Westin Stanley The Stickleback Shadtail Softbait 5.5cm 1.5g Clear Water Mix 9

Westin Stanley The Stickleback Shadtail 5.5 cm / 1.5 g – Lifelike Micro Predator Bait for Finesse Fishing

Based on a 3D scan of a real stickleback — one of the most protein-rich snacks in a predator's diet — Stanley the Stickleback Shadtail delivers uncanny realism in a compact 5.5 cm, 1.5 g package. Clear Water Mix 9 is a natural, translucent colour blend designed to shine in clear water conditions.

Ultra-Soft Construction for Maximum Action

Moulded from super-soft, highly flexible plastic, Stanley reacts to the lightest current and the slowest retrieve. The easy-action paddle tail kicks and flutters from the moment it hits the water, generating an erratic, lifelike swimming action that triggers reaction strikes even from neutral fish.

Attention to Detail That Fools Predators

Every Stanley carries hand-painted colour details and active 3D eyes that bring the bait to life at close quarters. The sculpt itself is derived from a real stickleback scan, so proportions, fin placement and body taper all match the natural prey fish that perch, pike, zander, sea bass, wrasse and cod key in on throughout the season.
