Westin Sandy Andy Jig | 15cm 42g The Heavyweight Sandeel Specialist

When the tide is ripping and the fish are sitting deep, you need a lure that combines a slim, aerodynamic profile with enough weight to reach the strike zone. At Gerrys Fishing, the Westin Sandy Andy 15cm 42g is our go-to recommendation for anglers tackling deeper water and faster currents. This isnt just a lure; its a masterclass in imitation. Every Sandy Andy is lovingly hand-painted to capture the subtle shimmer of a real sandeel, making it irresistible to sea bass, big cod, and pollack.

The 42g pre-moulded head is perfectly balanced with a soft, high-flexibility body that kicks into life the moment it hits the water. Equipped with an ultra-sharp, heavy-duty Japanese-style sea hook, it is built to handle the explosive power of a double-figure bass. The package includes one head and two bodies, ensuring that even after a frantic session, you can swap the tail and keep fishing.

Where to Use the 15cm 42g Sandy Andy

The 42g model is the workhorse of the Sandy Andy range, designed for more demanding conditions:

• Deep Water Wrecks & Reefs: The 42g weight allows you to drop quickly to the bottom, making it ideal for vertical jigging for cod and pollack over structure.

• Strong Tidal Currents: When fishing off piers or rocky headlands in heavy flows, this lure stays in the feeding zone longer without being swept away.

• Offshore Boating: A fantastic choice for drifting over sandbanks where large bass congregate to feed on sandeel shoals.

Pro Tip from Gerrys Fishing

The Deep-Water Burn: When fishing for pollack over wrecks, let the Sandy Andy sink all the way to the bottom. Instead of jigging it, perform a fast, steady retrieve for about 20 or 30 turns. Pollack love to chase sandeels as they flee toward the surface. If you feel a knock, dont stop windingkeep the speed constant until the rod arches over!

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

Is the hook strong enough for big saltwater fish?

Yes. Westin uses premium Japanese-style sea hooks that are chemically sharpened and forged for extra strength. They are designed specifically to resist straightening under the pressure of large saltwater predators.

Which colours work best in deep water?

In deeper water or lower light, Acid House or brighter fluorescent colours often perform well as they remain visible at depth. However, on bright days in clear water, the Natural hand-painted patterns are almost indistinguishable from a living sandeel.

Can I buy replacement bodies separately?

While the pack comes with two bodies, we do stock replacement Westin tails at Gerrys Fishing. It is always a good idea to have a few spares in your tackle box, as the soft material is designed for maximum action, which can eventually lead to wear after many successful catches.
