Westin Swim 12cm 0–1m 58g Sinking Real Rudd

Westin Swim Glidebait 12cm 58g Sinking — Realistic Rudd Pattern for Predator Fishing

The Westin Swim Glidebait (gliding jerkbait) in 12cm / 58g Sinking is a proven multi-species lure trusted by professional guides worldwide. In Real Rudd finish, its hand-painted detail makes it a convincing imitation of one of the most widespread baitfish in European waters.

S-Curve Action That Works at Any Retrieve Speed

As soon as the reel starts turning, the Swim's signature S-curve swimming action kicks in. Fish it on a slow, steady retrieve to mimic an injured baitfish, or speed up and add pauses to trigger the reaction bite of a fleeing prey. Combining variable retrieves with rod twitches and spin stops gives you full control over the presentation — all through reel speed alone.

Built to Cast Far and Hold Together

The full wire-through-body construction ensures that even the largest pike or muskie cannot tear the hooks free from the body. Combined with a long-casting aerodynamic profile, ultra-sharp carbon steel hooks, and ABS plastic construction, this lure is ready for hard use in open water, along reed edges, and around structure. The 58g weight loads medium-heavy spinning and casting rods comfortably for distance work.
