Westin Ricky the Roach 14cm 42g Shadtail Firetiger

Westin Ricky the Roach ST (Shadtail) 14cm 42g — Erratic Action That Triggers Big Predators

At 14cm and 42g, this Firetiger-coloured shadtail hits the water running — an immediate rolling body action combined with an erratic shad tail makes it irresistible to pike and zander from the first retrieve.

Dual-Mode Swimming Action

The slim body rolls tightly around its own axis, creating a constant belly flash that mimics a disoriented roach. The large shad tail kicks and flutters erratically at both slow and fast retrieves, so it stays effective whether you're crawling it along the bottom or burning it back to the boat.

Hand-Painted Detail and Realistic Profile

Westin's hand-painted finish gives the Firetiger colour sharp, high-contrast markings that catch light even in coloured water. Realistic eyes and a lifelike roach silhouette complete the illusion — predators commit confidently rather than following and turning away.
