WESTIN W6 8 1500 m Braided Line

Achieving the perfect compliment of attributes in a braided line is a kind of alchemy that requires repeated refinement and testing to produce the finished article. W6 Braided line has been developed using a unique construction process for all-round lure fishing. We have utilised premium grade Japanese UHMPE (Ultra High Molecular Polyethylene) fibers in the construction of W6 Braid because of its incredible performance and strength. To achieve higher abrasion resistance and greater strength W6 braid is constructed using a weave specially developed for this line that we call “Advanced High PIC”. This 8X (eight braid carriers) braided line has a 36 PIC construction (weaves per inch) that gives a stronger line for its diameter. In addition, the tighter weave of “Advanced High PIC” gives a smoother surface for longer, more accurate, casts. Casting performance is further enhanced by a Dura-Coating gel process that gives the braid a smoother, hydrophobic surface, reducing water absorption and lowering friction. To achieve color stability, W6 Braid is soaked in dye tanks before being oven cured to ‘bake-in’ the pigment and finally sealed by a dura-coat for improved longevity.
