Westin Ricky The Roach Tungsten Vibration Bait 5.5cm 16g Real Roach

Westin Ricky The Roach Tungsten Vibration Bait — Deep-Sinking Precision for Predatory Fish

The Westin Ricky The Roach Tungsten Vibration Bait (5.5 cm / 16 g, Real Roach) combines a tungsten body with a stainless-steel blade to deliver a relentless high-frequency vibrating action that predators find hard to resist. Cast it far, drop it fast, and fish it your way.

Rapid Descent, Deep Reach

The tungsten body weight gives this compact 5.5 cm lure an exceptional sink rate, cutting through the water column quickly to hit deeper drop-offs, ledges, and mid-water zones where the fish are holding. No waiting around — it gets down to business fast.

SS Rattle Chamber Eyes That Trigger Strikes

The metal eyes house a stainless-steel rattle chamber (SS Rattle Chamber) with a single stainless-steel ball inside. The result is a unique, subtle clicking sound that complements the vibrating action and prompts reaction strikes from pike, perch, zander, and other predators across a wide range of conditions.

Choose the Right Variant

The Ricky The Roach Tungsten Vibration Bait is available in two sizes and a range of colours to match different conditions and target species:

• 4.5 cm / 9 g — Real Roach: Lighter option for shallower water or more finesse presentations; suits perch and smaller predators

• 4.5 cm / 9 g — Real Rudd: Natural rudd pattern; versatile for mixed-species fishing in moderate depths

• 4.5 cm / 9 g — Firetiger Rudd: High-visibility colour for coloured or low-light water

• 4.5 cm / 9 g — Glimmer Perch: Flashy finish suited for perch-heavy venues

• 4.5 cm / 9 g — Chartreuse Scale: Strong visual contrast; effective in murky conditions

• 4.5 cm / 9 g — Smelt Scale: Smelt imitation for clear water and pressured fish

• 5.5 cm / 16 g — Real Roach: Heavier, deeper-diving version in a natural roach finish; ideal for deep drop-offs, strong currents, and long-range casting at pike and zander

• 5.5 cm / 16 g — Real Rudd: Same larger profile in rudd colours; good all-rounder at depth

• 5.5 cm / 16 g — Firetiger Rudd: High-contrast option for deep or turbid water

• 5.5 cm / 16 g — Glimmer Perch: Perch-imitating flash pattern at larger size

• 5.5 cm / 16 g — Chartreuse Scale: High-visibility large profile for tough conditions

• 5.5 cm / 16 g — Smelt Scale: Clear-water smelt imitation at the larger, heavier size
