Westin Swim 8cm 0–1m 16g Suspending Firetiger

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

The Westin Swim Glidebait (Gliding Baitfish Imitation) is a proven multi-species lure trusted by pro guides worldwide. At 8cm and 16g with a suspending buoyancy, this Firetiger-coloured version sits perfectly in the 0–1m zone, giving predators exactly the time they need to commit.

Versatile Retrieve, Natural Trigger

The Swim's signature S-curve swimming action kicks in the moment you start winding. Fish it on a straight steady retrieve, vary the pace, add short rod twitches or spin-stops — every technique works. Slow and smooth, it imitates a struggling baitfish; speed it up with pauses and it becomes a panicking prey item. The suspending buoyancy means the lure holds its depth during pauses, keeping it in the strike zone and giving hesitant fish every opportunity to bite.

Built to Cast Far, Built to Last

A full wire-through-body construction ensures even the largest pike cannot tear the hook free from the body. Ultra-sharp carbon steel hooks are ready straight from the pack, and the long-casting design lets you cover water efficiently. The hand-painted Firetiger finish delivers a high-contrast green-yellow-orange pattern that excels in stained or low-light water. ABS plastic construction keeps the action consistent cast after cast.
