Westin Ricky the Roach Shadtail Swimbait R2F 14cm 57g

Westin Ricky the Roach Shadtail — R2F (Ready to Fish) Swimbait That Triggers Reluctant Predators

The Westin Ricky the Roach Shadtail in Bling Perch is a 14 cm, 57 g ready-to-fish (R2F) soft swimbait built to fool pike, zander, and perch with a deceptively lifelike roach imitation.

Rolling Action That Flashes Its Flanks on Every Retrieve

The soft body rolls continuously as it swims, catching and reflecting light to mimic the flank-flashing of a fleeing baitfish. Even at low retrieve speeds the paddle tail kicks and pulses, generating vibration that draws attention from distance — making it effective when fish are passive or holding deep.

Versatile Casting and Jigging Swimbait

At 57 g and 14 cm the lure loads a rod effortlessly for long casts over open water, along weed edges, or across river channels. It can be worked with a steady retrieve, a slow roll near bottom, or an active jig-and-pause cadence — giving you options to match the mood of the fish on the day. The single hook (size 10/0) and carbon-steel treble (size 1) provide solid hook-up coverage across the body.
