Westin W10 13-Braid (Orchid Purple) / 135 m

Maximum Knot and Abrasion Strength Meets a Super-Smooth Surface

The Westin W10 13-Braid in Orchid Purple is a 13-strand braid on a 135 m spool. To be precise, it is a 12+1 construction, with 12 fibres braided around a central core. This gives the line an exceptionally round profile and improved strength compared to 8-strand braids. Combined with additional technologies and the premium Japanese Ultra High Molecular Polyethylene (UHMPE) material, the W10 13-Braid delivers maximum knot and abrasion strength alongside a super-smooth surface.

A Hydrophobic Braid That Casts Exceptionally Well

The Westin W10 13-Braid features an Advanced Ultra High PIC construction with 56 weaves per inch. This contributes to both the very high abrasion resistance and the extremely smooth surface. A smooth surface creates minimal resistance in the rod rings, which increases casting distance as well as accuracy. The Dura-Coating gel process adds a further layer of surface refinement, and it also makes the line hydrophobic, reducing water absorption significantly.

Exceptional Colour Stability

The Dura-Coating process also plays a key role in the very high colour stability of the Westin W10 13-Braid. The colour is bonded to the line through a specialised procedure in which the braid is first soaked in colour tanks and then cured in an oven - effectively baking the pigments in. This ensures the colour pigments bind more effectively, and the coating provides additional protection for a particularly long-lasting colour.
