Westin Swim 8cm 0–1m 16g Suspending

Westin Swim Glidebait 8 cm 16 g Suspending – Deadly S-Curve Action in the Strike Zone

The Westin Swim Glidebait (Glide Bait) is the go-to lure trusted by professional guides worldwide. At 8 cm and 16 g with a suspending buoyancy, this compact version keeps your bait right in the feeding zone – where predators strike.

Easy-Action Versatility for Any Angler

Whether you work it with a simple cast-and-wind retrieve or add spin stops and short rod twitches, the Swim responds instantly with its signature S-curve swimming action. Slow down to imitate a dying baitfish; speed up to trigger reaction bites from aggressive pike and perch. The retrieve speed is all you need to dial in the right action.

Built to Last, Built to Cast

The full wire-through-body construction ensures no fish is lost to hook pull, while the long-casting design lets you cover water efficiently. Ultra-sharp carbon steel hooks are ready to connect straight out of the pack, and the hand-painted 3D Headlight colour adds a realistic finish that finicky fish can't resist. Lead-free construction throughout.
