Westin Ricky the Roach 18cm 85g Shadtail Real Roach

Westin Ricky the Roach 18cm 85g Shadtail — Life-Like Roach Action for Big Predators

At 18cm and 85g, this large-format soft bait (ST — Shadtail) hits the water and gets straight to work, combining a tight rolling body action with an erratic shad tail kick that predators simply cannot ignore.

Dual-Action Swimming Behaviour

The slim body rolls on its own axis as it moves through the water, sending out realistic belly flashes that mimic a disoriented prey fish. Meanwhile, the large paddle tail beats in a fast, irregular rhythm — active and enticing at any retrieve speed, whether you're crawling it along the bottom or ripping it through the water column.

Convincing Roach Imitation

The Real Roach colour is hand-painted with meticulous detail, giving the lure a natural finish that closely resembles a live roach. Realistic eyes and an optimised body flexibility add to the illusion, making this 18cm profile a credible target for big pike and zander that have seen plenty of lures before.
