Westin Ricky the Roach Shadtail Swimbait R2F 14cm 57g

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

The Westin Ricky the Roach is a soft swimbait built for casting and jigging after pike and zander, combining a rolling body action with a responsive paddle tail that works even at the slowest retrieves. This Blue Grass variant adds a subtle, natural flash that stands out in clear to lightly coloured water.

Rolling Action That Mimics a Fleeing Roach

At the core of this lure is a tight, rolling body motion that flashes its flanks on every turn — exactly how a wounded or startled roach behaves. Paired with a short paddle tail that generates strong pressure waves even at low speed, the Ricky the Roach triggers reaction strikes from pike that have seen every lure in the box. The soft body flexes naturally through the water column, making the imitation convincing from multiple angles.

Ready to Fish, Built to Last

The lure ships rigged with a size 10/0 single hook and a size 1 treble hook, so you can tie on and start fishing immediately. The internal weight system keeps the bait stable on the cast and controls depth during the retrieve or jig. The soft yet durable body holds its shape through repeated casts and fish — no constant re-rigging needed. Construction is lead-free throughout.
