My top Perch, Pike and Zander lures from Westin

A selection of my favourite Westin lures, including crankbaits, shads, dropshot lures and Carolina rig lures. How and why I rig them, for Pike Perch and Zander with stories on how they have helped me to Tournament wins this year. This range is available through ‘Hook Me Up’ monthly lure boxes as the first in the ‘Signature Series’ range.

Nice Juan....enjoyed that

Hi Tom, would be great to see some live footage of you fishing these lures 👍

[@Thomhuntfishing]

I have a new Go Pro and will do my best to record some footage etc but I have no clue about editing! Hence my single take unedited videos!

[@mranguria8848]

@@Thomhuntfishing there are a lot of free and easy to use editing softwares. If you have a pc you can also use imovie for apple or editor video for windows (these softwares are free and very intuitive and the one for windows is pre-installed)! I would really love to see some fishing videos and remember that you don’t need to do crazy editing to have a good final product!😉

[@paake3134]

Awesome tips, might even get all of those.

[@Thomhuntfishing]

Do! They’re all superb in the right situations. Shadteez is deffo the one not to miss out on!

[@paake3134]

@@Thomhuntfishing Any chance to do similar video with more in depth? Say 5 lures and fav colours, rigs etc for each for example?

[@thelureangler4346]

Thanks Tom. I’ll do my best to put some of those tips into practice. 👍🏻

[@RemboMicky]

Great video mate, ill most definatly gonna try some of those tips in my local reservoir as its pretty hard place to fish but has huge perch in there

[@Thomhuntfishing]

Big waters are never easy but the rewards are there. First job is location, second job is correct lure/technique selection 👍🏻 Let me know how you get on!

[@russellgarrett8505]

Carolina un pegged ,would that work on deep slow sections of the Thames ? Found a few 12ft holes before the floods came .

[@Thomhuntfishing]

Yep 👍🏻 Any time it’s really cold water and you need a bait to flutter around slowly go for Carolina. And unpegged gives better bite detection in cold water

[@janosczovek8524]

Excellent video really enjoyed it , you need to make a video on using bigger lures for perch to catch big perch would really like your options on this topic ,l love your colour selection on the lures thanks 👍

[@Thomhuntfishing]

Thanks for the kind words, and yes I’ll aim to get a video done on fishing for big perch 👍🏻

[@janosczovek8524]

Thanks would be very happy can't wait 👍

[@leafysfishing]

What size jig head do you use for a 7 or 8cm shad? .. thanks for the vids btw

[@Thomhuntfishing]

Jig head weight depends on depth of water/what presentation I’m trying to achieve. As for hook size on an 8cm Shad something like a 1/0 or 2/0 would be about right

[@lionelgray]

Another brilliant vid Thom. I've been thinking about experimenting with black lures especially in coloured water. Any thoughts on that would be appreciated

[@Thomhuntfishing]

Yep only use 3 colours for dirty water lime green, pink or black 👍🏻

[@lionelgray]

@@Thomhuntfishing Many thanks for that. Once the river fines down a bit ill be giving it a try 👍

[@Nickswolves]

Hi, what size hook would you recommend for fishing the bloodteez on drop shot on the canal please?

[@Thomhuntfishing]

For a canal I’d fish the 5.5cm (smaller) version and a size 10 or 12 is good for a single bait. For the larger version a 8 or 10 and for 2 baits go for a 6 or 4

[@Zafishowany]

Great vlog. Thanks mate.

[@Thomhuntfishing]

Thanks 🙏

[@wojbar5659]

Hi there, love your videos! great bunch of information and advice! What would be your no1 lure for zander in uk grand union canal?

[@Thomhuntfishing]

5 or 7.5cm Shadteez Slim, 7cm Shadteez (regular) and 5.5 & 7.5cm Stanley the stickleback are all awesome

[@davidmiller2388]

Can I ask where you get your 12" Sparkle Green Shad Teez? Tried my usual place (Lure Box) and they don't have them?

[@Thomhuntfishing]

I usually get mine from here but they’re out of stock too. I think they’re out of stock at Westin www.predatortackle.co.uk/Soft-Lure-Baits/Westin-ShadTeez-12cm/

[@davidmiller2388]

@@Thomhuntfishing Thanks thom, I think you have created a demand!!

[@Thomhuntfishing]

Yeah I just checked at Westin and they’re in stock there so seems UK suppliers are dry.... not sure if these videos are the reason but might be!

[@vikingleviathan5083]

Great video Thom ! Can you please make a video about crankbait retrieval ? I have a ton off Buzzbites 5 cm, and crank them on a clear water canal in Belgium. I cant get a bite, and i know theres a lot off perch here. Im prob. doing something wrong with my retrieval techniques. On the other hand i can catch lots off perch with shad teez 9 cm headlight, but i really want to learn crankbaits.. Thanks for all the tips and videos !

[@Thomhuntfishing]

Yep no problem I’ll put a video together about crankbait retrieval ASAP 👍🏻

[@vikingleviathan5083]
