Westin Jerkbite SR Jerkbait 9cm 8g Suspending Hot Shad

Westin Jerkbite SR Jerkbait 9 cm / 8 g – Suspending Precision in the Strike Zone

The Jerkbite SR (Shallow Runner) is Westin's answer to one simple question: what keeps a predator staring at a lure long enough to commit? The answer is a perfectly balanced suspend right in the strike zone — and that's exactly what this slim 9 cm jerkbait delivers in Hot Shad.

Darting Action That Mimics a Panicking Baitfish

Fish it with sharp, aggressive rod twitches followed by short or extended pauses, and the Jerkbite responds with an erratic, dart-and-freeze action that closely imitates a fleeing, disoriented baitfish. Even on a steady retrieve the slim profile produces an enticing wobble — but it's during those pauses, when the lure hangs motionless at 0.5–1 m depth, that most takes occur. In colder water, simply lengthen the pauses to match slower, less aggressive predators.

Integrated Long Cast System for Range and Accuracy

Two internal steel balls shift to the tail during the cast, extending the lure for maximum distance and accuracy. On the retrieve they roll back into the belly, restoring the bait's balanced action instantly. The result is a lure that reaches holding spots other jerkbaits can't, while still performing the tight darting movement that triggers strikes.

Choose the Right Variant

The Jerkbite SR is available in two sizes and a wide range of colours to match conditions and target species. Both sizes run as a shallow runner at 0.5–1 m (9 cm) or 0.3–1 m (7.5 cm).
