Westin Platypus Crankbait 16cm 0.5–2m 56g Slow Sinking

Westin Platypus Crankbait 16cm — Roll-Action Pike Wobbler That Triggers Strikes

Designed by Scandinavian lure maker Allan Christiansen, the Westin Platypus Crankbait (16 cm / 56 g) is a purpose-built pike lure that combines a hypnotic rolling body action with light-reflecting optic eyes — all in a slow-sinking presentation that keeps the bait in the strike zone.

Roll & Flash Where It Counts

The Platypus rolls continuously around its own axis as it moves through the water, repeatedly flashing its flanks to mimic a wounded baitfish. The light-conducting fibre-optic eyes create a unique glow effect through light reflection, adding extra visual stimulus even in low-visibility conditions.

Built Tough for Big Pike

The lure is constructed around a robust through-wire system connecting the line tie directly to the hooks, so there is no weak link when a heavy fish surges. Carbon steel size 4 hooks and a lead-free body complete a setup that is ready for aggressive, active pike fishing straight out of the box.

Choose the Right Variant

All four variants share the same 16 cm / 56 g frame, slow-sinking action, ultra sonic rattle ball, and 0.5–2 m running depth — choose purely by colour to match your water and conditions.

• Headlight(current variant): high-contrast colour with light-reflecting optic eyes; excellent for murky or coloured water and overcast skies

• Bling Perch: perch-pattern finish; ideal for clear water and venues with a perch forage base

• Natural Pike: realistic pike colouration; natural-looking option for pressured or clear water

• Stamped Roach: roach-pattern; effective on waters where roach is the dominant prey fish
