Westin Stand-Up Weight — Lead-Free & Tangle-Free Bottom Rig Weight
Anglers who prefer using deadbaits or leger rigs for pike will find the Westin Stand-Up Weight an excellent choice. Its unique design ensures that the weight always stands upright on the bottom, helping to keep your leader and bait elevated above obstructions and offering a more natural, snag-resistant presentation.
Why Choose the Stand-Up Weight?
When fishing in weedy, rocky, or debris-laden waters, a conventional weight can allow the leader or hooklink to catch in the substrate. The stand-up feature of this Westin weight helps minimize that risk by ensuring your hooklink is held off the bottom. This can lead to cleaner presentations, fewer false bites, and improved hookup rates.
Available Sizes & Uses
The weight is available in several sizes (for example, 25 g, 35 g, and 50 g) to suit different depths, tides, and current conditions.
Tips for Rigging & Use
* Use a strong, abrasion-resistant hooklink for predator fishing.
* Allow some free movement on the swivel so the weight can settle upright naturally.
* In very soft or silty bottoms, check that the base still allows proper “stand up” effect — sometimes a firmer substrate gives better performance.
* When retrieving, bring the rig slowly at first to avoid toppling it, then speed up if needed.
Overall, the Westin Stand-Up Weight combines smart design with practical material choices, making it a solid choice for anglers targeting pike on the bottom with a clean, snag-resistant presentation.
