Westin Jerkbite MR 9cm 9g - Suspending Jerkbait & Twitchbait

The Westin Jerkbite MR 9cm is a suspending jerkbait designed to imitate a fleeing or injured baitfish. With its slim profile, erratic darting action and medium running depth of 1–2 metres, it's an excellent choice for targeting UK perch, zander and pike in rivers, canals, lakes and reservoirs.

Designed for both aggressive twitching and slower presentations, the Jerkbite MR responds to short rod jerks with sharp changes of direction. Its balanced suspending action allows the lure to remain in the strike zone during pauses, giving following predators time to attack.

The integrated Long Cast System uses two steel balls that shift towards the tail during casting before settling in the belly on retrieval. This improves casting distance and accuracy while contributing to the lure's natural, darting movement.

Whether fished with fast twitches during warmer months or longer pauses in colder conditions, the Westin Jerkbite MR offers a versatile hard lure presentation throughout the season.

Best Techniques

Twitch & Pause: Use short, sharp rod movements to create an erratic darting action, followed by pauses that allow predators to strike.

Cold-Water Fishing: Extend the pauses between twitches to keep the lure in front of less active fish for longer.

Aggressive Jerking: Work the lure with faster, more pronounced movements to trigger reaction strikes from active predators.

Steady Retrieve: The Jerkbite MR also produces an attractive swimming action on a straightforward retrieve.
