Westin Gunnar the Goby R2F 8cm 12g Appleseed

Westin Gunnar the Goby R2F 8cm 12g Appleseed — Ready-Rigged Goby Imitation for Zander and Perch

The Westin Gunnar the Goby R2F (Ready to Fish) is a hyper-realistic soft swimbait built around one of the most effective shapes in European predator fishing: the goby. Pre-rigged and ready to drop in, the 8cm / 12g Appleseed version gives you just the right weight to work mid-depth structure and rocky bottoms with authority.

Built to Fish the Bottom Like a Real Goby

Gunnar's fat body, photo-printed finish with hand-painted details, and fast-moving action tail combine to produce an authentic goby swimming action that zander and perch find hard to ignore. The super-flexible pectoral fins ensure the lure always settles upright on the bottom — hook point up and perfectly positioned for a clean take. It slips naturally between rocks and stones just as a real goby would, triggering reaction strikes even from pressured fish.

Smarter Rigging, Fewer Snags

The lead-free stand-up harness keeps the 1/0 single hook riding point-up at all times, while the dorsal fin doubles as a weed guard to shield the hook tip from fouling on bottom debris. This combination makes Gunnar well-suited to slow jigging with sharp, fast lifts along rocky, weedy, or silty bottoms — the kind of retrieve that perfectly imitates a startled goby. The material is free from toxic phthalates and the harness is lead-free.

Choose the Right Variant

Gunnar the Goby R2F is available in three sizes and a range of colours to match conditions and target species:

• 6.5cm / 6g (e.g. Appleseed, Headlight Goby, Black Mouth, Fire Goby, Spotted Goby, Slimy Green) — light finesse sizes for perch or clear-water zander at close range; 1/0 single hook

• 8cm / 9g (Appleseed, Headlight Goby, Black Mouth, Fire Goby, Spotted Goby, Slimy Green) — versatile mid-weight for all-round bottom fishing; 1/0 single hook, lead-free stand-up harness

• Westin Gunnar the Goby R2F 8cm / 12g — Appleseed — heavier 8cm option for deeper water, stronger currents, or when a faster sink rate is needed; 1/0 single hook with weed guard; ideal for zander and perch over rocky or weedy structure

• 10cm / 17g (Appleseed, Headlight Goby, Black Mouth, Fire Goby, Spotted Goby, Slimy Green) — larger profile for bigger zander or deep jigging; 3/0 single hook, lead-free stand-up harness

• 10cm / 21g (Appleseed, Headlight Goby, Black Mouth, Fire Goby, Spotted Goby, Slimy Green) — maximum weight for fast-sinking presentations in deep or fast-flowing water; 3/0 single hook
