Westin Needle Bug 6.5cm Black/Chartreuse

Westin Needle Bug 6.5cm Black/Chartreuse — Lifelike Bug Action That Triggers Trout

The Westin Needle Bug blends a realistic bug silhouette with soft, flowing hair fibres and a scent infusion that trout simply can't resist. This Black/Chartreuse version, soaked in garlic/cheese oil, is a proven pattern for put-and-take pools and natural stillwaters alike.

Ultra-Realistic Design That Fish Can't Ignore

The slender 6.5 cm body is fitted with fine hair fibres and lifelike antennae that pulse and breathe with the slightest current or rod movement. Made from super-soft floating material, the Needle Bug sits and moves exactly as a natural insect would — triggering strikes from trout and other predatory fish that might refuse harder lures.

Versatile Rigging for Any Presentation

Few soft baits offer this level of rigging flexibility. Fish it twitched on a tungsten hook, drop-shotted with a Cheburashka, vibrating with a trout blade, or suspended and drifted under a bombarda float. Whether you're working the surface film or coaxing fish off the bottom with a passive presentation, the Needle Bug adapts to your approach. The garlic/cheese scent oil adds an extra layer of attraction on pressured waters.
