Westin Swim SW Glidebait is the saltwater Swim range, combining a compact baitfish profile with a sideways gliding action. Steady winding can be combined with pulls and pauses. This category brings together one model family, while the general jerkbait and glidebait category helps you compare different models.
The SW designation matters: this is the S120 saltwater range, rather than an interchangeable version of the freshwater Swim. It has an ABS body, wire-through construction and saltwater hardware. Check weight and buoyancy for the individual size. The two new SAF listings presented here share the 12 cm / 60 g specification.
SAF recommendation: establish the retrieve before adding pulls. Start with steady winding and observe the action. Then add a short pull and recover loose line. Keep contact when changing rhythm; a long uncontrolled pause makes both lure position and takes harder to judge.
The Sinking version lets you use sinking time as part of depth control. SAF recommends starting with a short interval and adjusting it gradually to compare casts in a similar layer. Westin does not specify a fixed maximum running depth or measured sinking speed. Judge the presentation in relation to current, line angle and actual retrieve.
Both colours in this selection are 12 cm, 60 g and Sinking. Switching between them changes the appearance while keeping the same length and stated weight. This lets you compare the fish’s response to colour under a similar retrieve.
Atlantic Mackerel offers a mackerel theme. Mahi Mahi is another visual option for the same model; its name does not limit the lure to catching mahi-mahi. When comparing colours, keep the working layer and rhythm similar. If fish follow the lure, also try a change of pace before switching patterns.
Swim SW belongs in active saltwater casting. SAF recommends choosing it for the desired gliding presentation and the conditions at your fishing spot. For the 12 cm / 60 g model, use a rod with a rated casting range that includes this weight, and a leader suited to the fish and abrasion hazards. For deep bottom work, also compare jig models in the Westin SALT selection.
SAF recommendation for connections and care. Check the action with your actual leader and snap attached. After saltwater use, rinse with fresh water, dry the lure and inspect hooks, rings and connections. Replace damaged hardware with components appropriate for the model and your intended fishing.
Frequently asked questions

Yes. Westin describes both a steady retrieve and a pull-and-wind retrieve.
How do these two versions differ?
In colour pattern. Both are 12 cm, 60 g and Sinking.
Is Swim SW the same version as freshwater Swim?
No. SW identifies the S120 saltwater range. Check specifications for that range.
What is its maximum running depth?
Westin does not state a fixed maximum. Sinking time, retrieve, current and tackle affect the working layer.
Is the Mahi Mahi colour only for catching mahi-mahi?
No. Here, Mahi Mahi is the name of the colour pattern.
