Westin W6-BC Stealth Gold Baitcasting Reel

Description

The Westin W6-BC 100 HSG LH Stealth Gold is a high-speed baitcasting reel from Westin's premium W6 series, built as a compact, powerful and fast reel for serious predator anglers. The "100" in the name indicates its compact size, "HSG" stands for High Speed Gear, and "LH" specifies a left-hand retrieve model. "Stealth Gold" refers to its black and gold colour scheme. It suits techniques that call for a fast retrieve, such as fishing with jigheads, topwater lures or spinnerbaits. The reel is built on a rigid, one-piece aluminium frame that resists flex and keeps operation smooth under heavy loads, with carbon side plates that hold the overall weight down without sacrificing strength. A 10+1 sealed stainless steel ball bearing system contributes to smooth running on both the retrieve and the cast. An Internal Centrifugal Brake (CBS6) with six shoes gives a high level of control over the spool, helping to prevent backlashes and letting the angler fine-tune the cast for different lure weights and wind conditions. The multi-stack carbon drag delivers smooth, powerful and consistent drag force, and includes a Drag Clicker that produces a clicking sound as line is pulled from the reel — a useful audible indicator during a fight. The HSG (High Speed Gear) designation means a fast 8.1:1 gear ratio, ideal for working lures at speed, taking up slack line quickly or burning a lure through the water column; the GT-A gears are precision-machined for smooth meshing and durability. A full carbon handle with non-slip rubber knobs provides a comfortable, secure grip, and the reel is lubricated with three different types of grease during assembly. - Model: W6-BC 100 HSG LH Stealth Gold - Handle: Left-hand retrieve - Bearings: 10+1 sealed stainless steel ball bearings - Gear Ratio: 8.1:1 (HSG – High Speed Gear) - Line Retrieve: 86 cm per handle turn - Line Capacity: Approximately 135m of 0.285mm line - Weight: 175g - Maximum Drag Force: 11 kg - Frame: One-piece aluminium frame with carbon side plate - Brake System: 6-shoe Internal Centrifugal Brake (CBS6) - Drag System: Multi-stack carbon drag with clicker - Additional Features: - Fast Line Connector spool system - Line View - Stay-On side plate and tension knob - Delivered in a protective hard case
