Westin Sandy Andy Jig Spare Heads (2-Pack)

The Westin Sandy Andy is a legendary sandeel imitation, but we all know that the rugged saltwater environment can take its toll on your gear. Whether youve lost a head to a snag or simply want to customize your setup with different weights and colours, these Spare Jig Heads are essential for any serious lure anglers tackle box. At Gerrys Fishing, we provide these in convenient 2-piece packs, allowing you to revive your favourite lures or build custom combinations to suit the days conditions.

These heads feature the same high-specification design as the originals: a lead construction with a realistic sandeel profile, active 3D eyes to trigger strikes, and an ultra-sharp, forged Japanese-style sea hook. The Fast Attach system ensures that your soft bodies stay locked in place even during violent takes from sea bass or pollack.

Why Carry Spare Heads?

• Weight Adaptation: Fishing conditions change. Having spare heads in various weights (e.g., 22g for shallow runs and 42g for deeper channels) allows you to use the same soft bodies while adapting to tidal flow.

• Colour Customisation: Sometimes fish want a high-contrast head (like Silver) on a natural body, or vice-versa. Spare heads give you the creative freedom to match the hatch or provide an attractor pattern.

• Hook Integrity: After a heavy session on the wrecks or rocky ground, hooks can eventually dull. Replacing the entire head is the quickest way to ensure you dont lose that next trophy fish due to a blunt point.

Pro Tip from Gerrys Fishing

The Perfect Bond: When fitting a new Sandy Andy body to a spare head, we always recommend adding a single drop of lure glue or superglue to the neck of the jig head before pushing the soft body home. This creates a rock-solid bond that prevents the tail from being pulled down the hook shank by tail-nippers like mackerel or small pollack, ensuring your lure swims perfectly cast after cast.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

Are these heads compatible with other soft plastics?

While specifically designed for the Westin Sandy Andy range to ensure a seamless seamless profile, these heads can be used with other slim sandeel-style soft plastics. However, for the best swimming action and durability, they are best paired with the genuine Sandy Andy replacement bodies.

Do they come with the hooks attached?

Yes, each spare head comes with the ultra-sharp Japanese sea hook pre-moulded into the lead. They are ready to be rigged with a soft body straight out of the packet.

What weight should I choose?

As a general rule at Gerrys:

• 12g 22g: Ideal for shallow estuaries and light shore spinning.

• 32g 62g: Great for deeper coastal marks, piers, and moderate boat drifts.

• 82g+: Specifically for deep-water boat fishing, wrecks, and extreme tidal races.
