Westin Ricky the Roach 18cm 85g Shadtail Preyfish

Westin Ricky the Roach Shadtail 18 cm / 85 g — Maximum Profile for Serious Predator Fishing

At 18 cm and 85 g, this is the heavyweight of the Ricky the Roach Shadtail family — built to draw strikes from large pike and zander when smaller profiles aren't getting the job done.

Dual-Action Body That Works at Any Speed

The slim body rolls tightly around its own axis the moment it enters the water, flashing its flanks with every turn. At the same time, the large shad tail beats in an erratic, unpredictable rhythm that triggers reaction bites at both slow and fast retrieves. You don't need to nurse this lure — it earns its keep at any pace.

Lifelike Finish That Fools Predators

Hand-painted in detailed Preyfish colours with realistic eyes, the 18 cm version presents a convincing roach profile that big predators find hard to ignore. The slim body and belly flash mimic the natural silhouette and light scatter of a fleeing baitfish, making it effective in clear to lightly coloured water.
