Westin Stanley the Stickleback Shadtail Softbait 5.5cm 1.5g

Westin Stanley the Stickleback Shadtail — Compact Soft Bait for Perch & Zander

The Westin Stanley the Stickleback Shadtail is a 5.5 cm, 1.5 g paddle-tail soft bait (soft bait) built for finesse fishing in clear water and pressured venues where smaller profiles outperform larger lures.

Irresistible Paddle-Tail Action

The boot-shaped tail generates a strong, rhythmic kick even at slow retrieve speeds or in a dead-sticking pause. This consistent movement triggers reaction strikes from perch and zander alike, whether you are crawling it along the bottom or letting it hover in the water column on a drop shot rig.

Ultra-Soft Material with Active Eyes

The exceptionally soft and flexible rubber compound transmits every current and rod twitch into the body, giving the bait a lifelike flex that stiffer plastics simply cannot match. The active eyes add a secondary visual stimulus, increasing attraction in clear conditions — particularly useful in the Pearl Stickleback colour, which mimics the flanks of a small baitfish.

Choose the Right Variant

The Stanley the Stickleback Shadtail is available in a range of colours to match different water clarities, light levels, and forage. Pick the shade that fits your conditions:

• Pearl Stickleback — natural silver-white baitfish imitation; ideal for clear water, bright conditions, and wherever small fry are present; suits perch and zander on jig heads and drop shot

• Spawning — trigger colour for early-season or pressured fish

• Additional colour variants available; select the option that matches your local forage or current light conditions
