Westin Ricky the Roach 14cm 42g Shadtail Lively Roach

Westin Ricky the Roach ST (Shadtail) 14cm 42g — A Roach Imitation That Works at Any Speed

The Westin Ricky the Roach Shadtail in Lively Roach delivers a tight rolling body action the moment it enters the water, combined with an erratic shad tail that triggers strikes from pike and zander at virtually any retrieve speed.

Dual-Action Design for Versatile Presentations

The slim, roach-profile body rolls naturally on its axis as it moves, flashing its flanks to mimic a disoriented baitfish. At the same time, the wide shad tail kicks and paddles independently, adding an erratic pulse that predators find hard to ignore — whether you're working it fast or letting it glide slowly through the strike zone.

Hand-Painted Detail That Sells the Illusion

The Lively Roach colour is applied by hand with close attention to flank detail and belly finish. Realistic moulded eyes complete the picture, making this 14cm bait convincing enough to fool wary fish in clear water. At 42g, it loads a rod well for both jigging and casting, giving you the versatility to cover different depths and distances.
