Westin Long-Cast Rig

Deadbait rig for maximum casting distance
The Westin Long-Cast Rig is a specially designed deadbait rig that has been developed for extremely long and controlled casts with dead bait fish. It enables stable, tangle-free bait presentation over long distances and is aimed at pike anglers who want to fish specific spots far out.

Construction and material
Made from 30 lb, 7-strand steel wire, the Long-Cast Rig offers reliable protection against pike teeth and can easily withstand the stresses of powerful long-distance casts. Inconspicuous camouflage ferrules secure all connections and reduce light reflections, keeping the rig as discreet as possible in the water. The leader is equipped with two extra-strong, ultra-sharp treble hooks that provide optimal coverage for the bait fish. This double treble hook configuration ensures a very high hook-up rate, even when pike attack the bait from the side or in the middle.

Long cast concept and bait fixation
A characteristic feature of the rig is the special loop attachment for the bait fish. It holds the bait securely in place even during hard casts and prevents it from slipping or being damaged on impact. The stretched design of the leader minimises tangles in the air and supports a clean flight path. This keeps the bait controllable even at long distances and ensures it is presented precisely at the desired spot.

Areas of application
The long-cast rig is ideal for bottom and float fishing with dead bait fish at long distances. Whether fishing from the bank over wide shallow areas or from a boat at distant edges and structures, the rig keeps the bait stable and reliably utilises bites.
