Westin Hypoteez Shadtail 9cm 5g Motoroil Fuel

Westin Hypoteez Shadtail 9 cm 5 g – Smelt Imitation That Triggers Predators on Contact

Named after the Latin name of the smelt (Hypomesus Olidus), the Westin Hypoteez Shadtail is a hand-painted soft bait so lifelike it starts working the instant it hits the water. Motoroil Fuel is a dark, translucent colour with earthy undertones — a proven producer in murky or low-light conditions when predators key on subtle, natural tones.

Instant Action from the First Retrieve

The tapered body features a precision tail-joint that loads even the slightest current or retrieve into an irresistible wide paddle-beat. Perch and zander simply cannot ignore it — the action is built into the lure, so it works equally well on a straight retrieve, a slow sink, or a lift-and-drop presentation.

Hand-Painted Detail and Realistic Eyes

Westin invests in hand-painted, life-like detailing and fitted realistic eyes, giving the Hypoteez a three-dimensional presence in the water. At 9 cm and 5 g, the lure is perfectly weighted for medium-distance casts and sinks at a controlled rate that keeps it in the strike zone longer.
