Westin Jerk – 14cm 65g Sinking

Westin Jerk (14cm, 65g) Sinking

At Gerrys Fishing, we know that jerkbait fishing is all about rhythm, and the Westin Jerk is designed to make that rhythm effortless. After years of development, Westin has delivered a lure that responds to the slightest twitch of the rod tip with a wide, provocative side-to-side glide.

Unlike many jerkbaits that require a heavy hand, the Westin Jerk comes alive with minimal effort. While it excels with traditional rod-work, it is so well-balanced that you can even work it directly through the reel, using a stop-and-go retrieve to create a erratic, panicking action. This Sinking version is your deep-water specialist, designed to get down to where the big pike are holding and stay in the strike zone longer.

The Hang and the Strike

The secret to the Westin Jerks success is the pause. By mixing in short and long pauses, you create an unpredictable dying fish movement. In the sinking version, the lure will slowly flutter down through the water column on the pausethis is almost always when the most violent strikes occur.

Where & How to Use

The 65g sinking model is a versatile weapon for several scenarios:

• Deep Drop-Offs & Shelves: With a running depth of 13 meters, this lure is perfect for working along canal or river drop-offs where predators wait to ambush prey moving from shallow to deep water.

• Winter Pike Fishing: When fish are lethargic and sitting deep, the sinking action allows you to get the lure right in their face. Use long pauses to let it sink into the kill zone.

• Open Water Casting: The 65g weight and aerodynamic ABS body make this a dream to cast, allowing you to cover vast amounts of water on large reservoirs or lochs.

• Over Weed Beds: Though it sinks, you can work it quickly over the top of submerged weeds, using the glide to flash the lures flanks at hidden predators.
