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. Westin - 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 Westin - W6 Braid because of its incredible performance and strength. To achieve higher abrasion resistance and greater strength Westin - 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 colour 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.
