Westin Stickleback Metal Lure – metal lures for trout and perch
Price from 7.33 € View productsRealistic stickleback imitation with an erratic action
Westin Stickleback Metal Lure is a metal spinning lure designed to imitate a stickleback. Its shape is based on a 3D scan of a real fish, giving the body a natural profile, scale pattern and detailed finish. It is designed for trout, perch and other predatory fish feeding on small baitfish.
During the retrieve, the Stickleback produces an erratic action with flashes and vibrations that imitate a weakened baitfish. One of its key features is the continued rotation during pauses, allowing stop-and-go retrieves to become an important part of the presentation.
Erratic action and long casting performance
The construction of the Westin Stickleback Metal Lure is designed to support long casts and efficient coverage of larger areas of water. It can be retrieved steadily, worked with short pulls or fished with pauses, during which the lure continues to rotate and move.
The body is made from zinc. The series includes 6.5 cm / 10 g and 7 cm / 14 g versions, making it possible to match the lure size and weight to the fishing conditions and activity level of the fish.

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.
