Westin Swim 12cm 0–1m 53g Suspending

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

The Westin Swim Glidebait (a glidebait and jerkbait hybrid) has earned its place in the tackle boxes of professional guides worldwide, and the 12 cm 53 g Suspending in Real Roach is one of the most versatile sizes in the range. Cast it out, start winding, and let the legendary S-curve swimming action do the work.

Easy-Action Retrieve for Maximum Versatility

Whether you work it with a simple steady wind, variable spin-stops, or short rod sweeps, this lure responds predictably at every speed. A slow retrieve mimics a wounded baitfish drifting near the surface; speed it up and add pauses and it becomes a panicked roach fleeing a predator. The suspending buoyancy means the lure holds its position in the water column during each pause, giving pike, perch, and zander an easy target to commit to.

Full Wire-Through Construction and Hand-Painted Finish

The through-wire body design ensures the lure holds together under the pressure of hard-fighting predators, session after session. Ultra-sharp carbon steel hooks are ready straight from the packet, and the hand-painted Real Roach finish delivers the kind of fine detail that passes close-quarters inspection from wary fish in clear water.

Choose the Right Variant

The Westin Swim Glidebait is available across six sizes and three buoyancy ratings, making it straightforward to match the lure to your target species, conditions, and rod setup.
