Additional weights and spare tails are not included in the standard set. Frequently Asked Questions How do the included tails differ? The paddle tail creates active tail action during steady retrieve and works well with short pauses. The curl tail performs best with pulls, jerk movements, and longer pauses. How long is the Westin Swim Tail with tail attached? 12 cm refers to the lure body length. With the paddle tail, the total length is 17.5 cm; with the curl tail, it’s 19 cm. What does four swimming actions in one lure mean? The paddle and curl tails each give the lure a different action. The curl tail can be mounted with the curved part facing up or down: facing up, the action becomes more aggressive with pulls; facing down, the lure works as a classic tailbait. Should I use a trace when pike fishing? Yes. For a 68 g lure and potentially large pike, use a steel, titanium, or other bite-proof trace of sufficient strength, along with quality connectors. When is the Westin Swim Tail 12 cm the right choice? This model is ideal for pike anglers who want to switch swimming actions with a single lure without changing the entire rig. The paddle tail is practical for searching for active fish and steady retrieves, while the curl tail is better for slower fishing with pulls and pauses. The sinking 68 g version is better suited for fishing deeper water layers. If you want the lure to stay at about the same depth during pauses, consider the 62 g suspending model. For classic S-shaped action without a soft tail, the Swim Glidebait is a better choice. Recommendations Start with the paddle tail and retrieve the lure at a steady pace, occasionally adding short pauses. If a pike follows but does not strike, switch to the curl tail and use stronger rod pulls and longer pauses. Mounting the curl tail upwards gives a more aggressive twitch action, while mounting it downwards provides a classic tailbait movement. To repeat the sinking depth with the sinking model, count the seconds it sinks after casting. In deeper spots, you can add an appropriate extra weight to the front wire loop, but this will increase the sink rate and put more strain on your gear. Before fishing, ensure the tail is mounted straight and securely on the screw mount. For a 68 g lure, use a rod with sufficient casting weight, strong braided line, and a bite-proof trace. Store soft tails separately from other soft lures if possible, as different materials may react over prolonged contact. Pike lure with four swimming actions and interchangeable tail Westin Swim Tail 12 cm / 68 g combines a strong wire-through construction, a sinking lure body, and two soft tails with different actions. It’s a versatile choice for pike anglers who want to adapt the lure’s movement to the fishing spot and fish activity.
