The Ricky the Roach is available in three core sizes: 10cm (14g, 2-pack), 14cm (42g, 1-pack), and 18cm (85g, 1-pack). The 10cm is best for clear water and active fish, the 14cm is a versatile all-rounder, and the 18cm targets larger pike and zander in deeper water.
Shadtail variants feature a large, aggressive paddle tail that produces maximum flash and vibration—ideal for covering water quickly and triggering strikes. SL/ST (Slow/Standard Tail) variants have a shorter, more subtle tail action, making them better suited for slower presentations and finesse techniques in pressured waters or cold conditions.
The Ricky the Roach is versatile and works on jig heads (for vertical jigging), drop-shot rigs (finesse presentation), Texas rigs (weedless), Carolina rigs (bottom contact), and simple weighted hooks (casting). Start with a 2–5g jig head for 10cm versions and 5–10g for larger sizes, depending on water depth and current.
The Ricky the Roach is particularly effective for pike, zander, and perch in freshwater. Its realistic roach profile also attracts large bass, trout, and other opportunistic predators. In coastal areas with roach-like baitfish, it works well for sea trout and other saltwater predators.
The Ricky the Roach excels year-round in both clear and murky water. In spring and summer, use aggressive Shadtail variants to cover water quickly. In autumn and winter, switch to SL/ST variants for slower, more subtle presentations. It works equally well in small streams, lakes, and river systems.
Choose natural patterns (Real Roach, Real Rudd) in clear water with plenty of light to match the local baitfish. In murky, weedy, or low-light conditions, go for bright, high-visibility colors like Firetiger, Redlight, or Headlight. Preyfish (natural with subtle detail) works as a versatile all-rounder in varying conditions.

A versatile soft plastic shad that delivers natural roach-like action at any retrieve speed. Whether you're working it slowly through deep water or casting fast along the shallows, this lure triggers aggressive strikes from pike, zander, perch, and other predators.
The Ricky the Roach features a slim body with a large paddle tail that generates erratic, high-pressure fluttering on the drop and during retrieves. The shorter leading section glides smoothly while the tail kick provides constant flash and vibration—mimicking the desperate escape behavior of a fleeing baitfish. Hand-painted with realistic eye detail and natural coloration, it looks just like a real roach.
The Ricky the Roach is pre-rigged and ready to fish straight out of the pack. It works on jig heads, drop-shot rigs, Texas rigs, and simple weighted hooks, making it adaptable to different water depths and techniques. Cast it on spinning tackle or jig it vertically from a boat.
Often copied but never matched, the Ricky the Roach range spans three core sizes: 10cm, 14cm, and 18cm. Select your size based on water depth and target species—smaller 10cm versions are ideal for active predators in clear water, while 18cm models target pike and larger zander in deeper or turbid conditions. Each size is available in proven color patterns including natural tones (Real Roach, Real Rudd), high-visibility options (Firetiger, Redlight, Headlight), and specialty blends (Preyfish, Bass Orange).
