Westin Ricky the Roach 10cm 14g Shadtail Lively Roach

Westin Ricky the Roach Shadtail 10 cm / 14 g — A Roach Imitation That Works at Any Speed

The Westin Ricky the Roach Shadtail (Soft Bait) in Lively Roach is a compact, precisely painted soft lure that triggers takes from the moment it enters the water — whether you're working it slow and steady or snapping it through the water column with an erratic retrieve.

Tight Rolling Body Action That Flashes the Flanks

At 10 cm and 14 g, the slim body profile generates a controlled rolling motion around its own axis with every twitch or pull. That subtle lateral flash mimics the natural side-on shimmer of a small roach drifting through the water — exactly what zander and pike key in on when hunting near the bottom or in open water.

Easy-Action Shad Tail for Erratic Movement

The paddle-shaped shad tail kicks and wobbles independently of retrieve speed, adding an unpredictable, erratic pulse that complements the body roll. Optimised flexibility in the material means the tail responds to even the lightest current or rod tip movement, keeping the lure alive during a slow fall or a pause — often the moment a predator commits.
