Westin Swim Jerkbait 13.5cm 86g Glide Sinking

Westin Swim Glidebait Sinking 13.5cm 86g — Versatile Predator Jerkbait for Pike and More

The Westin Swim Glidebait Sinking is a hard-bodied, sinking jerkbait (a lure that glides and darts on a controlled retrieve) built for active predator fishing. At 13.5cm and 86g, it casts far and fishes deep, covering water efficiently in the Bait Bash Ice Perch colourway.

Imitate Injured or Fleeing Prey

Retrieve speed alone transforms how this lure behaves. Worked slowly, it mimics a dying or wounded baitfish — an easy meal no pike can resist. Speed it up and it replicates a baitfish in panic, triggering aggressive reaction strikes. Combining both with deliberate pauses is where most bites happen.

Versatile Retrieves, One Lure

The Swim Glidebait handles a full range of techniques: a simple cast-and-wind, variable spin stops, short rod strikes, or a steady retrieve at varying speeds. Because everything is controlled via reel speed and rod tip, it suits both beginners learning to work jerkbaits and experienced anglers dialling in subtle presentations. The through-wire construction and sharp carbon-steel hooks ensure solid hook-ups when the predator commits.

Choose the Right Variant

All variants share the same 13.5cm / 86g sinking glide action — colour is the key differentiator. Pick the pattern that best matches your water conditions and target species.

• Bait Bash Ice Perch — this variant; a translucent, icy perch-pattern ideal for clear or lightly coloured water where subtlety triggers wary pike

• 3D Oliveoil Perch — realistic olive-toned perch finish; works well in moderately coloured water and vegetation-heavy environments

• Jerkbait Alert Perch — high-contrast, high-visibility perch pattern; effective in murky water or low-light conditions

• 3D Water — natural, translucent blue-water finish; suited to open water and clear lake conditions
