Westin Stanley The Stickleback Shadtail Softbait 5.5cm 1.5g Baitfish Glitter

Westin Stanley The Stickleback Shadtail — Finesse Softbait That Thinks Like a Predator

The stickleback (three-spined stickleback) is one of the most nutritious small fish in both fresh and salt water — a high-fat, protein-rich bite that predators rarely pass up. Stanley The Stickleback Shadtail is a true 3D scan of the real thing, hand painted and built to trigger that same instinctive response from fish of all sizes.

Life-Like Action from an Ultra-Soft Body

Moulded from super-soft, highly flexible plastic, Stanley comes alive at the slowest retrieve speeds. The easy-action paddle tail beats with every subtle twitch, producing an erratic, lifelike swimming action that draws strikes when more rigid lures go ignored. Active 3D eyes add a realistic focal point that short-striking fish tend to home in on.

Versatile Rigging for Any Situation

At 5.5 cm and just 1.5 g, Stanley is a precision finesse tool. Mount it on a light jighead for controlled vertical or horizontal presentations, or rig it on a dropshot for hovering it right in a predator's face. It performs equally well in freshwater and saltwater — perch, pike, zander, sea bass, trout, and wrasse are all fair game.
