Westin Hypoteez Shadtail 6.5 cm / 2 g — Golden Baitfish — Smelt Imitation That Works From the First Cast

Named after the smelt's Latin name Hypomesus olidus, the Westin Hypoteez Shadtail (Shad Tail Soft Lure) is a hand-painted finesse bait that reads as genuine prey the moment it enters the water — no retrieve tricks required.

Instant Swimming Action, Zero Warm-Up

The tapered body with its dedicated tail joint transfers even the slightest rod or current movement straight to the paddle tail, producing a tight, seductive kick from the first centimetre of the retrieve. At 6.5 cm and just 2 g, the lure sinks slowly and naturally, giving hesitant perch and zander every chance to commit.

Detail That Fools Pressured Fish

Hand-painted realistic eyes and a life-like colour finish in Golden Baitfish make this lure nearly indistinguishable from a juvenile smelt or small baitfish — an advantage when fishing clear water or heavily pressured venues. The slender, flexible body deforms on the strike and recovers quickly, keeping the bait fishable longer.

Choose the Right Variant

The Hypoteez Shadtail is available in two sizes and a wide colour range. Matching size and colour to your target species and conditions helps you get the most from every session.
