Westin Platypus Floating Crankbait
- The Platypus Project emerged as a challenging yet thrilling venture for Scandinavian lure craftsman, Allan Christiansen.
- Tasked with crafting a lure under strict confidentiality, Westin only had a series of rigorous specifications that demanded an exceptional X-factor and unparalleled rolling action.
- It required 32 prototypes and endless hours of meticulous testing and refinement to perfect this lure.
- The breakthrough came when the final prototype, with its distinctive beak-like design, instantly earned its name—Platypus—mirroring the unique features of the aquatic mammal.
- The outcome is a lure that not only performs exceptionally at slow speeds during the chillier spring months but also dazzles when sped up.
- Since its inception, the Platypus has rapidly ascended to the pinnacle of Scandinavian fishing, becoming the premier choice for catching large pike.
- Responding to avid requests from pike enthusiasts, Westin recently unveiled a new variant: a completely silent version with optimal low-floating buoyancy.
- This lure excels in slow retrievals, maintaining the signature Westin Roll, and subtly rises in the water when paused—irresistible to the wiliest of predators.
