Tested: Westin Swim Bait

The partially hand-lacquered decorations with the corresponding design and the carbon steel hooks speak for the quality of the bait.

In the 12 cm and 53 gram suspending version, this is the bait par excellence for successful Esox catches. Of the Lures Westin Swim Bait shows the best flight characteristics. Without any tumbling, the bait reaches its target as fast as an arrow, and you can also cast very precisely on places that are far away.

The Westin Swim Bait is a real alternative to shallow-running wobblers, which can be easily handled with conventional pike rods of up to 2,70 meters in length and 100 grams of casting weight, especially from the bank.

There are no limits to the way the bait is used. The jerking or targeted spin stops ensure that the bait breaks out and thus ingeniously imitates the flanking of injured baitfish.

Many thanks to Dietmar Isaiasch who provided us with these lures for testing. We are enthusiastic and were able to come up with successful catches right at the beginning of the test.
