Westin Gunnar the Goby R2F 8cm 9g Headlight Goby

Westin Gunnar the Goby R2F 8cm 9g Headlight Goby — Ready-to-Fish Bottom Predator Lure

The Gunnar the Goby R2F (Ready to Fish) is Westin's hyper-realistic soft goby imitation, pre-rigged and built specifically for zander and perch over rocky, weedy bottom structure. The 8cm / 9g size hits the sweet spot for mid-depth jigging across rivers and lakes.

Fooling Predators Where They Feed

Gobies are the staple prey of zander and perch throughout European waters, and the Gunnar replicates them with photo-printed detail and hand-painted accents. The fat, rounded body wobbles convincingly on the drop, while the fast-moving action tail pulses with every twitch. When the lure settles, it lands upright on its super-flexible pectoral fins — just like a real goby resting on the bottom — presenting the hook in the ideal position for a clean strike.

Rigged and Protected from the Start

The R2F version comes ready to tie on and fish. A super-sharp 1/0 single hook is mounted in a lead-free stand-up harness that keeps the point riding upward at all times. The dorsal fin acts as a natural weed guard, shielding the hook point so you can work the lure through stones and vegetation without constant snagging. Slow jigging with sharp, reactive starts along the bottom is the primary technique — but the lure handles fast retrieves equally well.
