Westin Fat Bite Crankbait 5.5cm 0.3–0.8m 8g

Westin Fat Bite Crankbait — Compact Rattling Crankbait for Shallow-Water Predators

The Westin Fat Bite (5.5 cm, 8 g, Fire Perch) is a stocky floating crankbait built to trigger perch, trout, and pike in the tightest, shallowest spots where bigger lures simply can't reach.

Chunky Body, Strong Vibrations

The Fat Bite's deliberately plump ABS plastic body displaces plenty of water for its size, generating pronounced wobbling action and strong vibrations on a straight retrieve. That wide, rolling body profile reads as a fleeing baitfish even at slow retrieve speeds — ideal when fish are lethargic or pressure is high.

Built-In Rattle for Extra Attraction

Inside the body, rattle balls produce acoustic signals that travel through the water column, drawing in predators from beyond visual range. Combined with the detailed Fire Perch paint scheme, this crankbait appeals to a fish's senses of sight, sound, and feel simultaneously. A stop-and-go retrieve — pausing so the lure floats back up — gives predators a perfect moment to strike as the lure kicks back into action.

Choose the Right Variant

The Fat Bite Floating is available in two body sizes and a range of colours. Pick the size that matches your target species and water type, then dial in the colour to suit conditions.
