Westin HypoTeez Shadtail R'N'R — Irresistible Baitfish Imitation

Hypnotize predators with the HypoTeez Shadtail R'N'R. Named after the Latin name of the smelt (Hypomesus Olidus), this hand-painted soft lure looks so lifelike that even experienced fish would be fooled. Available in two convenient sizes with pre-rigged jig heads, these lures start working the moment they hit the water.

Realistic Design

Every detail is crafted to mimic a genuine smelt. Naturalistic fishy eyes, anatomically correct proportions, and faithful color patterns for both clear and dark water conditions make these lures virtually indistinguishable from the real thing.

Proven Tail Action

The articulated shadtail design delivers a seductive rolling and kicking motion that triggers strikes from bass, pike, perch, and zander. Works effectively on both steady retrieve and erratic jigging presentations.

Ready to Fish

Each pack arrives with pre-mounted jig heads and high-quality hooks. No rigging required—simply tie on and start fishing. Packs of 2 or 3 lures offer excellent value.

Material Quality

Lead-free and phthalate-free soft plastic ensures a sustainable choice. These versatile baits suit fresh water conditions across Europe.

Frequently asked

What sizes are available?

The HypoTeez Shadtail R'N'R comes in two sizes: 9cm 7g with #4/0 hooks (2 lures per pack) and 6.5cm 3g with #4 hooks (3 lures per pack). The larger size excels in deeper water and for bigger predators, while the 6.5cm is perfect for finesse fishing and smaller fish.

Which color mix should I choose?

Choose Clear Water variants for transparent or lightly colored water where subtle, natural colors are most visible and effective. Select Dark Water variants for murky, heavily stained, or low-light conditions where darker patterns and contrasting colors stand out better to predators.

Are these lures ready to use?

Yes. Each lure comes pre-rigged with a jig head and hook, requiring no additional setup. Simply attach to your line and begin fishing. This saves time and ensures reliable, consistent presentations every cast.

What fish species can I catch with HypoTeez?

HypoTeez Shadtail R'N'R are highly effective for bass, pike, perch, zander, and trout. The realistic smelt imitation triggers aggressive strikes from any predatory species that feeds on small fish. The 9cm size is ideal for larger fish, while the 6.5cm works well for all species.

What retrieves work best?

Experiment with steady, medium-pace retrieves to showcase the natural tail action, or use short jerks and pauses to trigger strikes. The jig head allows effective vertical jigging in deeper areas. Vary your presentation until you find what the fish respond to on any given day.
