Westin Gunnar the Goby R2F 8cm 12g Fire Goby

Westin Gunnar the Goby R2F 8cm 12g – Hyper-Realistic Goby Imitation, Ready to Fish

The Gunnar the Goby R2F (Ready to Fish) is a photo-printed soft swimbait built around the most natural goby behaviour – and it arrives fully rigged, so you can be fishing within seconds of opening the pack.

Fooling Zander and Perch at the Bottom

Gobies are the dominant forage fish on rocky and gravelly bottoms throughout European rivers and lakes, and Gunnar replicates every detail: the fat, stocky body, the hand-painted fin markings and the fast-moving action tail that pulses on the slowest retrieve. The hyper-realistic, photo-printed finish means pressured fish see what they expect to see, not a plastic imitation.

Built for Bottom Contact, Ready When You Are

The 8cm, 12g sinking profile gets Gunnar down quickly and keeps it in the strike zone. The lead-free stand-up harness with a size 1/0 single hook ensures the lure rights itself on every pause, sitting in a natural upright position on the substrate – pectoral fins down, hook point up, covered by the dorsal fin as a practical weed guard. Combine that with slow jigging, sharp lift-and-drop movements or a slow drag along the bottom and you cover the full range of modern bottom techniques.
