Westin JerkBite DR

JerkBite DR - The Deep Runner

With the JerkBite DR, Westin has produced a deep-diving version of its proven twitchbait, reaching depths of up to 4.5 metres. That makes it an excellent choice for targeting perch, zander, and other predators holding hard on the bottom.

Versatile Retrieve Options for Summer, Winter, and Non-Twitchers

The slim profile of the Westin JerkBite DR lends itself to a wide range of techniques. In warmer summer months, fish it with fast, aggressive twitches and short pauses - predators are in an active mood and respond well to the intense darting action. When winter cold sets in, slow things right down: gentle twitches and longer pauses give the perfectly balanced suspending action time to work on more reluctant fish. And if twitching isn't your thing, simply wind it straight back or troll it - the JerkBite DR catches fish either way.

Built to Impress Inside and Out

The Westin JerkBite DR is built from a tough ABS plastic body with a completely lead-free construction. Inside sit 2 steel balls that form the Long Cast System: on the cast they shift towards the tail for extra momentum, then settle back into the belly in the water to deliver perfect balance - the foundation of the lure's action. That action is backed up by ultra-sharp, strong carbon steel treble hooks that set reliably and hold firm even during hard fights with big predators. Realistic eyes and hand-painted finishes round off a hard lure that delivers at every level.

How to Fish It

In summer, work the JerkBite DR with fast, hard twitches and brief pauses to trigger aggressive takes. In winter, switch to slow, soft twitches with extended pauses and let the suspending action do the persuading. If you prefer a more straightforward approach, a steady retrieve or trolling works just as well.
