Product Details and Uses

Westin Odonata Ned Creaturebait – 6.5cm (2g) 4pcs: The Ultimate Dragonfly Larva Mimic

Elevate your finesse game with the Westin Odonata Ned, available at Gerry’s Fishing. Dragonfly larvae are a high-protein staple for predators, and the Odonata Ned is arguably the most lifelike representation ever created. Utilizing Hyper Realistic Technology, this 6.5cm lure features a perfectly shaped head, intricate legs, and “flappers” that vibrate at the slightest movement.

Crafted from Super Elastic TPE, this lure is virtually indestructible and highly buoyant. The segmented body and thick tail are designed to stand straight up when fished on a Ned jighead, creating a natural, defensive posture that big Perch, Zander, and Chub find impossible to ignore. Whether you’re shaking it on the bottom or letting it quiver on a drop shot, the Odonata Ned brings a new level of “match-the-hatch” realism to your tackle box.

Why the Odonata Ned is a Finesse Game-Changer

Hyper-Realistic Mimicry: Dragonfly larvae are present in almost every freshwater system. The Odonata’s legs and wings deliver micro-movements on the drop, mimicking a swimming insect with startling accuracy.
Indestructible TPE Material: TPE is incredibly tough. You can stretch it to several times its length without it tearing, meaning one lure can survive dozens of aggressive takes from toothy predators.
Buoyant “Stand-Up” Action: Because TPE is naturally floating, this lure will stand vertically on a Ned head. In this position, the legs and tail move freely in the slightest current, mimicking a larva crawling along the substrate.
Weedless EWG Slot: A hidden hook slot between the wings allows you to rig the Odonata weedless on an EWG/Offset hook, perfect for “poking” into submerged roots or heavy weed where larvae naturally hide.

⚠️ IMPORTANT: TPE Storage Rule

Do NOT store TPE lures with other soft plastics! TPE (Thermoplastic Elastomer) has a chemical reaction when it touches standard PVC soft lures, causing them to melt and deform. Always keep your Odonata Ned baits in their original packaging or a dedicated “TPE-safe” tackle box.

💡 Gerry’s Pro Tip

The “Ned-Shake” Trigger: When fishing the Odonata on a Ned jighead, less is more. Cast it out, let it hit the bottom, and wait for 5 seconds. The buoyant tail will keep it upright. Instead of a full hop, simply “shake” your rod tip on a semi-slack line. This makes the intricate legs and wings shiver without moving the lure out of the strike zone—a lethal tactic for big, cautious Perch!

Frequently Asked Questions

Is TPE better than standard soft plastic?

In terms of durability and buoyancy, yes. It is much harder for a fish to “rip” a TPE lure off the hook. However, the trade-off is that you must be careful with storage to avoid a “meltdown” in your tackle box.

What size Ned head is best for the 6.5cm Odonata?

A size 1 or 1/0 Ned jighead is the perfect fit. Ensure the weight is appropriate for the depth—usually 1.5g to 5g is the sweet spot to maintain that delicate, slow-falling action.

Can I use this on a Dropshot?

Absolutely. The floating nature of the TPE means that on a dropshot, the Odonata will stay perfectly horizontal or slightly “tail-up,” looking exactly like a larva swimming in the mid-water.
