Westin Tomy’s Original Perch represents one of the most realistic soft lures ever produced, born from a unique collaboration between Westin and renowned lure designer Tomy. After years of hand-crafting lifelike baits, Tomy’s famous Original Perch design is now available to anglers worldwide.
Tomy’s lifelong obsession with fish behaviour – from keeping fish in aquariums to diving with wild fish – has resulted in an unparalleled understanding of how predatory fish hunt and feed. This knowledge is perfectly reflected in the Original Perch, a lure designed to accurately imitate one of the most important prey species found in freshwater venues.
The dynamic body shape and ultra-realistic hand-painted finish push the boundaries of soft lure design. External fins and a perfectly balanced profile give the lure a natural appearance in the water, while the signature upward-facing paddle tail delivers a unique swimming action that works even at very slow retrieve speeds.
One of the standout qualities of the Original Perch is its effectiveness during pauses. The tail continues to beat subtly as the lure free-falls, creating irresistible movement that triggers strikes from cautious predators. Whether fished on a steady retrieve or with subtle twitches, the lure maintains a highly convincing action.
Trusted by top predator anglers and refined through years of development, the Westin Tomy’s Original Perch has earned its reputation as a go-to bait for pike, zander, perch and other predatory species. Now produced by Westin with the same attention to detail, it offers every angler access to one of the most realistic baitfish imitations ever created.
