Westin Jerkbite MR
Price from $11.47 View products
Adding to our “Bite” range an absolutely tremendous Jerkbait that we simply had to call “Jerkbite”. This bait took a full two years to perfect and the result speaks for itself. Designed to be fished as a jerkbait / twitchbait in any conditions. Fish it fast and aggressively jerking your rod with short or longer pauses, depending on the mood of the fish. During the colder months fish the Jerkbite with longer pauses between each twitch. Even on a steady retrieve you get a fantastic action out from this slim bait. The key to the strike are those pauses when the lure stays right in the strike zone thanks to the perfect balanced suspending action. This bait will clean up when everything else fails. Jerkbite features our integrated long cast system where two steel balls drops into the tail when casting and settle in the belly on the retrieve. This system ensures long and accurate casts and adds to the extremely effective darting action - just like a panicking baitfish. The Jerkbite is made from the finest materials with the strongest, sharpest hooks, and is ready for action whatever the pr...

Today Westin Fishing Tackle offers a wide range of trusted lures, rods and other fishing equipment – all produced with the same passion for perfection as Ingvar Westin’s original lure, and created to satisfy those looking for the best tools to pursuit monster fish.
Ingvar Westin grew up in the fertile fishing grounds north of Stockholm. There, he plied his trade as a skilled toolmaker, creating intricate carvings and devices for artisans in the nearby cities. Ingvar lived a humble life, so when his children wanted a new toy, he decided to create one himself.
Soon, Ingvar began work on a carved, wooden fish that wriggled and rolled in the water just like a real fish. Ingvar spent countless hours refining the toy to get a perfect, lifelike action that he knew would thrill his children. In the process, he inadvertently created a new swimming motion, the Westin roll. When Ingvar’s work was complete, he christened that toy the “Jätte” — Swedish for “giant.”
Word of Ingvar’s creation spread quickly in the small town of Skutskär. Wedged between the Baltic Sea and the River Dalalven, the town— which even today is home to just 6,000 people— could be called fishing obsessed. In no time at all, local fishermen were obsessed with Ingvar’s toy. They noticed that large pike seemed to be irresistibly attracted to the wooden carving and its rolling action, and they began clamoring for Ingvar to put hooks on the Jätte and allow them to fish with it.
Soon, a cottage industry developed, and Ingvar transitioned from a toolmaker to a lure maker with a bustling production line fueled by the prolific pike waters of Sweden.
By the time stories of a 45 lbs pike caught on a Jätte began circulating in 1977, Ingvar Westin’s lure was known throughout Scandinavia as the go-to big predator lure.
Since then, the Westin Jätte has deceived some of the biggest, wiliest old pike in Sweden. What started out as a child’s plaything in 1952 has now become a well-established and trusted brand in the fishing tackle industry.
Today Westin offers a wide range of trusted lures, rods and other fishing equipment – all produced with the same passion for perfection as Ingvar Westin’s original lure, and created to satisfy those looking for the best tools to pursuit monster fish worldwide.
