Westin Stanley The Stickleback Shadtail Softbait 7.5cm 4g Chartreuse Stickleback

Westin Stanley The Stickleback Shadtail — A Hyper-Realistic Soft Lure That Predators Can't Ignore

The stickleback (a small, protein-rich baitfish found across freshwater and saltwater environments) is a staple meal for countless predators — and Stanley is a 3D-scanned replica that looks, moves, and fishes like the real thing. At 7.5 cm and 4 g in Chartreuse Stickleback, it's a versatile all-rounder for light to medium jigging and dropshot presentations.

Built to Deceive: Life-Like Detail From Every Angle

Westin created Stanley from an actual 3D scan of a live stickleback, then finished it with hand-painted colour details and active eyes that add a final spark of realism. The Chartreuse Stickleback colour is a high-visibility option that works particularly well in stained or low-light water, triggering reaction strikes when subtler colours go unnoticed.

Erratic Action That Triggers Strikes

Made from super-soft, highly flexible plastic, Stanley produces an erratic swimming action with a responsive paddle tail even at the slowest retrieves. This unpredictable movement — combined with the lure's natural profile — draws in perch, pike, zander, sea trout, wrasse, cod, and sea bass across both fresh and salt water.
