Westin Ricky the Roach Shadtail Swimbait R2F 14cm 57g

Westin Ricky the Roach Shadtail R2F (Ready-to-Fish) 14cm 57g — Glitter Roach — Predator-Fooling Swimbait Action

The Westin Ricky the Roach is a precision-engineered soft swimbait that replicates a roach so convincingly it pulls strikes from even the most wary pike. At 14cm and 57g, it carries well on the cast and gets down fast.

Lifelike Rolling Action That Triggers Predators

The soft body rolls flank-to-flank with every retrieve, flashing its sides just like a struggling baitfish. Combined with the compact paddle tail — which generates strong pressure waves even at very slow speeds — the Ricky the Roach keeps working whether you're crawling it near bottom structure or burning it through open water. Cautious, pressured pike that ignore conventional lures regularly fall for this natural presentation.

Versatile Rigging for Casting and Jigging

Fitted with a size 10/0 single hook and a size 1 carbon steel treble, the Ricky the Roach is rigged and ready straight out of the packet. The 57g body weight loads a medium-heavy spinning or baitcasting rod effectively, delivering long, accurate casts. Retrieve it steadily for a straight-swimming glide, or work it with lifts and drops on the jig — both techniques produce.

Choose the Right Variant

The Ricky the Roach Shadtail is available in two sizes and a wide colour selection — match size and colour to species, water clarity, and the season:

• Westin Ricky the Roach 14cm 57g — Glitter Roach(this product): Single hook size 10/0, treble hook size 1 carbon steel. A natural roach pattern with added glitter finish — excellent in clear to lightly coloured water for pike and zander.

• Westin Ricky the Roach 14cm 57g — Real Roach: Realistic naturalistic finish; ideal clear-water, wary-fish situations.

• Westin Ricky the Roach 14cm 57g — Lively Roach: Slightly enhanced contrast for low-light or overcast conditions.
