Westin Sandy Andy Weedless Jig Spare Head For 7.5cm Body – 13g

Westin Sandy Andy Weedless Jig Spare Heads | 13g (7.5cm)

When the current picks up or you need to reach that extra bit of depth in snag-heavy terrain, the Westin Sandy Andy Weedless 13g is the professional’s choice. At Gerry’s Fishing, we recommend these spare heads for anglers who need a compact, 7.5cm profile but require enough weight to maintain contact with the seabed in breezy conditions or deeper coastal gullies.

These heads are built around an ultra-realistic lead sandeel design, complete with active 3D eyes that act as a focal point for predators. The custom-made wide gape hook is the heart of the system; it is designed to stay “tucked” within the lure body to glide over kelp, rocks, and debris, only popping out when a fish strikes. Sold in a 2-piece pack, these are a must-have for maintaining your weedless arsenal.

Where to Use the 13g Weedless Sandy Andy

The 13g version offers more versatility than the lighter models, making it ideal for:

• Deeper Reef Marks: Use the extra weight to get your 7.5cm lure down into the “kill zone” on reefs between 5 and 10 meters deep.

• Windy Shore Conditions: When a headwind makes light lures difficult to cast, the 13g head provides the aerodynamic “punch” needed to reach the fish.

• Tidal Estuaries: The 13g head is perfect for “walking” a sandeel imitation along the bottom of a moving tide without the current lifting it too far off the deck.

Pro Tip from Gerry’s Fishing

The Bottom-Bumping Technique: Because this head is weedless, don’t be afraid to let it drag. Cast out and let the lure hit the bottom. Instead of a standard swim, perform a slow crawl with occasional hops. The 13g head will puff up small clouds of sand or silt—just like a real sandeel trying to find a place to hide—which is an irresistible dinner bell for prowling sea bass.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

Why choose the 13g over the 9g head?

It all comes down to “feel.” If you are fishing in more than a few meters of water or there is a noticeable side-wind, the 9g head can “bow” your line, making it hard to feel bites. The 13g head keeps your line tighter and your lure more pinned to the structure.

How do I ensure the hook stays weedless?

When rigging, make sure the hook point is perfectly aligned with the slot in the Sandy Andy body. You can even “skin-hook” the very tip of the hook into the top of the rubber body to make it 100% snag-proof in extremely heavy kelp.

Can I use these for Wrasse?

Absolutely. Ballan Wrasse love a small sandeel profile, but they live in the most snag-prone areas imaginable. The 13g weedless head is arguably the best way to target trophy wrasse without losing a dozen rigs per session.
