Westin Swim 8cm 0–1m 19g Sinking Firetiger

Westin Swim Glidebait 8cm 19g Sinking — Reliable S-Curve Action in the Strike Zone

The Westin Swim Glidebait (Gliding Bait) in 8cm Sinking puts your lure right where predators hunt: just beneath the surface, down to 1m, with a hypnotic S-curve swimming action that works on the simplest retrieve or with creative rod work.

An Easy-Action Bait Anyone Can Fish Effectively

Slow it down and the Swim mimics a wounded baitfish struggling to hold position. Speed up the retrieve or add short rod twitches and it becomes a panicking prey fish trying to flee. Regular pauses between retrieves trigger hard strikes from following fish. Because everything is controlled by reel speed and rod angle alone, there is no steep learning curve — beginners and experienced anglers alike get results from the very first cast.

Built to Last, Designed to Reach

The full wire-through-body construction means even the heaviest pike cannot pull the hooks free from the body. Ultra-sharp carbon steel hooks are ready to set on the strike without additional sharpening. Hand-painted detailing gives the Firetiger finish its contrast and flash, and the long-casting profile gets the bait to fish holding far from the bank or boat. The body is lead-free ABS plastic throughout.

Choose the Right Variant

The Westin Swim Glidebait is available in multiple sizes, buoyancies, and colours to cover every situation and species. Choose by the depth you want to work, the weight you need to cast, and the target species:

Swim Glidebait 6.5cm 9g Suspending — ultra-light; perch, trout, and finicky pike in shallow, clear water on light spinning tackle
Swim Glidebait 8cm 16g Suspending — neutral buoyancy for slow, hang-in-place pauses; perch and zander in still or slow water
Swim Glidebait 8cm 19g Sinking — Firetiger — sinking version of the compact 8cm body; works the upper metre with a consistent drop on the pause; high-contrast Firetiger colour for coloured or low-light water; pike, perch, zander, and asp on medium spinning or baitcasting gear
Swim Glidebait 10cm 31g Low Floating — barely positive buoyancy; rises slowly on the pause; ideal for weed-edge fishing and shallow flats for pike
Swim Glidebait 10cm 34g Sinking — heavier 10cm option for longer casts and a more pronounced sink rate; pike and large zander in rivers and open water
Swim Glidebait 12cm 53g Suspending — larger profile for big pike; suspends perfectly for extended pauses in cold water
Swim Glidebait 12cm 58g Sinking — sinking 12cm for fast-sinking presentations and deeper retrieves; pike in flowing water
Swim Glidebait 13.5cm 77g Suspending — trophy pike and muskie; suspending action for slow, deliberate presentations
