Westin W4 C-SW Spinning Reel

Description

The Westin W4 C-SW spinning reel is built for tough cold-saltwater action, aimed at inshore and nearshore battles. This size 5000 delivers the strength and reliability needed for hard-fighting species, with a sealed drag and bearing system designed to shrug off saltwater rather than seize up because of it. - Size: 5000 - Gear ratio: 5.0:1 – 5.9:1 - Line capacity: 360m x 0.30mm - Hand: Both (convertible) - Bearings: 5+1 sealed stainless steel - Body: Rigid K-Alloy body, Aluminium body and rotor - Drag: Sealed Carbon Matrix - Spool: Double-anodised, braid-ready forged aluminium - Weather sealing: 14 seals, IPX5 rating - Spare spool included: No Where to use it: - Inshore and nearshore saltwater lure fishing for larger species - Heavier jigging for saltwater predators - Rock and shore casting in corrosive coastal environments - Anglers wanting the largest capacity in the C-SW range Even with 14 seals and an IPX5 rating, it is worth giving this reel a quick freshwater rinse after every saltwater session and letting it air dry, which will keep the Carbon Matrix drag running smooth for years longer. Is the W4 C-SW 5000 fully waterproof? It carries an IPX5 water resistance rating with 14 seals throughout, built to resist saltwater intrusion, though a rinse after use is still good practice. Is this reel left or right hand? It is supplied as ambidextrous (Both), so the handle can be set up for either hand. What line capacity does the 5000 hold? Around 360m of 0.30mm line, with an all-aluminium body and rotor for the extra demands of larger species. What is the difference between the 3000, 4000 and 5000 sizes? They share the same build and technology, with the 5000 featuring an aluminium body and rotor (versus graphite rotor on 3000/4000) for the toughest inshore work.
