Full Product Description

Dirty Roach – 4.5” Paddle Tail Soft Plastic

Model: Dirty Shad

The Dirty Roach is a 4.5-inch paddle tail soft plastic designed to be a versatile, all-condition inshore bait. Its realistic baitfish profile and responsive paddle tail create smooth swimming action that works at both slow and fast retrieves.

On a slow roll, the Dirty Roach maintains a steady tail kick, perfect for cold water, pressured fish, or shallow marsh fishing. Speed it up and the paddle drives harder, pushing more water to trigger reaction strikes near structure, drains, or open flats.

The color pattern—solid black on top with gold sparkle on the bottom—remains visible in dirty or clean water. Finished with a sweet watermelon scent, it encourages fish to bite and hold on longer.

Made from extremely durable saltwater-grade plastic, the Dirty Roach is built to handle repeated strikes from trout, redfish, flounder, and snook without tearing.
