Westin Ricky the Roach 10cm 14g Shadtail Headlight

Westin Ricky the Roach Shadtail 10 cm / 14 g – Headlight – Roach-Perfect Action for Pike & Zander

The Westin Ricky the Roach Shadtail (Soft Bait) in Headlight is a slim, hand-painted roach imitation that kicks into life the instant it enters the water – and keeps fishing effectively at both slow and fast retrieves.

Dual-Speed Action That Always Produces

The compact 10 cm body rolls tightly around its own axis, sending bright belly flashes through the water column, while the easy-action shad tail beats in an erratic, unpredictable rhythm. Whether you slow-roll it near the bottom or rip it through mid-water, the bait never loses its appeal. Optimised flexibility in the soft material means the tail responds to the slightest current or rod twitch.

Hand-Painted Realism That Fools Predators

Realistic, detailed hand-painted colours and lifelike eyes make this lure convincing enough that coarse fish might mistake it for a real roach – so predators certainly will. The Headlight colour delivers a high-visibility profile that stands out in coloured water or low-light conditions, making it a strong choice when zander and pike are active at dawn, dusk, or after rain.
