Frequently Asked Questions Which size Westin Great Heron should I choose? The 5.5 cm and 13 g model is suitable for imitating smaller prey fish and fishing with lighter tackle. The 6.5 and 7.5 cm, 18 g variants are universal choices. The 8.5 cm and 22 g model is suitable for a larger profile, longer casting, and use in stronger winds. How should I retrieve the Great Heron? The lure works with both slow and fast steady retrieves. If the fish are not responding, add bursts of speed and short pauses. Varying the retrieve speed helps you find the most effective swimming action during the day. How deep does the Great Heron work? The fishing depth of a sinking lure is controlled by sink time, retrieve speed, and rod position. A longer sink time and slower retrieve will bring the lure deeper, while a faster retrieve and higher rod angle keep it closer to the surface. Is the Great Heron suitable for saltwater use? Yes. The lure is suitable for sea trout and salmon coastal fishing. After use in saltwater, rinse the lure, hook, and rings with clean freshwater and allow them to dry before storage. When is the Westin Great Heron the right choice? The Great Heron is a good choice for anglers who want to target both salmonids and common predators with a single lure series. Its lively swimming action is maintained at different retrieve speeds, so it can be used slowly in cold water or faster for searching for active fish. If you need maximum casting distance in strong headwinds, a slimmer and more compact metal-bodied lure may be a better choice. In very shallow or weedy water, retrieve the Great Heron faster or choose a lighter variant. For targeted pike fishing, use a bite-resistant leader. We recommend Select the Great Heron size according to target fish, wind, and rod casting weight. The 13 g model allows for a more subtle presentation, the 18 g variants are universal, and the 22 g lure is better for stronger winds and larger fish. Start with a medium-speed steady retrieve. Then try slower and faster presentations in the same spot. One of the Great Heron's strengths is its lively swimming action at various speeds, but fish preferences can change during the day. In deeper water, allow the lure to sink in a controlled manner before retrieving. After use in saltwater, rinse the lure and metal parts with freshwater. Check the sharpness of the hook and the condition of the double split ring, especially after contact with rocks or fish teeth. For pike fishing, use a bite-resistant leader of suitable strength.

It is a versatile sinking lure for sea trout, salmon, perch, asp, and pike fishing both on the coast and in inland waters.
