Westin ID-Crank

A Crankbait That Covers the Whole Water Column

The Westin ID-Crank is a chunky hard lure available in multiple weights and running depths, designed to perform at virtually any depth. The range spans from ultra-shallow to deep, letting you work the entire water column with a single lure family. To make selecting the right model straightforward, the running depth is printed directly on the diving lip in both metres and feet. With its range of sizes, the Westin ID-Crank sits squarely in the feeding zone of large perch, pike, largemouth bass and zander.

Floating & Aggressive in Action

In the water, the Westin ID-Crank produces a tight, aggressive swimming action. Even at low retrieve speeds it runs at high frequency, drawing predators in from a distance. The lure is floating, which pays dividends around snaggy ground and is equally important for techniques such as bottom tapping - letting the crankbait tick down to the bottom with its diving lip and then float back up, a trigger that few predators can resist. The realistic eyes of the Westin ID-Crank give fish a clear target to home in on.

Long-Cast System & Hand-Painted Finishes

Both the body and the diving lip are moulded from tough ABS, and the lure is built entirely lead-free. The integrated long-cast system shifts weight during the cast, putting the lure well within reach of distant spots that would otherwise be out of range. The ultra-sharp, Teflon-coated hooks hold on even the lightest of takes, giving you every chance of getting the fish to the landing net. The Westin ID-Crank comes in a wide selection of colours, each finished with hand-painted details, so you can match the right pattern to any situation.

How to Fish It

Bottom tapping is one of the most effective ways to get the best from the Westin ID-Crank: retrieve steadily until the diving lip contacts the bottom, then pause and let the floating body rise before continuing. The ticking contact with the substrate combined with the buoyant rise is a combination that triggers reaction strikes from a wide range of predators.
