Westin Sømmet 11cm 22g Mad Tobis

Westin Sømmet 11cm 22g Mad Tobis — The Inline Sand Eel That Nails Sea Trout

The Sømmet ("the Nail") is a proven shallow-water inline lure (in-line, run-through rigging lure) that has earned cult status among hardcore sea trout anglers across Scandinavia. In the Mad Tobis colour, its hand-painted finish closely mimics the sand eel — the number-one prey item for large sea trout hunting the shallows.

Sand Eel Action Where It Counts

Despite its slim, nail-like profile, the Sømmet comes alive in the water, producing a convincing sand eel imitation swimming action that triggers strikes from cautious, shallow-water sea trout. The 11 cm body and 22 g weight load let it cut through wind and reach fish holding well beyond the surf zone.

Inline Rigging — Keep More Fish on the Hook

The run-through line concept places the hook directly behind the lure body with nothing to create leverage against you during the fight. Thread your line through the lure, slide on the included bead to protect the knot, then tie directly to a single hook or treble hook (size #5/#4/#3). For a free-swinging hook, mount it on the included oval split ring and tie the line to the double-wire section of the ring. The lead-free zinc body is hand-painted for durability and natural presentation.

Choose the Right Variant

The Sømmet range spans three sizes and a wide colour palette to match conditions and angler preference. Select by weight and water conditions, then dial in colour for the light and clarity on the day.
