Westin Hypoteez Shadtail 6.5cm 2g Dirty Harbor

Westin HypoTeez Shadtail 6.5 cm / 2 g — Smelt-Perfect Micro Shad for Perch & Zander

Named after the Latin name of the smelt (Hypomesus olidus), the HypoTeez Shadtail is a hand-painted soft lure that gets to work the instant it touches the water — no extra coaxing needed.

Life-Like Action That Triggers Strikes

A tapered body with a dedicated tail-joint feeds every twitch directly into the easy-action paddle tail. The result is a seductive, low-resistance wobble that produces at all retrieve speeds — from a near-dead-drift through cold, sluggish water to a steady medium wind. Optimised material flexibility keeps the tail beating even when pressured by a slow current.

Hand-Painted Detail That Fools Wary Fish

Realistic printed eyes and hand-painted colour details make the HypoTeez look like the real thing in the water column. The Dirty Harbor colourway blends natural grey-green tones that mimic a smelt or small baitfish in murky or slightly coloured water — a reliable choice when fish are pressured or the light is flat.

Choose the Right Variant

The HypoTeez Shadtail comes in two sizes and a wide colour palette. Pick your size based on target species and conditions, then dial in the colour to match local forage or water clarity.
