Westin Swim 12cm 0–1m 53g Suspending

Westin Swim Glidebait 12 cm 53 g Suspending – Deadly S-Curve Action in the Top Metre

The Westin Swim Glidebait (Gliding Baitfish Imitation) is a proven multi-species lure trusted by professional guides worldwide. At 12 cm and 53 g with a suspending buoyancy, this is the size that consistently draws reactions from pike, perch, zander, and asp in the 0–1 m zone.

Effortless Action, Versatile Retrieve

The Swim's signature S-curve swimming action kicks in the moment the reel starts turning, requiring no specialist technique. A slow, steady retrieve mimics a wounded baitfish drifting helplessly; speed it up and add sharp rod twitches or spin-stops, and it becomes a panicking prey fish trying to escape. This flexibility makes it equally at home for the beginner and the seasoned predator angler.

Built to Cast Far and Hook Hard

The long-casting body design puts the lure where the fish are, even in open-water or windy conditions. Full wire-through-body construction means even hard-fighting pike can't pull the hooks loose, while the ultra-sharp carbon steel hooks are ready to connect on contact. Hand-painted finishes add realistic detail that stands up under scrutiny in clear water.
