Westin Salty 18g 9cm Headlight

Westin Salty 18g 9cm Headlight — Versatile Sinking Lure for Trout in Any Condition

The Westin Salty in 18g / 9cm Headlight is a proven all-rounder that punches into a headwind, works at almost any retrieve speed, and stays fishable even in very shallow water.

Cast Far, Fish Anywhere

At 18g and 9cm, this sinking lure carries enough weight to cut through strong crosswinds while remaining compact enough to draw strikes in tight spots. Its baitfish silhouette and hand-painted finish give it a natural profile that trout recognise at any time of year, whether you work it fast along the surface film or crawl it slowly across a shallow flat.

Refined Hardware Built to Last

The Salty runs a lead-free ABS plastic body weighted with zinc, fitted with a Japanese-style Perma Steel single hook in size #2. A double split-ring (Stay On) mount sits between body and hook, reducing leverage during the fight and keeping hook hold solid. The hook size is matched to the lure's 9cm frame — strong enough for double-figure trout without overpowering the action.

Choose the Right Variant

The Salty comes in three sizes and a wide colour range. Match the size to your conditions and target, and the colour to water clarity and light.

• Salty 12g 7cm (Headlight, Green Sardine, Dotted Sardine, Diamond Thief, Motoroil UV, Pink Opal, Pattegrisen, 3D Sparkling Herring) — lightweight option for shallow water; ideal for selective trout and sea trout on calm days; twitching and pause-and-go retrieve

• Salty 18g 9cm Headlight — mid-size workhorse for all-round trout and sea trout fishing; casts into the wind; effective fast or slow; single hook, sinking

• Salty 18g 9cm (Diamond Thief, Green Sardine, Dotted Sardine, Motoroil UV, Pink Opal, Pattegrisen, 3D Sparkling Herring) — same versatile 18g frame in alternative colours; choose by water colour and light conditions

• Salty 26g 11cm (Headlight, Diamond Thief, Dotted Sardine, Green Sardine, Motoroil UV, Pink Opal, Pattegrisen, 3D Sparkling Herring) — largest format for long casts, deep water, and targeting large trout and sea trout at night in summer
