Westin Sandy Fixed | 12cm 24g The Ultimate Casting Sandeel

The Westin Sandy Fixed 24g takes the legendary success of the Sandy Inline and packages it into a streamlined, high-performance fixed lure. At Gerrys Fishing, we find the 24g version to be the premier choice for anglers who need to cover massive amounts of water. By combining a zinc and ABS plastic construction, Westin has created a lure that casts like a bullet but swims with the erratic, lifelike grace of a real sandeel.

This lead-free lure features a built-in rattle that sends out high-frequency vibrations, making it an exceptional choice for sea bass and seatrout in choppy surf or low-visibility conditions. With its wired-through construction, you can fish with total confidence knowing that the lure is built to withstand the most violent strikes from large saltwater predators.

Where to Use the 12cm 24g Sandy Fixed

The 24g Sandy Fixed is designed for power fishing in demanding environments:

• Distance Casting on Beaches: The aerodynamic profile and 24g weight allow you to punch through head-winds and reach distant sandbars where larger bass congregate.

• Deep Rocky Headlands: Ideal for casting into deep water and allowing the lure to sink. The zinc construction ensures a stable flight and a controlled flutter on the drop.

• Fast-Moving Tides: The 12cm profile and internal rattle make this lure highly visible and audible in the rushing water of tidal races or estuary mouths.

Pro Tip from Gerrys Fishing

The Surface Burn: In the summer months when sandeels are being pushed to the surface by schoolie bass, try the Burn and Pause method. Retrieve the Sandy Fixed at a high speed so it creates a wake just below the surface, then suddenly stop. The internal rattle will settle, and the lure will shimmy downwardthis sudden change in speed and sound is a massive trigger for aggressive bass.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

Is the hook saltwater resistant?

Yes, the Sandy Fixed comes equipped with an ultra-sharp treble hook designed specifically for the harsh conditions of saltwater angling. However, to keep it in prime condition, we always recommend a quick rinse in fresh water after your session.

What is the benefit of the zinc construction?

Zinc is an excellent lead-free alternative that provides a high density for casting while allowing the lure to have a more responsive action in the water than heavier lead-core lures. It also ensures the lure is environmentally friendly.

Can I replace the treble with a single hook?

Absolutely. Many of our customers at Gerrys prefer to use a single inline hook for easier unhooking and to reduce the chance of snagging on weed. The fixed wire eyelet makes swapping hooks simple and fast.
