Westin Swim 8cm 0–1m 16g Suspending

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

The Westin Swim Glidebait (Gliding Baitfish Imitation) is a proven favourite among professional guides worldwide — and the 8cm 16g Suspending in Real Rudd is the finesse option that keeps your lure right where the fish are, without any effort.

Effortless Action That Works at Any Retrieve Speed

Whether you wind it steadily, twitch it with short rod strokes, or work it with spin-stops and pauses, the Swim produces a hypnotic S-curve swimming action the moment the reel turns. Fish it slow to mimic a dying baitfish, or fast and erratic to trigger panic strikes — the technique is entirely yours to control via retrieve speed alone.

Built to Last and Cast Far

The Swim is constructed with a full wire-through-body frame, so even the hardest-fighting pike won't pull the hooks free. Ultra-sharp carbon steel hooks, hand-painted detailing, and an ABS plastic body combine durability with lifelike presence. The long-casting design gets your lure into position quickly, covering water efficiently.
