Westin Swim 8cm 0–1m 19g Sinking Official Roach

Westin Swim Glidebait 8cm 19g Sinking — Proven Roach Pattern for Subsurface Predator Fishing

The Westin Swim Glidebait (gliding jerkbait) in Official Roach is a compact, 8cm sinking workhorse that pros and newcomers alike rely on for pike, perch, zander, and asp. Its realistic roach finish and S-curve swimming action trigger strikes at depths of 0–1m with minimal effort on the angler's part.

Versatile Retrieve, Maximum Attraction

Work it slow to imitate a wounded roach drifting near the surface, or crank it fast to simulate a panicking baitfish in full flight. Add pauses and irregular rod twitches to vary the action — the 19g sinking weight keeps the lure firmly in the strike zone without drifting upward, making it particularly effective in cold-water conditions or when fish are hugging the bottom of shallow flats.

Built for Distance and Durability

A full wire-through-body construction transfers hook pressure directly to the line tie, so even hard-running pike cannot lever the hooks free. Ultra-sharp carbon steel hooks and a long-casting body design mean you cover more water on every session. The hand-painted Official Roach finish holds detail and colour even after repeated use.

Choose the Right Variant

The Westin Swim Glidebait is available across six sizes and three buoyancy options, covering every scenario from finesse perch fishing to trophy pike hunting.
