Westin Ricky the Roach 14cm 42g Shadtail Preyfish

Westin Ricky the Roach Shadtail 14 cm / 42 g — Roach Imitation That Triggers Predators on the Drop

The Westin Ricky the Roach ST (Shadtail) in Preyfish puts a convincing roach profile in the water at 14 cm and 42 g — enough casting weight to cover distance and depth while the body works from the first moment it hits the surface.

Dual-Mode Swimming Action for Any Retrieve

The slim body rolls tightly on its axis with every pull, flashing its flanks like a startled baitfish. Simultaneously, the large shad tail kicks erratically and out of sync with the body, creating an unpredictable silhouette that is hard for zander and pike to ignore. The lure produces this action across a wide range of speeds — slow glides and fast rips alike.

Hand-Painted Detail and Realistic Eyes

The Preyfish colour is applied by hand, giving each lure individual depth and contrast that sets it apart from mass-printed alternatives. Realistic moulded eyes add a focal point that encourages predators to commit. The optimised material flexibility means the tail keeps moving even on the pause, which is often when the strike comes.

The Ricky the Roach Shadtail is available in three sizes and a wide colour range. Match the size to your target species and conditions, and the colour to water clarity and light.
