Westin Sømmet 10cm 16g Golden Hour

Westin Sømmet 10 cm / 16 g – Golden Hour — Surgically Accurate Sand Eel Imitation for Sea Trout

The name says it all: Sømmet (Norwegian for "the Nail") is built to nail big sea trout in the shallows. Slim, long-casting, and hand-painted, this inline lure has earned cult status among dedicated sea trout anglers across Scandinavia.

Sand Eel Profile That Triggers Strikes

Despite its nail-like silhouette out of the water, the Sømmet comes alive on the retrieve. Its slender zinc body mimics the gliding, darting action of a sand eel — the single most important prey item for large sea trout hunting the surf and shallow coastal flats. The Golden Hour colour combines warm amber and gold tones that perform particularly well in low-light conditions at dawn, dusk, and under overcast skies.

Inline (In-Line) Concept — Fewer Lost Fish

The run-through line rigging routes your mainline directly through the lure body, placing hook pressure in a straight line from fish to rod. This dramatically reduces leverage and the risk of the fish using the lure's weight to throw the hook. Thread your line through the lure, slide on one of the included beads to protect your knot, then tie directly to a single hook or treble hook. For a free-swinging hook, attach the hook to the included oval split ring and tie your knot to the double-stranded section of the ring.

Choose the Right Variant

The Sømmet is available in three sizes and a wide range of colours. Match size to casting distance needed, water depth, and target conditions:

• SØMMET 16 g / 10 cm — Golden Hour(this lure): compact and light; ideal for calmer surf, shorter casts, and rod tips with a softer action; great in warm-tone low-light sessions

• SØMMET 16 g / 10 cm — Mad Tobis: natural sand eel colour; all-round choice in clear, bright conditions

• SØMMET 16 g / 10 cm — Pearl Ghost: subtle, translucent finish; excels in clear, calm, shallow water

• SØMMET 16 g / 10 cm — Smoked Chrome: high-contrast flash; choppy or slightly coloured water

• SØMMET 16 g / 10 cm — Olive Diamond: earthy-natural tone; overcast days or murky inshore water

• SØMMET 16 g / 10 cm — Dull Sunrise: muted warm tones; transitional light, early morning

• SØMMET 16 g / 10 cm — Motoroil UV: UV-active finish; dawn, dusk, or off-colour water

• SØMMET 16 g / 10 cm — Clown: bold contrast pattern; stained water or reaction strikes

• SØMMET 22 g / 11 cm (multiple colours): step up for stronger wind, longer casting, or faster currents; same shallow-water sea trout technique

• SØMMET 28 g / 12 cm (multiple colours): maximum distance and depth control; heavy surf, open beaches, or targeting larger fish
