Westin W3 FD Spinning Reel

Description

Westin W3 spinning reels – Strength and performance for uncompromising fishing
When you need a reel that can handle tough conditions and powerful fish, the Westin W3 Spinning Reel is an obvious choice. It is built for anglers who demand strength, reliability, and smoothness in every cast. The construction with a robust aluminium body and side plate provides a stable foundation that holds up even under heavy loads, giving you more cranking power and long-lasting durability.

The high-performance system with 7 ball bearings provides an incredibly smooth retrieve and makes casting easy and precise. The placement of the pinion gear, drive gear, and handle knob is optimised for perfect balance. An instant one-way anti-reverse provides rock-solid hooksets without play, and when a big fish strikes, you can rely on the powerful Carbon Drag system that delivers smooth and controlled drag power – perfect for handling aggressive runs.

The ceramic line roller minimises friction and twist, which is a major advantage when fishing with modern braided lines. From the lightweight aluminium spool, optimised for casting, to the strong CNC-machined handle with a comfortable TPR grip – every detail is designed for performance and durability. Internal components like the stainless steel main shaft provide extra protection against corrosion and tough conditions.

The Westin W3 Spinning Reel is available in sizes from 2000 to 5000 and offers the perfect balance of strength, smoothness, and reliable power for all types of fishing. The 2000 model is ideal for Perch, Trout, Grayling, Char, and Rainbow Trout. The 3000 model is great for Perch, Zander, and Sea Trout, while the 4000 model is built for Pike and Salmon. With the right reel, you can fish harder, longer, and with full control!

Features:

  • 5+1 stainless steel ball bearings for smooth operation
  • Aluminium body and side plate for strength and stability
  • Carbon fibre rotor for low weight and high durability
  • One-piece CNC handle with TPR grip
  • CNC-machined brass gear for precision

Family

Refers to which product family the product belongs to. In many cases, there are matching reels and rods within the same product family. These items are designed to work together.

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.

79 cm
Reel handle side

This indicates which side of the reel the handle is on.

Right, Left
Line included

Whether the reel comes with pre-spooled line or not. If the line is included, just unpack your gear and start fishing!

Not Pre-Spooled
Spool material

Refers to the material the spool itself is made of.

Alloy
Max drag capacity

The maximum number of kilos the reel can brake. The more kilos the reel can handle, the more powerful the drag. When casting heavy lures, like in heavier pike fishing, you want the reel to handle at least 10 kilos of braking strength.

8.0 kg
Rod type

Refers to which type of rod this product pairs with. The most common rod types are spinning rods and casting rods. Casting rods pair with trolling reels, saltwater reels, low-profile reels, and baitcasting reels. Spinning rods pair with spinning reels.
