme pressure, keeping internal gears perfectly aligned even during the most brutal deep-water battles. Heat-treated, helical-cut stainless steel gears mesh flawlessly for smooth yet powerful retrieves and long-term durability.

Intuitive Lever Drag and Ergonomic Grip

The powerful lever drag system puts precise, repeatable braking at your fingertips — set your strike drag and adjust on the fly without losing control. The unique arced side plate lets you palm the reel securely during prolonged fights, while the custom CNC-machined aluminium handle turns effortlessly under heavy load, backed by a 7+2 oversized shielded stainless steel ball bearing system for exceptional smoothness.
