Westin Ricky the Roach 14cm 42g Shadtail Firetiger Rudd

Westin Ricky the Roach ST (Shadtail) 14 cm 42 g — Predator-Fooling Action at Any Speed

The Westin Ricky the Roach Shadtail in Firetiger Rudd is a 14 cm, 42 g roach imitation built to trigger pike and zander the moment it hits the water. A rolling body pairs with an erratic shad tail for a presentation that works at slow or fast retrieves alike.

Dual-Rhythm Action That Never Stops Working

The slim body rolls tightly on its own axis as it moves through the water column, flashing its flanks to mimic a disoriented baitfish. Simultaneously, the large shad tail beats in an erratic, unpredictable rhythm — giving predators two visual triggers in one lure. The action kicks in immediately on entry, so you're fishing from the first metre down.

Hand-Painted Detail and Realistic Eyes

The Firetiger Rudd finish is applied by hand, blending the high-visibility Firetiger pattern with warm rudd tones for strong contrast in coloured or low-light water. Realistic moulded eyes add a focal point that draws strikes, while the optimised soft-plastic compound flexes naturally to improve hooking on short takes.

Choose the Right Variant

The Ricky the Roach Shadtail is available in three body lengths and a wide colour range to cover different target species, water clarity, and rig weights.
