The 12.5cm variant suits small softbaits (8–12cm); the 16.5cm works with medium lures (12–18cm); the 20.5cm is for large softbaits (16–25cm). Match the stinger length to your bait size for optimal spike tension and hook presentation.
Hook size 8 (smaller) is better suited for finesse presentations and smaller prey fish imitation. Hook size 6 (larger) provides stronger penetration and better holds on larger pike. Both are sharp and robust; choose based on your target fish size and lure profile.
The two friction spikes grip your softbait through gentle tension. On the strike, the spike pressure releases, allowing the treble to set fully into the pike's mouth. This progressive release prevents false drops during erratic retrieves while maintaining sensitivity.
Any soft plastic lure with a solid body works well: shads, swimbaits, curly-tail grubs, and slug patterns. The spike system adapts to most rubber profiles. Avoid thin-wall or ultra-soft baits that compress easily, as they won't maintain spike tension.
The 22.7 kg capacity makes it suitable for seabass and larger saltwater predators. However, standard split rings may corrode in salt environments. For extended saltwater use, consider upgrading to stainless-steel components or rinsing thoroughly after each session.
Top-mounted stingers keep the rig clear of weeds and structure, and prevent short-striking pike from escaping. The dual-hook system gives confident anglers better hookup rates on aggressive takes. It's especially effective for bottom-bumping and pause-and-drop techniques.

The Westin Release Stinger Top Softlure is a complete stinger system for mounting on soft plastic lures when spinning for pike (Esox lucius) and zander (Sander lucioperca). Two friction spikes grip the lure's back, releasing on strike to deploy the sharp treble hook.
Engineered for repeated casting and positive pike takes, the rig combines robust split rings with a sharp, stable treble hook. The spike-release mechanism ensures responsive hookups without false drops during aggressive retrieves.
Tested to 22.7 kg breaking strength, this rig withstands prolonged fights with large pike. Construction is robust enough for all-day spinning sessions and challenging predatory fish.
Mount the two spikes directly to the dorsal surface of softbaits; the system pairs with most rubber profiles. The integral split ring keeps tension throughout the fight.
