Westin Ricky the Roach 18cm 85g Shadtail Lively Roach

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

At 18 cm and 85 g, this heavyweight soft bait (Shadtail / Soft Bait) is built for anglers targeting large pike and zander with authority. The Lively Roach finish puts a lifelike, hand-painted roach imitation in the water — and predators rarely pass it up.

Dual-Speed Swimming Action That Never Switches Off

The slim body rolls tightly on its axis at any retrieve speed, flashing its flanks with every turn. Meanwhile, the large shad tail kicks in an erratic, unpredictable beat that mimics a struggling baitfish. The lure starts working the moment it hits the water, so there is no dead zone on the drop or at any point during the retrieve.

Hand-Painted Detail Built to Deceive

Realistic eyes and finely detailed, hand-painted Lively Roach colouring make this lure indistinguishable from the real thing at close range. The slim body profile keeps the silhouette natural while the belly flash adds a triggered gleam that draws strikes from a distance.
