FC DOWNSTREAM #5 40G BLACK/FLOURO ORANGE/SILVER BLADE
incl. VAT, excl.
The Westin FC (French Concept) Downstream is a purpose-built spinner for fishing with the current, not against it. At 40g with a #5 blade, this version reaches the depths where big fish hold in fast, heavy water.
Most spinners struggle when fished with the current — they lose depth and spin erratically. The FC Downstream solves this with a smaller French blade and a specially shaped lead-free weight that keeps the lure tracking straight and at the right depth even when the current is working in the same direction as the retrieve. Instant blade activation means it starts working the moment it hits the water.
The hook system is designed for quick, tool-free swaps on the riverbank — useful when a hook is damaged mid-session or you want to switch hook size. The lure comes supplied with two BKK ultra-sharp hooks and is built from non-toxic body materials with a lead-free weight, making it a responsible choice for catch-and-release fishing in sensitive environments.
The FC Downstream range covers four weight classes across two blade sizes, with silver and copper blade finishes and a range of body colour combinations. Match weight and colour to your river conditions:
#4 20g (Flouro Yellow/Silver, Flouro Orange/Silver, Flouro Yellow/Copper, Flouro Orange/Copper, Black/Flouro Yellow/Silver, Black/Flouro Orange/Silver, Black/Flouro Yellow/Copper, Black/Flouro Orange/Copper) — Light, shallow runs and smaller rivers; silver blade for bright conditions, copper for coloured water
#4 25g (Flouro Yellow/Silver, Flouro Orange/Silver, Flouro Yellow/Copper, Flouro Orange/Copper, Black/Flouro Yellow/Silver, Black/Flouro Orange/Silver, Black/Flouro Yellow/Copper, Black/Flouro Orange/Copper) — Mid-depth runs and moderate currents
#4 30g (Flouro Yellow/Silver, Flouro Orange/Silver, Flouro Yellow/Copper, Flouro Orange/Copper, Black/Flouro Yellow/Silver, Black/Flouro Orange/Silver, Black/Flouro Yellow/Copper, Black/Flouro Orange/Copper) — Deeper water with stronger flow; versatile all-round weight for larger rivers
#5 35g (Flouro Yellow/Silver, Flouro Orange/Silver, Flouro Yellow/Copper, Flouro Orange/Copper, Black/Flouro Yellow/Silver, Black/Flouro Orange/Silver, Black/Flouro Yellow/Copper, Black/Flouro Orange/Copper) — Fast, heavy currents; larger profile suits salmon and big trout
#5 40g — Black/Flouro Orange/Silver Blade — Heavy, fast rivers and deep downstream drifts; the Black/Flouro Orange body stands out in turbid or low-light conditions; silver blade delivers maximum flash in clear to lightly coloured water
#5 40g (Flouro Yellow/Silver, Flouro Orange/Silver, Flouro Yellow/Copper, Flouro Orange/Copper, Black/Flouro Yellow/Silver, Black/Flouro Yellow/Copper, Black/Flouro Orange/Copper) — Same heavy-water capability in alternative colour options
