Westin Ricky the Roach 18cm 85g Shadtail Headlight

Westin Ricky the Roach Shadtail 18 cm / 85 g – Big-Bait Action for Trophy Predators

At 18 cm and 85 g, this large-format Shadtail (Soft Bait) is built for anglers who are serious about targeting pike and zander in Headlight colour — a lure that gets to work the instant it hits the water.

Dual-Personality Swimming Action

The slim body rolls tightly on its own axis with each retrieve, flashing its flanks like a real roach in distress. At the same time, the large shad tail beats erratically and unevenly — whether you work it slow or fast, the action never switches off. The result is a bait that looks and moves convincingly at almost any speed.

Realistic Roach Profile

Hand-painted details and lifelike eyes give this lure the kind of credibility that makes predators commit. The slim body profile mirrors the silhouette of an actual roach, making it a natural choice when zander and pike are keyed in on baitfish. Headlight is a high-visibility colour suited to low-light conditions, coloured or murky water where contrast counts.
