Westin Ricky the Roach Shadtail Swimbait R2F 14cm 57g

Westin Ricky the Roach Shadtail Swimbait R2F (Ready-to-Fish) 14cm 57g — Lifelike Action That Tempts Wary Pike

The Westin Ricky the Roach is a roach-imitating soft swimbait engineered for predator fishing, combining a rolling body action with a fast-twitching paddle tail that puts out strong vibrations even at slow retrieve speeds. Available in Bass Orange, it brings an aggressive flash of colour to your pike and perch sessions.

Rolling Flash That Triggers Strikes

As the lure moves through the water, its body rolls continuously on the retrieve, catching and reflecting light from its flanks in a way that mimics a fleeing baitfish. This lifelike shimmer is effective at drawing strikes from even cautious, pressured pike that have seen it all before.

Effective at Slow Speeds Thanks to the Paddle Tail

The compact paddle tail begins working at very low retrieve speeds, generating strong sound waves and an erratic, natural-looking action without any rod input required. Whether you crawl it along the bottom or work it with a steady wind, the tail keeps the lure alive and the predators interested.
