The W10 13 Braid from WESTIN has been developed for anglers looking for the ultimate braided line. Our innovative construction produces a line that combines maximum strength and abrasion resistance with a super smooth surface. Made from premium Japanese Ultra High Molecular Polyethylene (UHMPE) fibers using a 13X (12+1) 12-carrier design woven around a central CORE carrier to produce an extremely round line with improved strength compared to 8X braided lines. W10 braid uses an "Advanced Ultra High PIC" construction with 56 weaves per inch for a smoother surface and increased abrasion resistance. In addition, the tighter weave of "Advanced Ultra High PIC" gives the smoothest surface available for longer, more accurate casts. Casting performance is further enhanced by a Dura-Coating gel process that gives the braid a smoother, hydrophobic surface, reducing water absorption and lowering friction. To achieve maximum color stability, W10 Braid is soaked in dye tanks before being oven cured to bake in the pigment and finally sealed with a dura coat for extended life.
