These reels deliver a \u003cstrong\u003ecombination of power, style and performance\u003c\/strong\u003e, and come in \u003cstrong\u003e4 sizes\u003c\/strong\u003e with \u003cstrong\u003edifferent gear ratios\u003c\/strong\u003e - so there is a suitable model for every method and every target species, whether you are drop shotting for perch with finesse rigs, vertical jigging for zander, or working large jerkbaits for pike.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eInnovative Features for Stable, Reliable Performance\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDuring the development of the \u003cem\u003eWestin W4 Metallic Trooper Baitcast LH\u003c\/em\u003e, particular attention was paid to \u003cstrong\u003edurability and strength\u003c\/strong\u003e. The reel is built around a \u003cstrong\u003erobust, one-piece aluminium frame\u003c\/strong\u003e with a carbon side plate - and in the 300 sizes, a full aluminium frame throughout. This frame protects the precisely tuned \u003cem\u003eGT-B gearing\u003c\/em\u003e, which delivers a \u003cstrong\u003esmooth, consistent retrieve\u003c\/strong\u003e. Several further features contribute to the \u003cstrong\u003estable and reliable performance\u003c\/strong\u003e of the reel while adding genuine practical convenience. The patented \u003cem\u003eFast Line Connector spool system\u003c\/em\u003e lets you attach your line to the spool quickly and accurately. The \u003cem\u003eLine View function\u003c\/em\u003e, built into the fixing screw of the CNC handle, gives you a handy reminder of the line strength you have spooled up. \u003cstrong\u003eOptimised casting performance\u003c\/strong\u003e comes from the \u003cem\u003eCBS6 6-shoe centrifugal brake\u003c\/em\u003e combined with a finely adjustable cast control, allowing you to dial in the baitcaster precisely for the lure weight you are using. The \u003cstrong\u003edrag clicker\u003c\/strong\u003e on the star drag is another practical touch in action: it produces an audible sound when line is given, letting you play the fish with even greater control.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003e3 Different Greases for Lubrication\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWestin has taken an equally thorough approach to lubricating the \u003cem\u003eW4 Metallic Trooper Baitcast LH\u003c\/em\u003e, selecting \u003cstrong\u003e3 different greases\u003c\/strong\u003e for different components. The braking system uses a grease with a particularly high melting point to withstand the heavy friction generated when a fish takes line. For the gearing, the priority is a grease that is neither too thick - which would compromise a smooth retrieve - nor too thin, which would cause it to wash out too quickly; the grease chosen here strikes exactly that balance. The anti-reverse bearings are lubricated with a cold-resistant grease to ensure full performance even at low temperatures.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eSSG, MSG and HSG\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe \u003cem\u003eWestin W4 Metallic Trooper Baitcast LH\u003c\/em\u003e is available in \u003cstrong\u003e3 gear ratio variants\u003c\/strong\u003e. \u003cem\u003eSSG\u003c\/em\u003e denotes the \u003cstrong\u003eslow gear ratio\u003c\/strong\u003e models, \u003cem\u003eHSG\u003c\/em\u003e the \u003cstrong\u003ehigh gear ratio\u003c\/strong\u003e models, and \u003cem\u003eMSG\u003c\/em\u003e sits in the middle - \u003cstrong\u003ethe compromise between fast and slow\u003c\/strong\u003e. The low-ratio \u003cem\u003eSSG models\u003c\/em\u003e are particularly well suited to \u003cstrong\u003ehigh-resistance lures\u003c\/strong\u003e such as crankbaits, spinnerbaits and chatterbaits, as well as any technique that calls for a slow, deliberate retrieve. The high-ratio \u003cem\u003eHSG models\u003c\/em\u003e are the right choice when you need a \u003cstrong\u003efast, snappy retrieve\u003c\/strong\u003e and want to pick up slack line quickly - as in jigging, twitching and jerking. Both SSG and HSG are available in size 51, 101 and 301. The \u003cstrong\u003eall-round\u003c\/strong\u003e \u003cem\u003eMSG\u003c\/em\u003e sits between the two extremes for anyone who wants an \u003cstrong\u003eespecially versatile baitcaster\u003c\/strong\u003e: it is never the optimum choice for either extreme, but it performs well across both slow and fast retrieves. The MSG variant is available exclusively in size 201.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch4\u003eKey Features:\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan\u003eBaitcaster\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan\u003eMultiple gear ratios and sizes available\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan\u003eA suitable model for every method and target species\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan\u003eAluminium frame with carbon side plate (51, 101, 201)\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan\u003eFull aluminium frame (301)\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan\u003eGT-B gearing\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan\u003eCBS6 6-shoe centrifugal brake\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan\u003e7+1 sealed stainless steel ball bearings\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan\u003eFast Line Connector spool system\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan\u003eLine View function\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan\u003eMulti Teflon Stack star drag\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan\u003eDrag clicker\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan\u003eStay-On side plate\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan\u003eStay-On tension knob\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan\u003eStainless steel shaft\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan\u003eCNC handle with non-slip rubber grips\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan\u003eSupplied in a protective hard-shell case\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Westin","offers":[{"title":"SSG 51 BC \/ 6.6:1","offer_id":47630258176346,"sku":"SW36222","price":171.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"HSG 51 BC \/ 8.1:1","offer_id":47630258307418,"sku":"SW36222.4","price":170.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"SSG 101 BC \/ 6.6:1","offer_id":47630258209114,"sku":"SW36222.1","price":171.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"HSG 101 BC \/ 8.1:1","offer_id":47630258340186,"sku":"SW36222.5","price":171.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":false},{"title":"SSG 301 BC \/ 5.6:1","offer_id":47630258241882,"sku":"SW36222.2","price":189.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":false},{"title":"HSG 301 BC \/ 7.3:1","offer_id":47630258372954,"sku":"SW36222.6","price":171.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0548\/9197\/0669\/files\/Westin-W4-BC-SSG-LH-Metallic-Trooper-05.jpg?v=1759437752","url":"https:\/\/www.pikeandperch.eu\/products\/westin-w4-metallic-trooper-baitcast-lh","provider":"HechtundBarsch.de","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
