Westin Sømmet 12cm 28g — Maximum Distance for Big Sea Trout in Shallow Water

The Sømmet ("the Nail") is a Scandinavian cult classic among dedicated sea trout anglers. At 28g and 12cm, this inline lure is built for long casts and a convincing sand eel imitation that big sea trout simply cannot ignore.

A Sand Eel in Disguise

It may look like a nail out of the water, but the Sømmet comes alive on the retrieve. Its slim, weighted body produces a natural sand eel swimming action — mimicking the primary prey of large sea trout hunting in shallow coastal waters. Hand-painted for a realistic finish, the Clown colour offers a bold, high-visibility profile suited to coloured water and low-light conditions.

Inline Rigging — Fewer Lost Fish

The run-through line design puts your mainline in direct contact with the hook, reducing leverage and keeping fish pinned during the fight. Thread your line through the lure body, slide on a bead to protect the knot, then tie directly to a single hook or treble hook of your choice. For a free-swinging hook, mount it on the included oval split ring and attach your line to the double-stranded section. Three beads and an oval split ring are included.
