Westin Swim 8cm 0–1m 16g Suspending Real Perch

Westin Swim Glidebait 8 cm 16 g Suspending – Effortless S-Curve Action at Any Pace

The Westin Swim Glidebait (Gliding Jerkbait) in Real Perch is an 8 cm, 16 g suspending lure that hangs in the strike zone and triggers predators with its fluid, lifelike swimming motion — right from the first turn of the reel.

Easy to Fish, Hard to Ignore

Whether you work it with a simple cast-and-wind retrieve or mix in rod twitches, variable speeds, and pauses, the Swim responds with a convincing S-curve body roll that imitates a disoriented or wounded baitfish. Slow down and it looks like easy prey; speed up and it mimics a panicking fish trying to escape. That versatility means it adapts to the mood of the fish, not the other way around.

Built to Last, Rigged to Hook

The full wire-through-body construction transfers strike force directly to the line, so even hard-running pike rarely win the tug-of-war. Ultra-sharp carbon steel hooks are ready to bite straight out of the pack, and the hand-painted Real Perch finish adds a level of detail that stands out in clear and lightly coloured water where perch-pattern lures excel. The long-casting body shape helps you cover water efficiently, even in a headwind.

Choose the Right Variant

The Swim Glidebait range spans six body lengths and three buoyancy classes, giving you the right tool for every depth, species, and water temperature.

6.5 cm / 9 g Suspending — ultralight finesse fishing; perch, bass, and asp in shallow, clear water on light spin gear
8 cm / 16 g Suspending (this lure) — Real Perch — ideal for perch, zander, pike, and asp in the top metre; suspending action keeps the lure in the feeding zone during pauses; matches perch-rich venues perfectly
8 cm / 19 g Sinking — same compact profile, faster drop for slightly deeper presentations or faster currents
10 cm / 31 g Low Floating — slow rise on the pause; great for working just above weed tops and in shallower bays
10 cm / 34 g Sinking — covers the upper water column with a controlled sink; reliable all-round pike and zander choice
12 cm / 53 g Suspending — larger profile for bigger pike and zander; effective in cold water when a slow, stationary pause triggers the bite
12 cm / 58 g Sinking — same big profile with a faster sink rate for deeper or windier conditions
13.5 cm / 77 g Suspending — trophy pike and muskie territory; works superbly on slow glide-and-pause presentations
13.5 cm / 86 g Sinking — big-water, big-pike bait when fish are holding deeper
15 cm / 107 g Suspending — maximum profile for targeting large pike and muskie in open water
15 cm / 115 g Sinking — deepest-running version of the range for vertical or long-distance presentations
