Westin Swim 13.5cm 0–1m 86g Sinking Firetiger

Westin Swim Glidebait 13.5cm 86g Sinking – Big-Profile Action for Hard-Hitting Predators

The Westin Swim Glidebait (Gliding Jerkbait) in 13.5cm Sinking is a go-to big-water bait trusted by pro guides worldwide — cast it out, wind it back, and let the S-curve action do the rest. In Firetiger, it hits hard in coloured water and low-light conditions where high-contrast colours trigger reaction strikes.

S-Curve Action That Works at Every Speed

The moment the reel turns, the Swim's signature S-curve swimming action kicks in, mimicking a wounded or panicking baitfish with convincing lateral roll. Fish it slow for a dying-bait presentation, rip it fast for a fleeing prey profile, or mix steady retrieves with pauses — each approach draws strikes from pike, perch, zander, and asp regardless of angler experience level.

Built to Cast Far, Built to Last

At 86g and 13.5cm, this sinking version loads a rod effortlessly and covers serious water on every cast. A full wire-through-body construction ensures the hardware holds up to the biggest fish, while ultra-sharp carbon steel hooks and a hand-painted finish round out a lure that punches well above its price point.

Choose the Right Variant

The Swim Glidebait comes in five sizes and three buoyancy options, giving you a precise tool for every depth, species, and season. Select by size and sink rate first, then match colour to water clarity.

6.5cm 9g Suspending — Finesse fishing for perch and zander in clear, shallow water; ideal for light spinning setups
8cm 16g Suspending — Versatile shallow-water option for perch, zander, and small pike; suspends in the strike zone during pauses
8cm 19g Sinking — Fast-sink compact profile for deeper pockets and current; perch, zander
10cm 31g Low Floating — Rises slowly on the pause; great for fishing just above weed beds for pike and asp
