Westin Ricky The Roach Inline 20cm 119g Firetiger Rudd Sinking

Westin Ricky The Roach Inline 20 cm / 119 g – Hyper-Realistic Pike & Musky Soft Bait

The Ricky The Roach Inline (Inline Rig System) is built on an actual 3D scan of a real roach, with every individual scale faithfully reproduced in high-resolution fish-print colour technology and hand-painted finishing. At 20 cm and 119 g, this sinking soft bait covers the mid-range size that triggers confident takes from double-figure pike and trophy musky alike – whether you're casting or trolling.

Hyper-Realistic Detail That Fools Pressured Fish

Few lures look convincing up close; the Ricky The Roach Inline looks indistinguishable from the real thing. The body is moulded from a true 3D scan and finished with actual roach-image prints, so colours, scale texture, and body profile all match a live baitfish. A hard-foam core inside the head section maintains shape and buoyancy consistency cast after cast, while reinforced mesh joints keep the lure intact under aggressive strikes.

Inline Rig System with Jointed Stinger HD

The built-in Inline Rig System pairs with a Jointed Stinger HD – carbon steel hooks with the sharpness to penetrate hard pike jaws reliably. A custom Westin release plug disengages cleanly on the strike and resets in seconds, while the swivel chain eliminates leverage so the fish can't use the lure body to throw the hook. The heavy-duty wire leader is quick to swap or adjust bankside without tools.

Choose the Right Variant

The Ricky The Roach Inline is available across four body lengths and two sink rates, letting you match the hatch and the conditions precisely.

15 cm / 47 g – Slow Sinking (Real Roach, Real Rudd, Redlight Roach, Firetiger Rudd, Glitter Roach): finesse presentations, clear-water rivers and canals, smaller pike on light tackle, starts swimming from 0.8 knots / 1.5 km/h
15 cm / 52 g – Sinking (Real Roach, Real Rudd, Redlight Roach, Firetiger Rudd, Glitter Roach): same compact profile but faster drop; vertical jigging or fast-retrieve casting, starts swimming from 1.1 knots / 2 km/h
20 cm / 110 g – Slow Sinking (Firetiger Rudd, Real Roach, Real Rudd, Redlight Roach, Glitter Roach): mid-size, ultra-slow retrieves, cold-water trolling at 0.8 knots / 1.5 km/h, ideal when pike follow but won't commit
20 cm / 119 g – Sinking (Firetiger Rudd, Real Roach, Real Rudd, Redlight Roach, Glitter Roach): this variant — assertive sink rate for casting into depth or trolling from 0.9 knots / 1.7 km/h; stained water and coloured patterns like Firetiger Rudd excel in low-visibility conditions
25 cm / 210 g – Sinking (Firetiger Rudd, Real Roach, Real Rudd, Redlight Roach, Glitter Roach): big-bait trolling and deep casting for large pike and musky; starts swimming from 0.8 knots / 1.5 km/h
35 cm / 585 g – Sinking (Firetiger Rudd, Real Roach, Real Rudd, Redlight Roach, Glitter Roach): dedicated trophy musky and giant pike weapon; slow, powerful action from 0.6 knots / 1.1 km/h
