Product Details and Uses

Westin Sandy Andy Jig | 7.7cm 5g – The Ultimate Micro Sandeel

Small in stature but massive in performance, the Westin Sandy Andy 7.7cm 5g is the “finesse” specialist of the range. At Gerry’s Fishing, we find this mini-sandeel to be an essential tool when predators are focused on tiny fry or when fishing in ultra-clear, calm conditions. This is the most realistic micro-imitation on the market, designed to fool even the most cautious sea bass, wrasse, and mackerel.

Each lure is built around a 5g pre-moulded lead head and a super-soft, flexible body that pulses at the slightest movement. Despite its light weight, it maintains the legendary Sandy Andy action, providing a “throbbing” swimming motion that saltwater predators find irresistible. Each pack includes one jig head and two soft bodies, giving you a spare tail to keep the action going after a few hard-fighting catches.

Where to Use the 7.7cm 5g Sandy Andy

The 5g Sandy Andy is a master of light lure fishing (LRF) and finesse applications:

LRF & Micro-Jigging: The perfect weight for exploring pier stanchions, harbor walls, and rock pools for pollack, wrasse, and blennies.
Clear Water Estuaries: When the water is “gin clear” and fish are spooky, this small profile is less intimidating than larger lures and more likely to draw a strike.
Matching the Hatch: In early summer when “sandeel sprats” are abundant, this 7.7cm profile perfectly matches the size of the natural forage being chased by mackerel and schoolie bass.

Pro Tip from Gerry’s Fishing

The Ultra-Light Dart: To truly unlock the potential of the 5g Sandy Andy, use an ultra-light rod with a sensitive solid tip. Instead of a steady retrieve, try tiny, rhythmic twitches of the rod tip. This causes the 5g head to dart and glide erratically in the top layers of the water, mimicking a panicked young sandeel. This “micro-darting” is often the only thing that will trigger a bite on hot, still summer afternoons.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

What is the best line for a 5g lure?

To maximize casting distance and feel, we recommend a very fine braided line (0.04mm to 0.08mm) or a 3-4lb fluorocarbon mainline. Using a light leader is crucial to ensure the 5g head isn’t “damped” by heavy line.

Can this lure handle mackerel?

Absolutely. Mackerel find the 7.7cm profile irresistible. The #2 Japanese hook is incredibly sharp and will provide an excellent hook-up ratio even when fish are “nipping” at the tail.

How do I rig the replacement body?

The small 5g head features a mounting pin. Simply slide the body onto the pin and ensure the hook point emerges through the center of the back. For these smaller models, we recommend a tiny drop of superglue at the join to keep everything secure during fast-paced light lure sessions.
