Westin Swim 12cm 0–1m 53g Suspending

Westin Swim Glidebait 12cm 53g Suspending — Effortless Predator Action in the Strike Zone

The Westin Swim Glidebait (Glide Bait) is the lure that pro guides hand to beginners and experienced anglers alike — because it simply works. At 12cm and 53g with a suspending buoyancy, this size hits the sweet spot for pike, perch, zander, and asp in shallow to mid-depth water.

An S-Curve Action Anyone Can Fish

From the moment the reel turns, the Westin Swim traces a fluid, wide S-curve through the water that mimics a baitfish in distress. A slow, steady retrieve imitates a wounded fish struggling near the surface; speed it up and add sharp rod twitches for a panicking prey look. The suspending buoyancy means the lure hangs motionless during pauses — sitting right in front of a following fish long enough to trigger a strike.

Built to Cast Far and Hold Up

The long-casting body design lets you cover water efficiently, while the full wire-through-body construction ensures the hardware stays connected even when a large pike or muskie runs hard. Ultra-sharp carbon steel hooks and detailed hand-painted finishes complete a lure built for serious use, not just the display case.
