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

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

The Westin Swim Glidebait (Glide Bait / Jerkbait) in Real Roach finish is a pro-guide staple that works straight out of the packet — cast it, retrieve it, and let the signature S-curve swimming action do the rest.

Stays Right Where Predators Hunt

The suspending buoyancy of this 8 cm, 16 g bait is its trump card. On the pause, it holds perfectly in the water column at 0–1 m depth, sitting motionless in front of any following predator long enough to trigger a strike. Slow it down to mimic a dying roach or speed up to imitate a fish in full flight — both modes draw savage bites.

Simple to Fish, Effective for Everyone

You don't need specialist jerkbait gear to get the best from this lure. A steady retrieve already creates the fluid, body-rolling S-curve action; add the odd pause or a short rod twitch and the result is a bait that looks alive. The long-casting ABS body reaches distant holding spots, while the full wire-through-body construction and ultra-sharp carbon steel hooks ensure that every take converts. The hand-painted Real Roach finish adds a convincing baitfish profile that pike, perch, zander, and asp all respond to.
