Description

Westin W2 spinning reels – Light, strong and built for precision
The Westin W2 Spinning Reel is created for anglers who want a reel that combines smoothness, strength and reliable performance – cast after cast, season after season. The feather-light but incredibly stiff carbon fibre body and rotor significantly reduce weight, allowing you to fish longer without tiring. The advanced construction provides improved sensitivity, so that even the most cautious bites are felt right in your fingertips.

With an internal system of 5 ball bearings, you get a silky smooth retrieve and even operation that makes spin fishing a joy. The instant anti-reverse eliminates play and provides solid hooksets every time, while the powerful Carbon Drag system delivers even and consistent pressure – perfect for everything from thin lines to hard-fighting predators.

Every detail is designed for sport fishing: the machine-milled aluminium spool provides optimal line management and long, precise casts, and the durable aluminium handle provides a secure grip even in tough conditions. Internal components like the stainless steel main shaft provide extra durability against corrosion and wear.

The W2 Spinning Reel is available in sizes from 1000 to 5000, making it perfect for everything from ultra-light finesse fishing to heavier predator sessions. The 1000 and 2000 sizes are ideal for perch, trout, grayling, char and rainbow trout. The 3000 model is great for perch, zander and sea trout. For larger predators, the 4000 size targets pike and salmon, while the 5000 model is perfect for salmon, coalfish, cod and pike. Choose the W2 and fish with confidence – a reel built to enhance every moment by the water.

Features:

  • 5+1 stainless steel ball bearings for smooth operation
  • Carbon fibre body and rotor for low weight and strength
  • CNC-milled brass pinion gear and zinc drive gear
  • Carbon fibre drag washers for smooth drag power
  • IPX5 rating for protection against water intrusion
  • Single-anodised spool for durability
  • Stainless steel main shaft for a long lifespan
  • Suitable for both freshwater and saltwater

Fish species
Here, we’ve categorized the products based on which fish you want to hook. We’ve relied on what manufacturers specify, but also on experience of what usually works. The list could almost be endless, and many things work for more species than we’ve listed, so don’t be afraid to experiment.
Pike, Salmon
Suitable line

Refers to which line is primarily suited to the product. The most common types of lines are braided lines and monofilament lines.
Braided, Mono
Gear ratio

What is gear ratio?
The term gear ratio, or 'gear ratio' in English, is a value that indicates how many laps around the reel’s spool the line goes per crank. A normal gear ratio is around 5.0:1 and up, meaning the spool rotates five times per crank. A fast gear ratio (high speed) is typically around 6.5:1, meaning 6.5 spool rotations per crank. Such a reel can be great when fishing for sea trout on the coast, as trout often like a bit of speed on the lure. In modern spin fishing, there are also reels with super-fast gear ratios, over 7.5 spool rotations per crank, used with certain lures that benefit from being fished very quickly.

Are you a beginner and want better control over the lure you’ve cast? Use a reel with a slightly lower gear ratio, around 5.0:1.
5.2:1
Line retrieved per crank

Refers to how many centimeters of line are wound onto the spool per crank. The higher the gear ratio on the reel, the faster you retrieve the line.
