Frequently asked questions

What does SW mean in the model name?

SW stands for Saltwater, meaning the saltwater version. The lure has strong hooks and split rings suitable for saltwater fishing, as well as a through-wire construction.

How does the 10 cm / 35 g model differ from the 12 cm / 60 g version?

The 10 cm model imitates a smaller baitfish, requires lighter tackle and is better suited to fishing shallower waters. The 12 cm / 60 g version is heavier and more practical in strong winds, deeper water and when targeting larger fish.

How do I control the fishing depth of the sinking lure?

After casting, let the lure sink for the desired amount of time, then start retrieving. In shallow or rocky water, start retrieving sooner to avoid contact with the bottom.

Is Coral Trout the target fish for this lure?

No. Coral Trout is the name of this version’s colour scheme. The lure can be used for various saltwater predators and, with suitable tackle, for pike as well.

When is the Westin Swim SW Glidebait 10 cm 35 g the right choice?

This version suits anglers who want a glidebait with a strong saltwater construction but do not need a large 60- or 125-gram lure. The compact 10 cm body is suitable for imitating smaller baitfish, while the 35 g weight allows the lure to be used with tackle rated for more moderate casting weights.

The 12 cm / 60 g Swim SW is a better choice in strong winds, deeper water and when targeting larger predators. The Westin Swim Low Floating, on the other hand, is suitable when the lure needs to stay higher in the water column and there is a high risk of bottom contact.

Our recommendation

We recommend using the lure with a rod whose casting weight range comfortably includes 35 grams. When fishing for pike, add a bite-resistant wire leader; for saltwater fishing, choose a leader and lure snap according to the size of the fish you expect to catch. Before casting, check the line, knot and connections, as the compact lure places considerable strain on them during the cast.

Start with a slow, steady retrieve to bring out the Swim’s characteristic side-to-side movement. When fish are active, add bursts of speed and short pauses; when fish are passive, let the lure sink a little deeper and use longer pauses. After use in saltwater, rinse the lure with fresh water, dry the hooks and rings, and check them for corrosion.
