WESTIN Platypus Floating Minnow 220 mm 150g Headlight

The Platypus Project was a tough assignment for the Scandinavian lure maker Allan Christiansen.

We wanted to keep it all secret and we didn´t even have a name for the lure - only a list of impossible demands, including a lot of X-factor and the best rolling movement ever seen on a lure! When we saw the look of the final prototype the name was obvious due to the resemblance of the beak on a real platypus.

Since its creation by lure maker Allan Christiansen, Platypus became Scandinavia´s leading big pike lure in no time.

And now we´ve answered the clamour from pike specialists for a completely silent big boy with perfect low floating buoyancy.

Fish it extremely slow and it still got the famous Westin Roll.

At a pause in the retrieve, it hangs and slowly rises in the water - very appealing to large, tricky predators.

´´It took me 32 different proto types and countless hours of testing and ad- justing to achieve what I was looking for.

The result is a unique lure with an incredible action and swimming pattern - even when fished at extreme slow speed for tricky pike during the coldest part of spring.

When fished at high speed the action of the lure is just as incredible.

I have no doubt that this will become a classic big fish lure in the future.
