The Westin Ricky The Roach Lure 80mm is a compact, ultra-realistic swimbait designed to fool even the wariest of predators. Built with a multi-jointed body and a lifelike swimming action, this sinking lure delivers irresistible movement whether retrieved slowly through the shallows or twitched near structure.

Its realistic roach profile, combined with hand-painted details, makes it a standout choice for targeting Australian favourites like Bream, Bass, Flathead, and Estuary Perch, as well as freshwater predators such as Murray Cod and Golden Perch. Durable ABS plastic construction and premium Japanese treble hooks ensure Ricky The Roach stands up to repeated strikes from aggressive fish.

Perfect for estuaries, rivers, and lakes, this lure runs at depths of 0–1m, making it a versatile option for shallow-water predators that hunt close to the surface.
