One of the biggest challenges the development team faced was to achieve long-casting characteristics. Westin eventually came up with the solution, which was to design a long and narrow body shape, which places the centre of gravity relatively far ahead, resulting in increased distance. Despite its large, rotating shad tail, the lure remains stable in the water. Anglers can retrieve it quickly, pause it or simply adopt a very slow retrieve. An important feature of the lure’s behaviour is that, if it is paused on the retrieve, it will sit with an upwards incline that promotes increased hooking properties should a fish hit the lure during the pause. Westin’s HypoTwist is available in two sizes – 11.5cm and 14cm. Big pike will love the larger model and, while both sizes are perfect for bass fishing, the 11.5cm version is an ideal choice for perch.
