Frequently Asked Questions Which size Westin Great Heron should I choose? The 5.5 cm, 13 g model is suitable for imitating smaller prey and for use with lighter tackle. The 6.5 and 7.5 cm, 18 g versions are universal choices. The 8.5 cm, 22 g model is ideal for a larger profile, longer casting, and use in stronger winds. How to retrieve the Great Heron? The lure works with both slow and fast steady retrieves. If the fish are not responding, add accelerations and short pauses. Varying the retrieve speed helps you find the most effective action during the day. How deep does the Great Heron run? The fishing depth of a sinking lure is regulated by sink time, retrieve speed, and rod position. Longer sink time and slower retrieve bring the lure deeper, while faster retrieve and a higher rod keep it closer to the surface. Is the Great Heron suitable for use in saltwater? Yes. The lure is suitable for coastal sea trout and salmon fishing. After using in saltwater, rinse the lure, hook, and rings with clean freshwater 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 one lure series. Its lively action is maintained at different retrieve speeds, so you can use it slowly in cold water or faster when 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 waters, retrieve the Great Heron faster or choose a lighter variant. For targeted big pike fishing, use a bite-resistant leader. Recommendations Select the Great Heron size according to your target fish, wind, and rod casting weight. The 13 g model allows for a more subtle presentation, the 18 g versions 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 maintaining lively action at different speeds, but fish preferences may change throughout the day. In deeper water, let the lure sink in a controlled manner before retrieving. After saltwater use, rinse the lure and metal parts with freshwater. Check the hook sharpness 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 appropriate strength. Versatile Scandinavian lure for trout and predator fishing The Westin Great Heron combines lively swimming action, a wide range of sizes, and a construction suitable for both slow and fast retrieves. It is a versatile sinking lure for sea trout, salmon, perch, asp, and pike fishing both on the coast and in inland waters.
