FEATURE | WESTIN
WALK THE FROG Westin’s top water lures have found a way into many anglers tackle bags. One of its
most creative yet eff ective top water lures is its intriguingly named Freddy The Frog.
In France, frog’s legs are a delicacy –
yet for Westin, its latest lure creation
is a work of art!
Freddy the Frog comes hopping
onto the scene as the predator anglers’
new favourite top water bait – with its
crazy, crawling action and lifelike legs
this lure will provoke curiosity in the
most cautious of predator fi sh.
The Westin team took its products
to the 2018 ICAST
show held in
Orlando, Florida
where Freddy The
Frog beat stiff
competition in the
Freshwater Hard
Lure category
at the Best New
Product Showcase.
