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 (Gliding Jerkbait) in 12cm / 53g suspending is a proven multi-species lure trusted by professional guides and their clients alike. In Real Baltic Pike finish, its hand-painted detail makes it a natural choice wherever pike patrol shallow margins and bays.

Easy to Fish, Hard to Ignore

Whether you're working a simple steady retrieve or mixing in rod twitches, spin-stops, and variable cadence, the Swim's signature S-curve swimming action engages from the first turn of the reel. Slow down to mimic a wounded baitfish drifting near the surface; speed up to suggest a panicking prey in full flight. The suspending buoyancy lets the lure hang motionless in the water column during pauses — often the moment a following predator commits.

Built for Distance and Durability

The long-casting aerodynamic body shape means you can cover water efficiently from the bank or the boat. A full wire-through-body construction transfers hook loads directly to the line tie, while ultra-sharp carbon steel hooks provide a secure hold on hard-striking pike, perch, zander, and asp. The ABS plastic body carries hand-painted colour detail that holds up to repeated catches.

Choose the Right Variant

The Westin Swim Glidebait is available across six body lengths and four buoyancy classes, so you can match the lure precisely to the fish size, water depth, and presentation style:

6.5cm / 9g Suspending — Compact option for perch, smaller pike, and finesse setups; works open water and lighter spinning tackle
8cm / 16g Suspending — Versatile all-rounder for mixed-species sessions; pairs well with medium spinning or baitcasting gear
8cm / 19g Sinking — Same profile, sinks faster for deeper columns or stronger current
10cm / 31g Low Floating — Rises gently on the pause; ideal for weed-edge presentations and shallow flats
10cm / 34g Sinking — Covers mid-depth zones; effective on zander and pike over structured bottom
12cm / 53g Suspending (this variant) — Real Baltic Pike colour; hangs in the strike zone on the pause, perfect for pike in 0–1m running depth over weeds, along reed edges, and in clear-water conditions where a natural pike-pattern triggers territorial bites
12cm / 58g Sinking — Identical footprint, sinks faster for fishing slightly deeper or in current
13.5cm / 77g Suspending — Steps up for larger pike and trophy zander; suits heavier baitcasting tackle
13.5cm / 86g Sinking — Big-bait presentation that reaches the bottom quickly in deeper venues
15cm / 107g Suspending — Maximum size for targeting trophy pike and muskie on dedicated big-bait setups
