Westin W8 Jigging Reel

Description

The Westin W8 Jigging Reel 61 is a left-hand retrieve jigging reel built for deep-water fishing, where power and control matter more than finesse. It is designed to handle heavy vertical work, with a rigid frame and a lever drag system that lets you adjust resistance instantly during a fight. - Model: W8 Jigging Reel 61 (Size 60, Left Hand Retrieve – LH) - Bearings: 7+2 oversized, shielded stainless steel ball bearings - Frame construction: cold-forged aluminium frame and side plates - Gearing: heat-treated helical cut stainless steel gear - Drag system: intuitive lever drag controlled - Strike drag: 1.5 – 2 kg - Maximum drag: 20 kg - Handle: CNC aluminium handle - Ergonomics: arced side plate for palming the reel The cold-forged aluminium frame and side plates keep the internal components aligned under load, so the effort you put in goes into the retrieve rather than into frame flex. The 7+2 shielded stainless steel bearings are oversized and built to stay smooth under heavy load while resisting corrosion. The heat-treated helical cut stainless steel gear is engineered for maximum contact, giving a smooth but powerful retrieve and long-term durability. The lever drag gives instant, precise adjustment, with a pre-set strike drag of 1.5 to 2 kg and a maximum drag of 20 kg when locked down. The CNC aluminium handle provides leverage and a comfortable grip during prolonged fights, and the arced side plate lets you palm the reel securely for added control. This is a left-hand retrieve model, suited to anglers who crank with their left hand.
