Westin Ricky The Roach Inline 25cm 210g Glitter Roach Sinking

Westin Ricky The Roach Inline 25 cm / 210 g – Hyper-Realistic Pike & Musky Soft Bait

At 25 cm and 210 g, the Ricky The Roach Inline (Inline Rig System) is Westin's mid-size big-predator weapon — built from a genuine 3D scan of a real roach, right down to each individual scale. The Glitter Roach finish adds a flash-reactive sparkle that triggers strikes in coloured or low-clarity water. Ready to fish straight out of the packet, casting or trolling.

Hyper-Realistic Detail That Fools Wary Predators

Westin created this lure from an actual 3D scan of a roach, preserving the texture of every single scale. High-resolution real-fish-print colour technology and hand-painted details complete the illusion. The result is a lure that looks, moves, and behaves like a living baitfish — even under the scrutiny of pressured pike and musky.

Inline Rig Engineering for Higher Hook-Up Rates

The custom Westin release plug detaches on the strike and resets in seconds for the next cast. The Jointed Stinger HD — fitted with ultra-sharp carbon steel hooks — is connected via a heavy-duty wire leader through a swivel chain that eliminates leverage and keeps the fish pinned. Reinforced mesh joints and a hard foam core in the head maintain structural integrity cast after cast. The lure begins its S-shape swimming action from as low as 0.8 knots / 1.5 km/h, keeping it active even at a slow troll or steady retrieve.

Choose the Right Variant

The Ricky The Roach Inline is available in four sizes and multiple colours. Match size to your target species and conditions, and pick a colour to suit water clarity.

• 15 cm / 47 g – Slow Sinking (Real Roach, Real Rudd, Firetiger Rudd, Glitter Roach): ultra-finesse; ideal for smaller pike, perch-rich venues, or when big predators are shy — slow, shallow presentations

• 15 cm / 52 g – Sinking (Real Roach, Real Rudd, Firetiger Rudd, Glitter Roach, Redlight Roach): compact and fast-sinking; great for jigging, drop-offs, or fast-retrieve casting

• 20 cm / 110 g – Slow Sinking (Real Roach, Real Rudd, Firetiger Rudd, Glitter Roach, Redlight Roach): versatile mid-size for pike at all depths; slow-sinking allows precise depth control on a steady retrieve

• 20 cm / 119 g – Sinking (Real Roach, Real Rudd, Firetiger Rudd, Glitter Roach, Redlight Roach): heavier mid-size for deeper water, stronger currents, or longer casts

• 25 cm / 210 g – Sinking, Glitter Roach: the current variant — a substantial mid-large bait that sinks decisively and covers the water column efficiently; the Glitter Roach finish adds flash for stained or murky conditions; suits pike and musky from open water to reservoir trolling

• 25 cm / 210 g – Sinking (Real Roach, Real Rudd, Firetiger Rudd, Redlight Roach): same size and action in natural or high-vis colour options

• 35 cm / 585 g – Sinking (Real Roach, Real Rudd, Firetiger Rudd, Glitter Roach, Redlight Roach): trophy-class bait for specimen pike and giant musky; deep trolling or heavy casting setups
