Westin Swim 13.5cm 0–1m 77g Suspending Fire

Westin Swim Glidebait 13.5 cm 77 g Suspending – Effortless Action for Big Predators

The Westin Swim Glidebait (Gliding Baitfish Imitation) in 13.5 cm and 77 g suspending is a versatile, easy-to-fish lure trusted by professional guides worldwide. At this size, it sits in the water column on the pause and comes alive with even the simplest retrieve – a natural choice when pike, perch, or asp are targeting larger prey.

S-Curve Action That Works at Any Retrieve Speed

As soon as the reel turns, the Westin Swim traces a fluid S-curve through the water, mimicking a baitfish at full swim. Wind it slowly and it imitates a wounded fish struggling to maintain depth. Speed up the retrieve and it becomes a panicking prey desperately trying to escape. Add pauses to let the suspending body hold its position, and you create exactly the trigger moment big predators find irresistible. No special technique is required – all of this is controlled purely by your retrieve speed.

Built for Distance and Durability

The long-casting body design helps you cover water efficiently from the bank or the boat. Full wire-through-body construction means the frame runs from front hook hanger to rear, so even the most explosive take won't pull the hooks loose. The ultra-sharp carbon steel hooks are ready to set on contact, and hand-painted colour details give the Fire pattern its vivid, attention-grabbing finish.
