Westin W2 FD - a spinning reel designed for enthusiasts who value smooth operation, robust construction, and reliable performance. The carbon fiber composite frame and rotor make the reel lightweight and rigid, reducing strain during long fishing sessions and enhancing sensitivity to lure and fish contacts. The internal precise 5+1 bearing system ensures smooth cranking, and the instant anti-reverse eliminates back play, enabling secure hooksets. The front drag system with carbon drag washers provides consistent, delay-free drag performance for both light lines and heavier applications. The machined aluminum spool supports line management and casting performance, and the aluminum handle offers a secure grip. Sizes 1000?5000 cover everything from light lure fishing to more robust lure work.
The reel's carbon fiber frame and rotor combine lightness and rigidity, helping maintain mechanical alignment under load. Five stainless steel ball bearings and one roller bearing support smooth rotation. The 5.2:1 gear ratio provides controlled retrieval and feel for various lures. The instant anti-reverse engages immediately, ensuring precise handle movement and secure hooksets. The overall design is intended for demanding use, where comfort, mechanical precision, and durability are essential.
On the drag side, the front drag system with carbon drag washers delivers smooth and linear drag performance even during prolonged pulls. In the drivetrain, the CNC-machined brass pinion gear combined with the zinc drive gear supports reliable torque transfer and durability. The machined aluminum spool's bevels are designed to promote neat line lay and release, enhancing casting distance and accuracy. The aluminum handle provides a sturdy, comfortable grip and improves power in situations requiring controlled torque.
The reel is available in sizes 1000, 2000, 3000, 4000, and 5000. The line retrieval per handle turn is optimized per size: 62 cm (1000), 68 cm (2000), 74 cm (3000), 79 cm (4000), and 85 cm (5000). The maximum drag force increases with size from 5 kg to 8 kg. The switchable LH/RH handle allows use for both left- and right-handed anglers. Each size features a 5+1 bearing system and a 5.2:1 gear ratio, ensuring consistent feel and control across different lure weights.
Summary: the lightweight and rigid carbon fiber construction, smooth 5+1 bearing system, instant anti-reverse, and front drag system with carbon drag washers form a package that reliably serves various lure fishing needs. The machined aluminum spool and aluminum handle complete the feel and control, and the wide size range makes it easy to choose the right reel for your lure weights.
Recommended use: versatile spinning for various lure weights; the size range from 1000?5000 makes it easy to select an option for light finesse jigging to heavier lure work.
