Westin Ricky The Roach Inline 15cm 52g Glitter Roach Sinking

Westin Ricky The Roach Inline 15 cm / 52 g — Hyper-Realistic Soft Bait for Pike and Musky

The Westin Ricky The Roach Inline (Inline Rig System) is built from an actual 3D scan of a roach, preserving every individual scale in the mould. At 15 cm and 52 g in Glitter Roach colour, this sinking soft bait is sized perfectly for everyday pike casting and trolling sessions where a compact but weighty presentation is needed.

Unmatched Realism, Scale by Scale

High-resolution fish-print colour technology — created from real photographs of the scanned roach — is combined with hand-painted details to deliver a level of visual authenticity that standard soft baits simply cannot match. The hard foam core in the head section maintains the bait's shape under repeated strikes, keeping that lifelike profile intact cast after cast.

Inline Rig System with Quick-Change Stinger

The Jointed Stinger HD is connected via a heavy-duty wire leader to a custom-made Westin release plug. On the strike the plug releases, eliminating leverage and improving hook-up rates; resetting it for the next cast takes only seconds. The swivel chain in the assembly prevents line twist while the reinforced mesh joints handle the punishment of large predators. The bait begins its S-shape swimming action from as little as 1.1 knots (2 km/h).

Choose the Right Variant

The Ricky The Roach Inline is available in four lengths and two buoyancy ratings across multiple colours. Match size and sink rate to your target species, water depth and presentation style.

15 cm / 47 g — Slow Sinking (Real Roach, Real Rudd, Redlight Roach, Firetiger Rudd, Glitter Roach): lighter 15 cm option; slower descent suits shallower water or a deliberate, hanging pause retrieve; ideal for pike in 1–4 m
15 cm / 52 g — Sinking (Real Roach, Real Rudd, Redlight Roach, Firetiger Rudd, Glitter Roach): faster sink for deeper casting or faster trolling; the 52 g weight aids long casts; same compact profile as above
20 cm / 110 g — Slow Sinking (Real Roach, Real Rudd, Redlight Roach, Firetiger Rudd, Glitter Roach): mid-size step-up for larger pike; slower sink covers the water column thoroughly at 0.8–0.9 knots (1.5–1.7 km/h)
20 cm / 119 g — Sinking (Real Roach, Real Rudd, Redlight Roach, Firetiger Rudd, Glitter Roach): heavier 20 cm version for faster trolling speeds or deeper runs
25 cm / 210 g — Sinking (Real Roach, Real Rudd, Redlight Roach, Firetiger Rudd, Glitter Roach): serious pike and musky bait; starts swimming at 0.8 knots (1.5 km/h); suits heavy trolling setups
35 cm / 585 g — Sinking (Real Roach, Real Rudd, Redlight Roach, Firetiger Rudd, Glitter Roach): trophy musky and giant pike; minimum swimming speed 0.6 knots (1.1 km/h); heavyweight trolling gear required
