Frequently Asked Questions Which size Westin Great Heron should I choose? The 5.5 cm, 13 g model is ideal for imitating smaller baitfish and for use with lighter tackle. The 6.5 and 7.5 cm, 18 g variants are universal choices. The 8.5 cm, 22 g model is suitable for a larger profile, longer casting, and windy conditions. How should I retrieve the Great Heron? The lure works with both slow and fast steady retrieves. If fish are not reacting, add bursts of speed and short pauses. Varying the retrieve speed throughout the day helps find the most effective swimming action. How deep does the Great Heron run? The fishing depth of a sinking lure is adjusted by sink time, retrieve speed, and rod position. A longer sink time and slower retrieve will take the lure deeper, while a faster retrieve and a higher rod tip will keep it closer to the surface. Is the Great Heron suitable for saltwater use? Yes. The lure is suitable for sea trout and salmon fishing from the coast. After use in saltwater, rinse the lure, hook, and rings with fresh water and let them 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 typical predatory fish 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 to search for active fish. If you need the longest possible cast 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. When specifically targeting large pike, use a bite-resistant leader. Recommendations Select the Great Heron size according to the 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 suited 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 different speeds, but fish preferences can change during the day. In deeper water, let the lure sink in a controlled manner before starting the retrieve. After use in saltwater, rinse the lure and metal parts with fresh water. Check the sharpness of the hook and the condition of the double split ring, especially after contact with rocks or fish teeth. When fishing for pike, 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.
