Westin Swim 13.5cm 0–1m 77g Suspending

Westin Swim Glidebait 13.5 cm 77 g Suspending – Natural Hang Time in the Strike Zone

The Westin Swim Glidebait (gliding jerkbait) in 13.5 cm and 77 g has earned its reputation among professional guides worldwide — and the Suspending version keeps the lure precisely at depth the moment you pause, giving predators every opportunity to commit.

S-Curve Action That Triggers Strikes

As soon as you begin your retrieve, the Westin Swim carves its distinctive S-curve through the water, mimicking a baitfish that can't quite hold its course. Slow and steady suggests a wounded prey; faster, erratic bursts imply panic. Add a pause and the bait hangs perfectly in the water column — motionless, tempting — and that's often when the rod loads up hard.

Versatile Retrieve, Any Angler

The Swim is designed so that even a basic wind-and-retrieve produces convincing action, while more experienced anglers can layer in rod twitches, speed changes, and spin-stops for a more complex presentation. The aerodynamic body and long-casting design make it easy to cover water efficiently, and the full wire-through-body construction with ultra-sharp carbon steel hooks means you stay connected when a big pike or muskie decides to eat. Hand-painted colours and lead-free construction complete the package.

Choose the Right Variant

The Westin Swim Glidebait is available in a wide range of sizes, weights, and buoyancy options to match your target species and conditions:

8 cm / 16 g – Suspending: Compact all-rounder for perch, zander, and light pike sessions
8 cm / 19 g – Sinking: Reaches slightly deeper; good for zander and perch in current or at depth
10 cm / 31 g – Low Floating: Rises slowly on the pause; effective for pike in shallow, weedy areas
10 cm / 34 g – Sinking: Covers the mid-column and deeper runs; reliable pike and zander bait
