Westin Carolina Rig Kit 70cm – 10g – Size 2 2pc

Westin Carolina Rig Kit (70cm, 10g) – Size 2 (2-Pack)

At Gerry’s Fishing, we know that when the bite gets tough, a refined presentation is the key to success. The Westin Carolina Rig Kit is a professional-grade, pre-tied solution designed for anglers who want the perfect “weight-free” lure action without the hassle of tying complex rigs on the bank.

The Carolina Rig is legendary for its ability to catch wary Perch and Zander. By separating the weight from the lure, your soft plastic can flutter, glide, and suspend naturally in the water column. This 10g kit uses premium W6 ST3 Fluorocarbon, providing near-invisibility and high abrasion resistance, all neatly wound on a reusable EVA spool for easy storage.

The “Click” Factor

This kit includes UV Fluo plastic beads. When the 10g matte black bullet weight slides down the line and hits the bead, it creates a distinct “clicking” sound that mimics the snap of a crayfish or a feeding prey fish—acoustically triggering predators to investigate.

Where & How to Use

The 10g weight and Size 2 EWG (Extra Wide Gap) hook make this an incredibly versatile setup for various venues:

• Canals & Stillwaters: Perfect for fishing over silty bottoms or light weed. The 70cm leader ensures your lure stays out of the debris while the weight stays on the bottom.

• River Fishing: Excellent for “dragging” through slow-moving river slacks. The 10g weight is heavy enough to maintain contact with the bed, while the offset hook makes it virtually weedless—perfect for fishing through sunken branches or roots.

• Drop-Offs & Margins: Use a slow “drag and pause” retrieve. Often, the strike comes during the pause when the lure is slowly sinking behind the weight.

• Target Species: Perfectly scaled for Large Perch, Chub, and Zander.

Technical Specifications & Components

Product Highlights:

• Ready-to-Fish: Pre-rigged by experts to ensure perfect knot strength and spacing.

• Stealthy Presentation: High-quality fluorocarbon is virtually invisible underwater and sinks faster than mono.

• Weedless Design: The EWG offset hooks allow you to bury the hook point in your soft plastic, letting you fish the “heavy cover” where the big ones hide.

Gerry’s Verdict: If you’ve ever struggled to balance a Carolina rig correctly, this Westin kit is the answer. The use of matte black weights and UV beads shows they’ve thought about the details. It’s a must-have for any perch angler’s bag, especially when the fish are sitting just off the bottom and being shy
