Westin Ricky the Roach Shadtail R2F 18cm 113g — Erratic Action That Big Predators Can't Ignore

At 18cm and 113g, this Ready-to-Fish (R2F) swimbait lands with authority and gets to work the instant it hits the water. In Real Roach colour, it's a near-perfect imitation of one of the most common prey fish in European waters.

Dual-Character Swimming Action

The short shank tail lets the lure glide smoothly at low retrieve speeds, while the large paddle tail kicks into a fast, erratic beat when you speed up. Throughout the retrieve, the high-profile body rolls tightly around its own axis — a belly-flash sequence that triggers pike, zander, and perch in equal measure. Retrieval speed is the one variable you control; the lure handles the rest.

Built to Last, Rigged to Hook

Full wire-through-body construction keeps big fish from tearing the swimbait off the rig. The ultra-sharp carbon steel single hook positioned in the back protects against snagging, while the belly-mounted treble hook maximises hook-up rates on short strikes. Realistic hand-painted detail and lifelike eyes complete a package that leaves nothing to chance. Lead-free and free from toxic phthalates.
