Westin Stanley The Stickleback Shadtail Softbait 9cm 7g Stickleback

Westin Stanley The Stickleback Shadtail 9 cm / 7 g – A Life-Like Predator Magnet in Stickleback Colour

The stickleback is a protein-rich staple food for a wide range of predators, and Westin's Stanley puts an eerily accurate imitation right in your tackle box. Born from a 3D scan of the real fish, this 9 cm paddle-tail soft lure in Stickleback colour brings every detail to life — from the hand-painted flanks to the active eyes.

Erratic Action That Triggers Strikes

Stanley is built from an ultra-soft, highly flexible plastic that responds to the lightest retrieve or current. The paddle tail kicks and flutters with an erratic, irregular swimming action, mimicking a disoriented baitfish. It's this unpredictable movement — rather than a steady, mechanical wobble — that provokes reaction bites from perch, pike, zander, sea bass, wrasse and more.

Precision Detail, Proven in Salt and Fresh Water

The 3D-scanned body, active eyes and hand-painted Stickleback colour scheme give Stanley a realistic profile that fools fish in clear conditions. At 9 cm and 7 g, this size carries well on a light jighead and drops naturally on a dropshot rig, making it equally productive on river, lake and coastal marks. The Stickleback pattern's natural tones work effectively in a broad range of light and water-clarity conditions.
