Westin Swim 12cm 0–1m 53g Suspending

Westin Swim Glidebait 12cm 53g Suspending — Effortless S-Curve Action in the Strike Zone

The Westin Swim Glidebait (glide bait) in 12cm / 53g Suspending hangs perfectly in the water column between retrieve and pause, giving predators all the time they need to commit. In the 3D Amber Perch finish, it combines a lifelike silhouette with a colour that reads well in a wide range of water conditions.

Versatile Retrieve, Instant Reaction

The Swim's signature S-curve swimming action kicks in the moment the reel turns. Fish it on a straight, steady retrieve, vary the tempo, add short rod twitches, or introduce spin-stops — each approach changes the lure's body roll and triggers different predator responses. Slowed right down it imitates a dying baitfish; ramped up with sharp pauses it mimics a fleeing prey in full panic. The technique is easy to execute, controlled entirely by retrieve speed.

Built to Cast Far and Hold Up

Full wire-through-body construction transfers hook loads directly to the line, so big pike and zander won't pull hooks free. Ultra-sharp carbon steel hooks come ready to fish straight from the packet. The aerodynamic long-casting design lets you cover water efficiently, and hand-painted detailing means every colour scheme is applied with precision. Material: ABS plastic; lead-free.

Choose the Right Variant

The Westin Swim Glidebait is available across several sizes, sink rates, and colours to match the situation:

6.5cm 9g Suspending — light-tackle perch and trout; ideal for clear, shallow venues and finesse setups
8cm 16g Suspending — compact, all-round choice for perch, bass, and smaller pike; easy to work on medium spinning gear
8cm 19g Sinking — same compact profile with a faster descent; good for deeper runs or letting the lure drop on a count-down
10cm 31g Low Floating — rises slowly on the pause; useful over weed beds and in shallow-water ambush situations
10cm 34g Sinking — covers depth quickly; effective for zander and pike along deeper structure
12cm 53g Suspending — stays locked at fishing depth during pauses; a key advantage when predators are reluctant to chase; multi-species lure for pike, perch, zander, and asp
12cm 58g Sinking — drops on the pause for a different presentation; triggers fish holding tight to the bottom
13.5cm 77g Suspending — bigger profile for targeting large pike and muskie in open water
13.5cm 86g Sinking — heavyweight option for casting into the wind or fishing deep reservoirs
15cm 107g Suspending — trophy pike and muskie; requires strong rods and heavy braid
15cm 115g Sinking — maximum depth coverage in the largest format
