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

Westin Swim Glidebait (Glide Bait) 8 cm 19 g Sinking – Real Roach — Effortless Predator Action at 0–1 m

The Westin Swim Glidebait in 8 cm / 19 g Sinking brings a proven, guide-trusted action into a compact, versatile package. In the realistic Real Roach finish, it presents a natural baitfish silhouette that pike, perch, and zander find hard to ignore.

Instinctive S-Curve Action for Any Retrieve

As soon as you start winding, the Swim traces a fluid S-curve through the water that mimics a wounded or fleeing baitfish — no specialist technique required. A slow, steady retrieve suggests an easy meal; speed it up or add sharp rod twitches and short pauses to trigger reaction strikes from reluctant predators. The sinking buoyancy of this 19 g version keeps it working at 0–1 m throughout every phase of the retrieve, making it equally effective on a straight wind, a jerk-and-pause, or a variable-tempo presentation.

Built for Distance and Durability

The long-casting ABS body houses a full wire-through construction, so even hard-fighting pike cannot pull the hooks free from the lure body. Ultra-sharp carbon steel hooks are fitted as standard, and the hand-painted Real Roach colour is finished with the detail that makes fish commit. The lure is lead-free throughout.

Choose the Right Variant

The Westin Swim Glidebait is available across six body lengths and three buoyancy types, covering light perch fishing through to trophy pike hunting.
