Westin Perch Shadtail — Ultrarealistic Predator Softbait That Works Even at a Crawl

Originally designed by Tommy's Bait and now available worldwide through Westin, the Original Perch Shadtail (soft bait/shad tail) is a hand-crafted soft lure built around one of the most iconic forage fish in European waters. At 9 cm and 8 g, the T Perch colour variant brings exceptional realism to your predator fishing.

Signature Upturned Paddle Tail — Action When It Matters Most

The defining feature of the Original Perch is its upward-turned paddle tail. Unlike conventional shad tails, this design keeps the lure working at ultra-slow retrieve speeds and continues to beat during the free-fall phase when you pause the retrieve. This makes it deadly on the drop — exactly when hesitant predators commit to an attack. Fish it on a slow, steady retrieve or add subtle pauses to trigger reactive bites.

Hand-Painted Perch Profile — Built to Fool Wary Fish

Every detail of the Original Perch reflects Tommy's obsession with lifelike design. External fins enhance the body silhouette, and the hand-painted finish — including detailed eyes and natural perch patterning — reproduces the look of a real juvenile perch. Perch is a universal forage species across most European venues, making the T Perch colour a highly versatile choice for pike, zander, large perch, and asp.

Choose the Right Variant

The Original Perch range spans five sizes, covering everything from ultra-finesse light-tackle fishing to big-bait tactics for trophy predators. All variants share the same signature upturned paddle tail and realistic hand-painted perch profiles. Colour options include T Perch, T Gold Perch, Real Perch, Striking Perch, and Motoroil Perch.
