Westin Swim Tail 12cm 62g Suspending Real Roach

Westin Swim Tail 12cm 62g Suspending — Real Roach: Four Actions, One Lure

The Westin Swim Tail takes the legendary Original Swim jerkbait and adds a game-changing twist: a quick-swap screw-attach tail system that puts four distinct swimming actions at your fingertips. The Real Roach finish gives this 12cm, 62g suspending body a convincing baitfish profile that pike find hard to ignore.

Two Tails, Two Techniques

Every Swim Tail ships with one paddle tail and one curl tail, each unlocking a different presentation. Work the paddle tail on a steady retrieve or with short pauses for a smooth, pulsing action. Switch to the curl tail and fish it with a classic twitching or jerk retrieve with longer pauses — deadly when pike are finicky. Pro tip: mount the curl tail with the curl facing up for a more aggressive twitch; flip it down for a traditional tail-bait action.

Suspending Balance for Pause-and-Go Fishing

At 62g, this variant is tuned to suspend in the water column — it holds its depth during pauses rather than rising or sinking. That means your lure stays right in the strike zone while pike make up their minds. For deeper water, add a switch weight to the front wire eyelet to adjust the running depth without swapping lures.
