Westin Original Perch

Introducing Tomy's Original Perch, a legendary lure crafted through a lifetime's obsession with fish behavior. Partnering with Westin, Tomy's iconic design is now available worldwide. From keeping fish in aquariums, to scuba diving with wild fish, to fishing for them, Tomy became obsessed with developing artificial baits that better mimicked the natural food of predatory fish.

First created in 2015, Tomy’s Original Perch is perhaps his most famous lure. Developed to mimic a small perch, which is in most venues, an important part of the diet of predatory fish. The Original Perch exemplifies Tomy’s attention to detail in the search for the most life-like design possible. Pushing the boundaries of hand-made lure design through continual development, the Original Perch is now at the pinnacle of lure design. The dynamic shape of the Original Perch was later refined with external fins to give a more life-like appearance. Combined with the incredibly realistic hand painted finish, the Original Perch proved irresistible to predatory fish from the start, and its reputation has grown internationally as the designed has developed and been adopted by lure anglers ‘in the know’.

The upward turned design of the paddle tail on the Original Perch has become a signature feature in Tomy’s lures, and gives these lures a unique action. Not only does the tail design give the lure a unique and realistic movement, but it also beats at slow speeds, including whilst free-falling when the retrieve is paused. Whether on a steady retrieve or with slight erratic movements, Westin Original Perch delivers super-effective action for all predatory fish.
