Westin W2 Spinning Reel

Description

The Westin W2 4000 FD Spinning Reel is a mid-sized reel built for dedicated lure anglers targeting predators such as Zander, Pike, and larger Perch from both bank and boat. Its 4000 size sits in the sweet spot for medium-heavy lure fishing, balancing versatility with enough capacity for confident casting and retrieval. The reel is constructed around a feather-light yet rigid carbon body and rotor, which keeps overall weight down to reduce fatigue during long sessions while improving rod sensitivity. This design transmits subtle takes directly to the angler's fingertips. With an IPX5 rating, the W2 is certified to handle heavy spray, making it suitable for both freshwater and coastal saltwater environments. Internally, the reel runs on a precision 5+1 stainless steel ball bearing system, ensuring a fluid retrieve through the durable aluminium handle. The combination of a CNC brass pinion gear and zinc drive gear delivers consistent torque for retrieving heavier lures and fighting larger fish. The instant anti-reverse engages without delay for solid hooksets, while the carbon drag system provides smooth, consistent stopping power under pressure. - Size: 4000 FD (Front Drag) – versatile mid-size, perfect for medium-heavy spinning and lure fishing - Bearings: 5+1 – stainless steel ball bearings for smooth and corrosion-resistant operation - Body/Rotor: Carbon – feather-light and rigid construction for reduced weight and enhanced sensitivity - Gearing: CNC brass pinion / zinc drive – precision gears ensuring reliable power and long-term durability - Drag System: Carbon drag washers – ensures smooth, powerful, and consistent drag performance - Water Resistance: IPX5 rating – protects internal components against water, ideal for all-water use - Spool: Single anodized aluminium – expertly machined for optimal line lay, improving casting accuracy and distance - Mainshaft: Stainless steel – provides internal strength and excellent resistance to rust and corrosion - Handle: Durable aluminium handle – secure and comfortable grip for high-confidence cranking Line capacity: - 0.30 mm: 190 m - 0.35 mm: 150 m
