Westin Stanley the Stickleback Shadtail Softbait 9cm 7g Lively Roach

Westin Stanley the Stickleback Shadtail — Finesse Softbait That Mimics a Real Stickleback

The Westin Stanley the Stickleback Shadtail is a 9 cm, 7 g finesse soft bait built around the shape and movement of an actual stickleback — one of the most recognised prey fish for predators across European waters.

Seductive Action from an Ultra-Soft Body

The Stanley the Stickleback is moulded from an exceptionally supple material that lets the paddle tail kick hard even at the slowest retrieve speeds. That lively, rolling action is what triggers reluctant perch and pike-perch into biting when harder plastics fail to produce.

Realistic Details That Build Confidence

Active eyes add a near-lifelike finish that complements the stickleback body profile. The combination of a true-to-life silhouette and responsive tail movement makes this lure convincing at close quarters — important in the clear, pressured water where finesse tactics shine.

Choose the Right Variant

All variants share the same 9 cm length, 7 g weight, and paddle-tail design. The only difference between them is colour. Pick the shade that best matches your water clarity, light conditions, and target species:

• Lively Roach — natural silver-and-white roach pattern; excellent all-round choice for perch and pike-perch in clear to slightly coloured freshwater and saltwater

• Additional colour variants available — suited to different light levels, water clarity, and local forage fish
