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

Westin Platypus Crankbait 16cm — Irresistible Rolling Action for Pike

The Westin Platypus Crankbait is a purpose-built pike lure designed by Scandinavian lure designer Allan Christiansen — compact, heavy enough to cast long distances, and armed with a seductive action that triggers reaction strikes.

Rolling Flash That Mimics a Wounded Baitfish

The Platypus's signature rolling action rotates the body around its own axis, repeatedly flashing its flanks like a disoriented prey fish. Light-reflective optic eyes crafted from tinted fiber-optic glass add a unique glow effect under varying light conditions, giving pike that extra visual cue they find hard to ignore.

Built to Handle Big Fish in Tough Conditions

The lure is constructed with a robust wire frame linking the attachment eye directly to the hooks, so even a hard-running pike won't find a weak point. Carbon steel size 4 hooks ensure a solid hookset, while the lead-free build meets modern environmental standards. An ultra sonic rattle ball sends out high-frequency vibrations that help pike locate the lure even in coloured or low-visibility water. The Natural Pike colour on this variant adds a highly realistic finish for pressured fish.

Choose the Right Variant

All Platypus Crankbait variants share the same 16 cm body, 56 g weight, 0.5–2 m running depth, slow-sinking rolling action, and size 4 carbon steel hooks. Choose your colour to match conditions and forage:

• Natural Pike(this variant) — realistic predator-mimicking finish; effective when pike are targeting smaller pike or in clear water

• Bling Perch — bright perch pattern; great in coloured water or overcast skies

• Stamped Roach — natural roach finish; ideal when roach is the dominant forage

• Headlight — high-visibility colour; suited to dark or murky conditions and dawn/dusk sessions
