Westin Sandy Andy Weedless Jig Spare Heads | 11g (10cm)

When you need to navigate heavy cover without sacrificing the profile of a mid-sized baitfish, the Westin Sandy Andy Weedless 11g is the perfect middle ground. At Gerrys Fishing, we find the 10cm/11g combination to be one of the most versatile in the range. It provides enough weight to cast accurately into coastal breezes while maintaining a slow, natural sink rate that keeps the lure in the strike zone longer.

These spare heads are meticulously designed to mimic a real sandeel, featuring a lead construction and active 3D eyes that provide a lifelike target for predators. The custom-made wide gape hook is engineered to sit flush against the 10cm body, allowing you to weed-dodge through kelp, bladderwrack, and submerged structures where standard jigs would fail. Delivered in a 2-piece pack, these heads are a vital addition to any shore or boat anglers kit.

Where to Use the 11g Weedless Sandy Andy

The 11g weight is a sweet spot for several UK fishing scenarios:

• Shallow Rocky Gullies: Ideal for searching through narrow rocky cuts where sea bass ambush prey. The weedless design lets you bounce the lure off the rock walls without snagging.

• Estuary Outflows: The 11g head is perfect for working the edges of sandbanks and mudflats where current-borne debris often fouls standard hooks.

• Mixed Ground Marks: Use this head when fishing over broken ground (a mix of sand and rock) where you need to stay close to the bottom to find feeding fish.

Pro Tip from Gerrys Fishing

The Stealth Approach: In clear water, predators can be spooked by heavy splashes. The 11g head offers a relatively soft entry into the water. Try casting past your intended target (like a specific kelp patch) and then slowly swimming the lure into the zone. The weedless nature of the Sandy Andy means you can pull it right through the heart of the cover where the biggest bass are likely to be tucked away.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

How do I rig the 10cm body to this head?

Simply use the Westin Fast Attach system. Line up the 10cm body, slide it onto the mounting pin of the 11g head, and secure the custom wide gape hook through the designated slot in the body. Its designed to stay tight and straight cast after cast.

Is this weight suitable for windy days?

The 11g head is aerodynamic and casts well on light to medium spinning tackle. However, if you are facing a direct onshore gale, you might want to step up to the heavier versions to maintain feel; but for most normal coastal days, the 11g is more than sufficient.

Can I use these for freshwater lure fishing?

Absolutely. While designed for the sea, the 11g weedless Sandy Andy is a fantastic tool for pike and large perch in weedy canals or lily-pad-heavy lakes where a standard lure would be constantly fouled by vegetation.
